johnha1962 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Step 1. Using a wrench, remove the silly and ugly yellow side reflectors from the front wheel near the brake gear. Step 2. Attach your LED lights to these (way overengineered for reflectors) brackets. Step 3. Wire as appropriate, zip tying the wires to the brake lines.

suncoaster Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Any pictures ? Curious about those brackets. ugly yellow side reflectors from the front wheel near the brake gear. [span] [/span] Nothing that ugly on my 2016 - perhaps the factory forgot to put them on... maybe another FJ-09 vs Tracer regional thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty certain these things are federal DOT mandated regs, as every bike I've bought had side reflectors somewhere on or about the front wheel. Hope this link works, you can make out the top of the black bracket over the light bracket. https://picasaweb.google.com/johnha1980/6297133812016625265?authkey=Gv1sRgCMbr59282cCrLw&feat=email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnha1962 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Also, I've had very similar LED lights on my previous bike in almost the same location. LED's don't seem to be at all bothered by the vibration/movement down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted June 17, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 17, 2016 Those brackets would only be present on US-market bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went through the parts fiche and can't find the front bracket or reflector. Strange thing is the rear one is listed. Do non-USA specced bikes have ANY side reflectors?

suncoaster Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yes, we (Australia Asia/Pacific)have round orange ones on the number plate mount. Note the clear indicators also: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
