Step 1: Parts List & Bike Preparation
Installation Tips:
There are two main parts to the installation of your new
Clearwater Lights. The mechanical portion, and the electrical portion.
With this manual, we will go over the basics of both which should allow
you to get your lights up and running. If you purchased a bracket made
specically for your bike, refer to our manuals online for that specic
installation at:
www.clearwaterlights.com
Note: Motorcycle needs to be turned on before the lights will function.
Bike Preparation:
• First, park the motorcycle on hard pavement or concrete to insure the
bike will be stable during the installation. If you can mount the bike on a
stand with tie-down straps, this will help secure the motorcycle.
• Follow the manufacturers guidelines for disconnecting the battery. This
is important to prevent damage to the electrical system.
Erica / Krista / Sevina Technical:
Erica / Krista / Sevina are very bright LED auxiliary lights. Do not
use these with oncoming trac present unless the dimmer is turned
down all the way. Krista / Erica / Sevina are designed as o road only
light’s due to the powerful light output and specic beam pattern they
boast. The wide circular pattern is very useful on mountain roads when
on a motorcycle, as it keeps light on the road and in the tree canopy. As
the bike leans, lights are still focused on the road. Be certain to use the
lights in a manner that does not blind oncoming trac.
Erica / Krista / Sevina can also be used in a “low” beam mode
and a “high” beam mode. The factory handlebar high beam switch is
used to select the two dierent Erica / Krista / Sevina modes.
Krista light output is about 2400 lumens each light while only
using 35 watts of power. Erica light output is about 6000 lumens each
light while using about 60 watts of power. Sevina commands about 7000
lumens each light using about 70 watts of power. Erica / Krista / Sevina
are easy to install and have many, many uses.

Step 1: Parts List and Bike PreparationStep 2: Mounting The Lights / Crash Bar Mount
Mounting The Lights: (Crash Bar)
Mounting the Lights to the Crash Bar is very simple. Pre-
assemble the lights, and mounting bracket loosely with the supplied
parts. Locate where you would like the light to be pointing and the
orientation of either on top or hanging below the bar. Snug the bolts on
the clamp so you can now adjust the alignment of your lights.
When using the M10 single mount, you can adjust the light left
and right allowing a wider range of motion and sight. Use the M6 double
clamp mount when wanting a more rigid and straight aimed light set up.

Step 2: Mounting The Lights / Fender Mount
Mounting The Lights: (Fender Mount) -OPTIONAL
Clearwater Lights comes with an assortment of stainless steel
bolts that can allow a variety of installations. Pre-assemble the lights,
mounting bracket, shoulder washers and spacers with new bolts.
Gently screw all bolts in hand tight. Inspect the bolt length and spacer
alignment before tightening the bolts.
This location is only for Glenda and Darla lights.

The headlight assembly is also held down by the bolts shown
above in (Fig. D). Remove the top torx bolt (shown above on the
left, but also on the right), the lower torx bolt, and the headlight
adjuster knob.
With the appropriate headlight bolts removed, Carefully pull the
headlight assembly out, exposing the cavity underneath (Fig.
E). Be sure to unplug connector from the back of the headlight
assembly.

Step 4: Wiring
Wiring:
• We highly recommend you take a minute to review the wiring diagram
below before starting the wiring portion of the installation. Once you
feel comfortable with the information below you are ready to begin the
electrical portion of the installation. Be sure to keep this diagram handy
to reference throughout the installation.

Step 4: Wiring
Wire Routing: (Please consult owners manual for wiring diagram and color codes)
• Be sure to route wires so that they cannot become tangled or caught
in either a suspension part or steering part. Check movement of both
steering and suspension before riding the bike.
• It is sometimes helpful to follow existing wire routing.
Page 11
Mounting The Control Knob: (Bar Mount)
• Mount the Volume Control Knob to handlebar by using supplied
bracket and bolt to the existing controls.
• Route wires from lights and volume control knob bracket to area
under left side of forks. Connections can be made here and be kept
weatherproof.
Hint for High Vibration installations: To keep the Volume Control Knob from
rotating itself under high vibration, put a dab of silicone adhesive under the knob
and let it dry. Then push the rubber knob back on. The friction of the glue under
the knob will keep it in place.
The connector that connects
the harness to the lights may
need to be zip tied in a location
where it won’t potentially rub on
the fork.
If no location is available to get
the wires out of the way it is
possible to stick a small plate
under the beak so that you
have a location to fasten the
wires to (shown in the photo to
the right).

Page 12
Step 4: Wiring (1290 Super Adventure R, 2017+)
Locate the connector that was plugged into the headlight
assembly (Shown above in Fig. F). Connect the included jumper
plug to the male and female ends of the headlight connector
on the bike. Connect the red and white wires coming out of the
jumper plug to the wiring harness with Posi-locks as seen on pg.
10.
Ax the relay harness box to a solid object somewhere in the
headlight cavity using Zip Ties. (Fig. G) shows a possible location.

Step 4: Wiring
Electrical:
• Run the Red and Black power wires directly to the battery. The fuse will
protect the system in the event of a short.
• Mount the power relay box in a safe location (see photo below for one
recommended location). Secure with a zip tie. It is a good idea to face
the relay box with the wires coming out of the bottom. This helps keep
everything dry.
• Route the two Black connectors for the lights to a convenient location
where they will not interfere with steering or any other moving parts.
• Install the switch in a convenient location. Refer to the sticker on the
switch for proper placement.
• Switch - Crimp spade lugs to red, yellow, and black wires from relay box.
Attach to corresponding tabs on switch. (See wiring diagram)
• Using Posi-tap, attach red (turn on wire) to a switched 12v wire. Be sure
not to use a Low beam headlight wire on H4 headlight bikes or else the
lights will shut o when the high beam is activated.
• Install connectors as shown in the wiring diagram on page 7.
High Beam Feature:
Locate your bike’s High Beam headlight hot (+) lead. This will
make your lights go to full power when you turn on your high beam. Use
a Posi-tap to connect one of the white wires from the relay box to this
wire. It does not matter which white wire you use; both trigger the same
way. If you do not want to use this feature, simply tuck the white wire
away in a neat fashion.
Horn Feature:
Locate the Horn’s hot (+) lead. This will make your lights ash
to full when you sound your horn. Use a Posi-tap to connect one of the
white wires from the relay box to this wire. It does not matter which white
wire you use; both trigger the same way. If you do not want to use this
feature, simply tuck the white wire away in a neat fashion.

Step 5: Alignment / Drip Loop Instructions
Aligning The Lights:
As Erica, Krista, and Sevina are designed as auxiliary lights,
adjustment is up to the user depending on his needs. Ask an assistant
to help you with this procedure. Make sure the bike is on level ground
and have an assistant sit on the bike. With a right angle board or object,
position the board on the oor and slide it up to the light. The goal is to
adjust the lights so that the light is level with the ground.
Passengers and luggage may alter the alignment of the light, so
further adjustments may be needed. You may nd that a slight downward
angle (5 degrees) is helpful. Often times it is helpful to angle the right
side light toward the right side of the road. This helps with identifying
road terrain and potential critters.
No Drip Loop With Drip Loop
Using a Drip Loop
Though our lights are sealed for ultimate all weather use,
sometimes water sneaks by. To make sure this doesn’t happen, we
highly suggest using a drip loop. When installing the wiring to your lights,
use a drip loop as shown below. This will keep water from dripping
directly into the light and instead fall o before it can reach the back of
the body.
To do this just leave a bit of extra wiring and let it hang below the
light. You could make a complete loop if you like, but just make sure the
wire hangs below the light as shown below.
