xpress Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Installed my new Motodynamics tail light and my new One Off Fab tail tidy kit. The tail light is stupid bright, and the running light is almost as bright as the brake light... Going to need to figure out how to modify it since all of the LED's come on for running..

Going to need to figure out how to modify it since all of the LED's come on for running.. But isn't that what you want? To increase conspicuity? This is the MAIN reason I bought the Motodynamics tail light. All of the LEDs are lit brightly, then flash 3 times quickly and become even brighter when braking. I disabled the turn signal functionality. Piedmont of NC '15 FJ-09 '94 GTS-1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member clint Posted May 21, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 21, 2015 A quick walkaround of my FJ-09 and the accessories added. The Motodynamic tail light does not flicker like that in person.

trench Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Were those clear flasher lenses just plug and play? What kind are they? They look like perfect replacements. Are the mirror extenders 2". Would 1" be long enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the mirror extenders 2". Would 1" be long enough? The LED turn signals are perfect 3 wire replacements for OEM. Plug and play except I had to cut and splice the OEM wire to retain the OEM connector. Simply combine the 2 hot leads to make them function as turn only on the rears.

bobdog Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Clint, nice job. What kind of glare reduction film did you buy? 2015 Grey FJ09 with a few tweaks, 2007 HD Street Glide - Good Bike + Good Friends = Good Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member clint Posted May 21, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 21, 2015 Clint, nice job. What kind of glare reduction film did you buy?Thanks @bobdog! The Anti-Glare product I picked up from Amazon. 3 for around $10. As mentioned in a couple of the reviews, in low light the display loses some sharpness and for that reason alone, I almost removed it. But once I went riding it simply wasn't an issue and on sunny days, it's perfect!! I'm leaving tomorrow on a 4 day ride through West Virginia and will provide more feedback when I return.

Besides, I feel the running light is far too bright, less attentive drivers might mistake it for a brake light. The brake light isn't that far brighter. Thankfully the tail light has DOT stamped into it so there was nothing he could do. Did you have to use the small extension? I did not, mine literally plugged right in and away I went.

mjsracing Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 xpress, What state were you in when a cop stopped you because your tail light was too bright? Was the officer a city, county, state, or federal officer? You may wish to contact the manufacturer to see if its possible to reprogram the tail light. I love my one Off Fab tidy tail, stock tail light and turn signals with P3 conspicuity light on the sides of the license plate. Any setup with 3 spaced lights provides a triangle of light that more easily catches a follower's attention. 2015 FJ-09, 2016 1290 Super Duke, 2017 150 XC-W (primary ride), 2012 DR650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trench Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thanks. I ordered some clear ones. Does anyone know were we can buy OEM connectors without having to cut up our original parts? On the extenders I think I can get 1 inch length. Do you think 1 inch would be good enough for a standard stature rider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpress Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 xpress, What state were you in when a cop stopped you because your tail light was too bright? California. Was the officer a city, county, state, or federal officer? Sheriff for one of the local town/cities (it's kind of on the verge of being both I think O_o ) You may wish to contact the manufacturer to see if its possible to reprogram the tail light. There are options for programming and none of them include dimming the tail light's running light, nor do they include blacking out certain sections. They also did not recommend modifying the control board inside as it may damage the unit as a whole. However, they did state future models may be setup more like the factory light.

Yeah, I'd think 1" extenders would suffice if you can find them. 1 Piedmont of NC '15 FJ-09 '94 GTS-1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
