Hello,
On my Triumph America, I bought a base [from DanielSternLighting.com] designed to hold a 55W H13 bulb. The America came stock with a H4 bulb. The America has a 7" diam light and it appears the R3T has the same. I am going to switch lights as the first mod - a simple wiring harness adapter [H4 to H13] makes the conversion. The change in light output and light distribution was incredible. We are heavy on deer in our area so the additional light is for safety.
My question is: I am aware of the Eastern Beaver/DEcosse wiring kit and its purpose. For the R3T since it is a single only, is there even a need to add the wiring kit? I believe the issue I have read is related to the amount of current being pushed through the ignition switch causing the ignition switch to fail.
I ride as a commuter [110 mi roundtrip] so my plan is to ride as late as possible until snow is on the ground. Heated grips and a power outlet for heated suit will eventually be on the mod agenda. I have not installed one on the America but a power distribution module will be part of this as well.
Has Triumph fixed the ignition wiring flaw?
Or, maybe this issue does not apply to the R3T.
Thanks,
Dave.
