Just ordered Custom Dynamics Yamaha LED kit

[hubbsfd]

Hey y'all. I just ordered the Custom Dynamics Yamaha LED turn signal conversion kit. Front Amber LED's rear Dynamic clusters. Comes with the two load equalizers for front and back. It also comes with GEN-MDK. Anyone know what that last thing is? This is a pretty straight forward install so I don't anticipate any issues. I'll have to find a good spot for the load equalizers as they get hot. Any advice is always welcome.

My advice is try 'em without the load equalizers first. I run mine without.

 

Anybody who's telling you that you have a burnt out bulb because the one (s)he sees is flashing fast is somebody who isn't going to run you over and claim they didn't see you.

Congratulations!

I really like mine and the turn signal/brake lights work great. I placed the 1 load equalizer in the fairing and the other on right side of battery. Heat is always a major factor here in Vegas. But Custom Dynamics assured me there would be no trouble. (I bought the high heat EQ's) You will really like how bright the lights are. Did you get the 100 L.E.D. brake light.

Yes I got the 100 LED brake light first. Love the brightness. Thought I should do the Dynamic Clusters to add more running light to the rear and bring up some more light in general.

I did a write up on the install of the run/turn/brake lights. Hope it helps with your install.

Thank you but I had a 5% discount from a previous order. Appreciate it though.

Hey XV1100SE:

 

I used your write up and did mine very similar. Only I opened enough brackets under the fender to allow enough slack to push the bulb connector into the housing far enough to get my wires in beside it and down the tube. Otherwise great help. I'm up and running. Just need to put the equalizers in and I'm done. Thanks again.

Anyone else doing this, BEWARE until they fix it. If you go to their site and click on Yamaha then Venture it takes you to a KIT and there it says.

Fits: All V Star 1100 & 650, all Road Star (ex. Warrior) and all '99-'08 Royal Star Models; Does not fit Raider......

 

So to me that meant plug and play, However when I called they informed me it was an extra $65 for the plug in LED Flasher, But I went for the wire in one thinking I could use wire taps and not cut the Factory harness.

 

Then HUBBFD told me its not that simple, you need a load equalizer and toss the diode or resister kit for the turn signals as we don't need em. AND since it requires a load equalizer, they suggest you don't turn on your flashers for any length of time (What other time do you turn them on?

 

So I wasnt willing to go for all that and I decided to return them and do something else. I returned them Unopened, Never even opened em up based on what I learned about the install,

 

Today they called and said I either have to order more lights or pay $25.00 restocking fee on top of the $11 Postage I paid to send em back.

 

Ok I GUESS if you order something and it dont work out, but it says on their site it FITS 2008 leading you to believe its PLUG and play and its not even close! It has stuff in there we do not need and does not have stuff we do. I was on a time limit, I can't be jacking with it. I asked for 100% of my money back based on the fact that they list it as a kit and its not, you need to buy extra stuff, thats bait and switch. AND they KNOW about it, because other members have TOLD me they TOLD them and STILL they ship the kit with the wrong stuff.

 

They said wait until Monday, and we will see if you get your money back or not.

Its their mistake for listing it wrong, not including the right stuff and including things you don't need confusing you even more. Its a generic kit and they only thing it has in common with our bikes is the end that plugs into the turn signal socket, thats it. \

 

I think you will have $300.00 into it in just parts to get it to work. Stay tuned see if they fix it. Ill post it if they do and if they steal my money Ill be sure I post on every site known to man on my Paid layovers in hotels for 26 hours at a time.

 

Yep! Im pissed!

 

ANd by the way, if you put a license plate bulb in line, it will do same thing as the HOT equalizer and not as much heat. But im trying to keep it neat and easy to maintain and what good is the reliability of LEW with light bulbs in line and equalizers anyways?
