I found that my horn bracket mounting hole had become worn into a large oval & the horn moved lower & lower until it began buzzing against its contact with the plastic windscreen.
I put a bushing in the hole, reversed the horn & used a rubber washer on the mounting bracket & used a rubber washer on each of the eight windscreen mounting bolts - the colored plastic screen....
Also ran a bead of rtv along the top of the metal nachelle that houses everything- between it & the top of the screen .
Bye buzz!
My guess - just moving the horn would have done it???
When my volt meter arrives - what wire would you splice into?

Pre 2008, the aux outlet does not shut down for low voltage.
I suppose you could just run it off the low beam wire as well, and just accept that it won't work with the high beam on. |

Besides the headlights blowing, what other danger is there in riding before getting the new VR? 2wks before I will have one. I was thinking of getting driving lights anyway, may be a good time to get some hooked up. |

Over voltage can damage anything that uses electricity including the ECM, and it can make your battery explode.
Mine would occasionally spike, I would cut the motor for a second and restart and it would be fine for a while. I rode like that for like 10k miles before it started getting too frequent then I swapped it. |

Looks like VR may be going bad blew another low beam & the high beam is having solar flares on occasion... Have a new spare regulator for the earlier Ulysses - will it work on the single phase 08?

The wiring is a little different, but I don't know if it will work in a single phase mode for your 08. I've seen smarter aftermarket ones shut down if a phase is lost, but I can't speak for the stock ones. |

Froggy,
Kag over at ADV mentioned taping off the #8 pin in the instrument cluster as a fix ...
I have not noticed any high readings per the recent kurakyn but am still getting big flare ups of the headlamps...,
