Ducati Multistrada Installation

Peter has done a great guide of his Bullet and PodMod installation on his Multistrada.



I recently bought and installed a set of BikeVis LED running lights c/w their PodMod modulator which makes the lights 'glitter' for greater visibility.

I removed the upper LH fairing panel and wired up the PodMod to the outlet wire at the back of the heated-glove fuse. This is switched on with the ignition, and has a 5A wire which was small enough to fit the PosiTap connector I had available. BTW, I highly recommend these connectors as being easier to fit and neater than the scotch-snap connecter type.

To locate the LEDs in the front grill I cut a small slot each side with a Dremel. This allowed the wires to clear and the full area of integrated sticky pad to sit flat.

I connected the LED feed wires into the PodMod outlet with more Positaps, and added spade connectors to allow disconnection if the grill has to removed in the future.

Costs: £12.95 for the LEDs, £19.95 for the PodMod, £6.50 delivery. £8.50 for the Positaps from ebay.

Results? Well, the LEDs are bright, especially for their small size, and they twinkle, which I think will make them more obvious to our car bound brothers. Overall I'm very pleased at an inexpensive safety improvement.
