Yes this is the bar but I was refering to wiring help. It seems that I will have to run a hot and a ground from the battery to the front cowl to wire the lights. Any experienced help would be appreciated

Everything you need to know about electrical wiring on a Buell is only a search away. Have a look at some of the HID headlight or heated grip install threads.

Get yourself some red and black 12 gauge wire, butt connectors, crimping tool, ring terminals and an inline fuse.

No need to run a ground to the battery as the lights can be grounded anywhere.

I have installed that kit on my Uly. The junction block they give you is kind of cheap but works. I ran my ground to the frame ground right behind the headlight. You can run it back to the battery if you wish. Just more wire and labor if you are anal about hiding the wires.

I knew a while back that I would want extra juice up front for "add-ons". I found a heavy duty extension cord with three multi-strand wires in it. I routed it into the front cowl area from the battery. Hooked up to the + with red and a fuse, and - with black no fuse. The third wire is saved for later use. I capped it till needed.

I run relays to tap power from it to various toys. I am one of the few who get enough light from the OEM lights. I do ponder aux. lighting at times.
