    Lights on the Z

    hi there, i havent got any lights on my triz but would like to get hold of some originals, i can source them but would need some help with the understanding of wiring them up, other than being without lights the Z is completely standard

    what im after is info on how i can connect the lights, battery and switchgear up together, will the battery charge while the engine is running,

    winters on its way in the UK and it will soon be dark at 4pm which makes riding after work a bit difficult, fun but difficult , as ive found with friends,

    many thanks

    On the 3WW homepage,there is a link to the right hand side that says SPECIFICATIONS.Click that and then go to wiring diagrams.There is a color coded wiring diagram for the TRI-Z.Yellow and green are hot and black is your ground.Make sure you have your voltage regulator hooked up.It is on the right side of the bike just behind the forks.There should be a silver box with one blue wire coming out.If it is not there,you will blow your bulbs out.Banshee,and blaster use the same style regulator.
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

    head lights

    hey jleggz.if you run into a hard time gettin lenses and such,drop me a p.m. i can probably help you out.and Raffa is correct,any older warrior with stock square headlites,will work.electrical sockets bulbs and lenses will all "bolt right up".i think they came on 87-89 warriors.maybe even 1990 years also.

    87 warrior light assm. $27.07 new
    86 tri z light assm. $68.71 new
    the only diffrence is the warrior has a 25W bulb,, but the z's 30w bulbs will fit.

    89 kaw bayou 220 assm. $138.57 new
    bulb plug is diffrent and harness plug so it would have to be hard wired
    The lense is the same shape but will need the plug.

    I use new 2002 220 bayou lights on my Z and they bolted right in. They were half the price of new Z lights.
