While installation was quite basic, mounting the light body to the mounting bracket was rather challenging. This is because the bolts are inserted from behind the bracket and light body, which cannot be seen. After routing the unit’s wire to the distribution bock, I recommend gluing the black plastic bolt sleeves/collars into the 4 inner cowl holes before attempting to install the bracket. Loosely install the bracket’s top silver bolts. This will allow you to install both side black bolts. Then tighten all 4 bracket bolts. I recommend applying a small amount of blue LocTite on each of the 4 bracket bolts. When mounting the light body to the bracket be PATIENT. This is not a “hold my beer moment.” You must carefully feel where each bolt is inserted. Again, use a small amount of blue Loctite on each of the 4 bolts and tighten with an allen wrench or other tool that will fit in the area. I found it very helpful to remove the fender. From a functional perspective the amount of additional down range light during night riding is quite impressive. Coupled with the built in turn signals the GOAT-E light positively contributes to greater visibility and safety. Overall, it is a wonderful product. I highly recommend using the Goldstrike distribution block, particularly if you’re installing more than 2 or 3 light products. This keeps the area under the seat clean, neat, and organized. I have 8 pair of Goldstrike lights, two pair of a competing brand’s products, and signal mirrors. As you can see in the under seat photo the distribution block significantly made for a very clean install of all products.
