Hey guys, I was having a V/R problem that's since been resolved, but as a result of the system having 18V+ through it, one of my front LED markers blew. I'm having a hell of a time finding a replacement unit, anyone have any ideas where I could get one? | ||

Side buying the whole mirror assembly, I'm not sure you can... http://americansportbike.com/newdir/Item/18002 | ||

1. buy the original replacement 2. heard a decent review of these 3. buy the firebolt mirrors. I've seen others say they are superior anyways. but, you'd have to create a front turn signal all that i've picked up on here, at BWB... search for it using the Google link at the top of BWB pages edit: Just remembered, with #2 - there's some dremel work involved to create room for the wires; and you'll need longer bolts. all pretty easy i'd expect. But obviously, i have no personal experience with any of the replacement options. (Message edited by bubba_ on March 23, 2014) | ||

Well i said to hell with the whole bug antennae look the two running lights that flank the head lights work great as turn signals and easy to replace | ||

And if your set on OEM parts call harley of fresno california on west shaw ave | ||

Oh I'm sorry I should have specified that I meant the one located within the headlight housing, not the mirror's turn signal. | ||

Bubba, do you have a link to the one who bought those mirrors at the ebay link? I like the look of them and wonder what the person had to say. Mainly in how bright the turn signal is. | ||

Cat2 - wouldn't waste time/money on the Ebay replacements - I tried a set a couple of years ago - by the time you get the mirrors adjusted to see behind you...the LEDs are pointed down and away from the front of the bike - oncoming traffic barely see the turn signal flash. My solution: 1)buy some honda F4i mirrors from EMGO: http://www.emgo.com/images/pdf/2014%20EMGO%20Filte r%20Mirror-ebook.pdf ...you can find them for $17 a pair or less on Ebay 2) Buy some Superbrite LEDs ( Cross ref P/N 194 wedge type bulb/base) http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/miniature-wedge -base/ NOTE the intensity factor - buy the brightest you can afford (scroll down) 3) Wire the turn signals to the "running lights" in the front headlight nacelle/mount...note again the LEDs are polarity sensitive..if they don't light - unplug them from the socket and turn them 180 degrees - re-insert them. On coming traffic can now see the flashing signal from the front of the fairing. BeefSup- the LED you want is actually an incandescent light ( type 194) you should be able to purchase at any WalMart/auto parts store...(at least they were on my '08....I see you have an '09 R....I doubt they changed them to LEDs in 2009 models.) hope this helps | ||

The firebolt mirrors are awesome. Got them from American Sportbike. I can actually see behind me now. |
