    I want to install a round headlight on my 750 maxim but the oem square headlight had a nest of wires behind it. I wanted to know if the new round lights have a space in the back for all the wires or if i have to run them somewhere else? Ive seen a few of you guys with the round headlights and was wondering how you did it.. Any help will be appreciated. thanks guys.

    I'm stripping it all back and hiding it along the frame.

    Yes, all that wiring will fit up inside the round headlight bucket, too.......

    just remove the wires from the harness you do not intend to use.

    A lot of bikes have the bunch of wires (& connectors) from each switch control running back under the tank, this is a fairly easy mod to do & worthwhile, as it can get pretty crowded in the bucket.

    Monkey, let us know how that works out. Ive been eyeballing the same switch but to a small round light but I wasnt sure where all those wires were going to go. Good luck!
