jrsain Posted September 20, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 20, 2011 I found this on ebay for $70, it is installed, looks and works Great. Total of an hour to install. This is real effective in lighting up the back of the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farm1810 Posted September 20, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 20, 2011 Does this all mount to the two license plate mounting bolts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsain Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted September 20, 2011 Yes, and you have to wire into the stock licence plate mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryana7769 Posted September 21, 2011 Share #7 Posted September 21, 2011 Looks great, but, won't it make other parts of the bike start falling off now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDunc Posted September 21, 2011 Share #9 Posted September 21, 2011 I have the same on my bikes. I did have a situation where the weight of the light bar ended up breaking the tabs off of the original tail light. What I did to fix was have the original tabs welded again. I then fashioned another bar that was about twice the thickness of the original and shaped like the original tabs that I used like a big oblong washer and mounted that between the original and the light bar to help with the support. I have had no problems since. Oh, did I say I love the lights. AND they look good on your bike too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybo444 Posted October 11, 2011 Share #10 Posted October 11, 2011 Did you wire it into your brake lights or your running lights? Ultimately I'd like it to do both, but I'm assuming it's a single filament bulb? Tks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacheedah Posted October 11, 2011 Share #11 Posted October 11, 2011 I wired mine to running and brake lights. They do not have a ground wire and you will need to ground the body. I also hate cutting into the factory wiring or using splices so I soldered the end to a short wire, about 3" long and heat shrinked it with a male bullet connector on one end and a female on the other, unplug the factory wiring and simply plug it into each side. The bright light is the breaks, dim side running and run a ground to from the tail light plug to the frame of the light that you bolted to the license plate holder. If you don't ground the body your running lights will work and when you hit the breaks they will go off. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
