does anyone have pictures or suggestions for where to put the signals if you have chopped the tail and want to put on saddlebags? | ||
| Badlionsfan |
go with the xblights.com integrated tail light/ turn signal combo. | ||
| Jdorp_ |
thought about that. is it easy to see the signal for other drivers when im turning? | ||

I have yet to see them in person, but they look pretty bright on his site. http://www.xblights.net/redturn.html | ||

I have 1 (integrated taillight / brakelight / turn signal), don't know if its the same make, indicators r crap during the day, not bright enough & tend to get lost in the brakelight, we're not used them over here (UK) I nearly hit a bus when its brake lights changed into indicators (turn signal). Good at night 'tho. I will try to post some video of the tailight in action. (Message edited by ssscrudddy on July 09, 2008) | ||

HUH ??? What??? Jdrop===I fabricated a bracket to mount the smaller set of sport bags from Rapid Transit. Bracket comes off/ on with the bags. Will try to post some pix...I DO NOT like the integrated signal set-up....lights are too close together, makes it hard for folks behind you to distinguish left from right..hell turn signals lights are less than 2 inches apart...I want people behind me to know for SURE which way I'm turning!!!! PLUS- $200.00 for the setup is simply too expensive IMHO. now lemme see 'bout some pix...... 7:03 pm...too dark to get decent pix..will roll bike outside tomorrow and get clear pix..PM me your email addy, and I'll send ya pix (Message edited by packrat on July 07, 2008) (Message edited by packrat on July 07, 2008) | ||

The XBLights are pretty darn bright if you go that route.. If you go with the integrated turn signals I would go with the clear lens option. Mine is full brake, no signals so I went with a red lens and it is painfully bright when I tap the brake. The twin running light strips is a cool sight to behold too  | ||

Here is my own home made turn signal license bracket. It's made of aluminum stock I found on the farm. Hand bent. Fizzy canned. Saddle bags fit just like original. I used the existing holes and grommets when the wiring came into the tail. Some 5/16" stainless bolts Couple spacers and nylock nuts. It's kinda rubber mounted so it doesn't vibrate and fatigue the aluminum. Whipped together in a couple nights. Works great.   PM me I'll give you better quality pics if you want. | ||

vdufro where do you mount the bags? I have a lightning long and have removed the passenger pegs and reflectors. I am getting ready to fabricate some mounting. Do you have any suggestions | ||
| Vdubfro |
I mount the passenger pegs on when running the bags. I run the rear velcro straps over the turn signals. I have Buell factory saddlebags. I'll throw them on after work tomorrow and snap some pics. I always pic up little bits off debris between my bags and subframe and it's scratching up my powder coat. Just a tip from your old "Uncle Fro" (Message edited by vdubfro on July 07, 2008) | ||

http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/199527.html As far as your signals you can swap the front and rear signals and remove the extension on the front when you install them on the rear. I have seen this done and I think it will provide the clearance you need. | ||

So I assume I didn't follow guidleline of some sort by posting those pix??? If so, it wasn't intentional...  | ||
| Speedfreaks101 |
The problem is with photobucket. Instead of posting the pics just post a link to the pics. | ||
| Teddagreek |
Something got moved in your photo bucket and it changed the links | ||
| Teddagreek |
Or didn't use the [IMG] link   | ||

Man--I'm one of those folks that just won't ever "get" this computer stuff, guess I'll stick to mechanical stuff...thanks for posting those for me  |
