These were from a ‘tortas y tacos’ trailer set up in the parking lot of an abandoned dollar store. God I miss the southwest.

jdavis Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Put in LED indicator bulbs, waaaay to bright, so ordered some duller ones. Had to grind off one pin as the Yamaha holders have an offset pin arrangement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 And so it begins.... Took delivery of my first shiny new bits today. Bar Risers (from Turkey) and a Denali Soundbomb Mini Horn upgrade. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted July 9, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted July 9, 2020 @StewI think you will be very happy with the sound bomb. It takes a little bit of messing around with the mounting position to make sure have clearance with the fender on full fork compression. 1 1 He who dies with the most toys wins.

Thanks, I'll have a fiddle around with it tomorrow and make sure it is as out of the way as I can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LED "bulb" on the left is what I installed, the other was NOT bright enough for ME 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintersdark Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Finally got my ODB2 adapter cable, and it turns out my Scantool ODBLink LX bluetooth dongle works perfectly with the Tracer. Made a rather over-excited post about it, rather than raving on here: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our TS/RL sockets take the base in my pics...not bayonet you showed TS/RL? Wait, which socket do the stock signals take? I've been wondering about grabbing some ridiculously bright signals for a while, and would like to get ones that maintain the running light functionality and ideally have load resistors to avoid having to replace the flasher and faff around with wiring. But I'm not really sure what bulbs we need, and these pictures are confusing Edit: checked the service manual, and of course it just lists bulb wattage, not actually which bulbs are needed.

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted July 9, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2020 I can try to send you links for the Flasher which I showed which is basically plug-and-play except you have to reverse who leads in the plug of the Flasher Both of the LED bulbs I showed fit one is brighter than the other I use the brighter one on the left in order to have running lights in the rear you need some OEM or aftermarket 3 wire turn signals I used OEM if you don't care about running lights in the rear you can still use the same bulbs in the rear is the front which work on a 3-wire and maintain the running light it just won't function in the rear Not sure when I'll get you the links though but it's easy enough on eBay I'll at least get you the type of bulb which is a standard size plus or minus 5 mm the one that I got is even longer and it works fine the shorter less bright one works okay too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with the stock setup (running in front), and just using the same bulbs front and rear. I suppose a stock set of front indicators would work in the rear to add running in the rear too though. Thanks! I got to thinking about LED's today, and remembered I had this set in a box, from an aborted project 2 bikes ago. The remote needs a super obscure 27A battery - spent a bit of time googling around for it, just to realize it's a tiny 12v battery. 12v! So, the remote is gonna get hardwired to the bike's battery, and I'm going to run a couple buttons to the handlebars soldered to the board. I did this thing, then: And, of course, because if you're going to do something incredibly dumb, you need to go All The Way: They all turn red when you press on the brake pedal, too, because why not? Just mocked up right now (wiring all on top of the bike as I move stuff around to test it out) but I think I'm gonna keep this. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
