Thanks, I'll check them out later today. I saw a post or blog(?) on Adventure Rider. Do you have a page other than here where you also cover your mods?
Hello there Br Buckeroo!
I try to maintain the first listing on this thread as an indicator of all mods planned and completed on the bike. I'll be modifying it shortly.
That said, Baja 2013 4 day trip commences this monday. So of course, last Wednesday the piece of crap plastic stock tail light assembly cracks and breaks for no reason whatsoever. And beyond repairing with glops of liquid nails.
So, out with the old:
And in with the new. A cool LED trailer taillight I found on superbrightleds.com. Here's there picture of it:
I know I have been saying all along I was going to do the combination trailer light/turn signal ones. But I don't have the fundage to throw down for those....this was $25....and 15 bucks second day shipping (ouch!). A little work with the nips, and it dropped right in. The factor holes drilled for positioning the old fixture (I think) were exactly the right size and spacing for these mounting posts.
Oh hey! Did some LED improvements up front as well:
All the lights in there are LED. White for ammeter and speedo backlight. Amber for turn signal. Green for neutral (which isn't working and I need to find out why...), and blue for high beam. Also replaced the whites in the pilot lights....forgot a photo.
Put a 12v outlet for charging on:
4 dollar Walmart special. I wired it in right after the ignition switch. Works just fine.
Ok. Departure Monday morning. We'll see how the old lady keeps up with the KLR and the Vstrom. Heh....They'll be waiting on me all week.
Be safe all.
