    Oh okay so it's pretty much useless since I have a aftermarket headlight.

    There should be another light below your headlight that is rectangular. That little swx is to turn that one on and off. Headlight swx is on the left bar.

    Easy enough to do. All you need is wires, a fuse, a relay, a light, and a handlebar mounted switch. There are even kits all over for them. Universal kits though.

    The fog light is below the headlight. Yours may be missing. It mounts to the lower yoke of the triple-tree. Very handy to have when riding at night as it helps to illuminate the side of the roadway.

    Where's your mirror at?

    Slowly turning the bike into a cafe racer, I got bar end mirrors on.
