New rear light and stop light

[Robert]

Wanted a higher and brighter rear light without ruining the lines of the bike. Finally found it and had the idea of mounting it in the seat. Its not that noticeable when the bike is off but its very bright and in your face when the brakes are applied. Easy, quick and that settles a little more light in the rear. Wiring is super easy and no hole made that cannot be undone really easily. With the turns or 4 ways on its pretty hard not to see the bike. The yellow of the 4 way really adds to the color in the rear at night also.

Way to go , Robert , looks good .

It's a turn ,   brake and tail  light  ???

Is this Ad More Lighting company  ?

And ,  how did you access the wires , removing the fender was necessary  ??

I will be soon doing the same thing

More light is always good

This is super easy to do and looks good and is so bright on stop people will definitely see you.

You only need to remove the seat and put a small hole (about 1/8 inch) in the material about where you want to locate the light. Feed the wires for the light through the hole you just made in the material and have them come out under the seat material in front of the rivets. The light is self adhesive and just clean the seat and stick it on. It will more than likely need something with a better hold but for now its ok. Ran the wires under the seat tucked them under the extra seat cover material and put some black silicon to hold it there.

  The wires end just about under the driver and above the tool storage. The wiring harness for the rear lights is right there and just spliced the stop into the wire that goes to the rear stop light. Radiantz has the resistor for half brightness running lights that I bought also so ran that to the accessory fuse that comes on with the key on. Put a connector just above the battery so when you remove the seat all you have to do is disconnect the connector. That is about it and you have running and stop lights.



I bought the 5.5 inch light strip in smoke cover and red bulbs and the dual element circuit.

Relying on memory  , the wiring harness  is quite  tightly bundled together with little room  to get to other wires like the turn signals , right ?

With your " know how"   , I would of liked to of seen  you place a couple of  these on the back of your seat rest adding turn signals to the rear , too .

Nice one!

[Robert]

Turn signals are harder to do on this bike. Its because the led system is not 12v for turn signals. I am going to do it but it will not be a straight hookup. It will require a relay or some other middle electronic part.

  I thought Moonafer did this already but I have not been able to buy his setup and when I tried they said it may not work. It should not be to hard to do it just takes parts and time. I am not interested in rear turn signals just getting the front SoCal turn signals working in the running lights.

 The harness is nicely done and everything is accessible under the seat with easy exposure to the rear harness and the turn signal or lighting module.

If I was going to add rear turns this would probably be it.

That looks awesome Robert.  I was looking for something to brighten up the backend and this is perfect.  I am going to get this and add it to my bike this winter. 

Great Job.

I've had a handful of people tell me that Admore has said that. I worked with the same person when they made my harnesses. I'm also getting my hands on steelwheeler's Valk to do the SoCal install and turn signals this weekend. He is even paying me! I'll finally have a set working as long as the deal still happens.

Nice setup you have there. My Givi trunk lights are brighter than the stock lights, too. It makes a huge difference on rear visibility.

[Kidd]

Yeah ,Moofner put in a lot of effort into making the front lights work  and
I really appreciate his time  ,
 I talked to Ad more lighting , said nothing about it may not work as I am considering doing something similar  .

I am familiar with Radiantz  , I mean , I have browsed their site many times before
They make things look fancy  , in a nice way , too, I am wanting more lights for safety

I just ordered myself the 4.25" Ampd Z-Flex with and the dual element circuit to go on my backrest.
