I was installing the billet tail replacement and LED tail light at the same time and I'm experiencing electrical issues. I have almost everything working. The rear left signal stays on all the time but the right side and tail light seem to be working fine. I had an extra wire with the original tail light, but one less now with the LED. Did anyone deal with this?
I think American Sport Bike is closed till Monday and I want to ride!

Maybe you tagged the license plate light instead of the left blinker. Test lights are your friends.

Thanks for the quick response. The license plate light is intagrated with the A S B LED tail light set up and seems to be working properly, as in it's always on and not flashing or anything. When I engage left turn signal switch the front left works but the rear left just stays on all the time with the switch on or off.

I too feel you got something twisted up with the license plate light. Check your connections. I am willing to bet you have something askew.

I should have done this one at a time. I can see a wire below and next to the battery that has no slack, so I will have to take out he battery to see what it is. It may go to the tail light and maybe I attached one of the tail light wires to the turn signal. I may have inadvertently disconnected a wire between the under the battery and the tail light wire, then confused the others or something. It's electric!

Yea, I just remembered anytime I've done something with the taillights on my R or CR one of the blinkers is short and you pretty much have to remove the rear body work.

Ok, you were right SS. Took off the body work and battery and sure enough the correct two wires were hiding down there.

The two extra wires that I had hooked to, are the old tag light wires, that are no longer needed, as the tag light is now integrated into the new $82.00 LED tail from A S B. Thanks for the input.
