Suzuki C50 Boulevard Light Bar Install Procedure
Suzuki C50 Boulevard Light Bar Install Procedure Goal: Install light bar on Suzuki C50 Boulevard and independant 12v light circuit for future upgrades. Before: After: Material required: 14 AWG red wire (8ft approx.) 14 AWG black wire (8ft approx.) 20 AWG white wire (4ft approx.) 2 x 1N4001 diodes 1 x automotive relay Femelle crimp connectors Male crimp connectors Heat Shrink Tubing Flexible wire protector 1 helper for 30 minutes Tools required: Soldering Iron Soldering material Hex Key 3 mm [ Speedomeeter console ] Hex Key 5 mm [ Original Windshield Bolt ] Hex Key 6 mm [ Seat ] Socket 10 mm [ Gas tank Bolt ] Socket 14 mm [ Light adjustment Bolt ] Ratchet Philip screwdriver Crimp tool Electrical wire cutter/stipper © http://www.BenoitCloutier.com The information on this site is for informational purposes only.

Page 1/9 Step 1: Electronic circuit Prepare the “OR Gate” circuit as above that will enable the relay when either the low or high beam is “on”. 14 AWG red wire – Used for +12V battery wire. 14 AWG black wire – Used for GND battery wire. 20 AWG white wire – Headlight low beam signal. One easy way to solder the diodes: Directly on wires and covering them with heat shrink tubing. © http://www.BenoitCloutier.com The information on this site is for informational purposes only.

Page 2/9 Installing the new lights: STEP 1: Removing existing windshield hex bolts. 2 x 5mm Hex bolts per side. You can use a ratchet or long handle hex tool / screwdriver. STEP 2: Install the new lightbars 1 per side. I had crimped the wire with female connectors before installing. Replace the original windshield bolts with the ones provided in the kit. I have used the “spacer” in between the light bar and the windshield frame. © http://www.BenoitCloutier.com The information on this site is for informational purposes only.

On some models you have to move the chrome rack away (careful not to scratch paint !) C) At this point you should get this: D) This is what it should look like once everything is done.

Page 4/9 STEP 4: Lifting gas tank to route wires. [ At this point your need a helper to lift gas tank ] A) Remove speedometer console by removing the 3 x 3mm hex nuts. Remove speedometer connector – unclip using finger or screwdriver. Be careful not to break anything - fragile. B) Set the speedometer aside in a towel outside of work area. C) remove the main gas tank 10 mm bolt. D) Have your helper lift the tank about 4” up in the air without disconnecting the gas line. © http://www.BenoitCloutier.com The information on this site is for informational purposes only.

Run wire above engine as far away from direct engine contact. Make sure nothing is in the way of gas tank, once it will be reinstalled. © http://www.BenoitCloutier.com The information on this site is for informational purposes only.

Page 6/9 STEP 5b: Routing wires (via fork) Remove ignition key cover by pulling ... remove left hand side cover by out and lifting (fragile). Run wire at the pulling out and lifting (fragile) and run back of the ignition switch... wires out on the other side of the fork... ... and finally end the wire inside the headlight housing. • • • • • • Reinstall ignition key cover. Reinstall left hand side cover. Tie wrap everything. Reinstall gas tank. Reinstall speedometer bezel. (Don't tight hex screw too much or bezel will crack!) Leave wires unconnected to battery for now. © http://www.BenoitCloutier.com The information on this site is for informational purposes only.

Page 7/9 STEP 5b: Splicing the headlight wires (Low beam = White wire – same process for high beam = Yellow Wire) Make sure to protect fender with old cloth. Cut wire with enough wire to resolder. Attach an extra piece of white wire (20 AWG) and a female connector. This will connect to the diode “OR GATE”. Strip wire, insert a heat shrink tubing on wire. Attach the 2 ends of old wire + new wire together and solder. Heat Shrink Tubing Low beam signal connector installed and heat shrink tubing in place. Connect all wires to relay. Connect battery.

Page 8/9 STEP 6: Closing everything up Battery wires should be wired as follow before reinstalling gas tank and seat. Connects all wire, bundle with tie-wraps and close headlight. Tie-wrap wires coming out of the new light bar to the frame as required. Adjust light height by loosing up the light bar bolt (14mm). Retight once everything is completed.
