The plugs it ships with don't match with the wiring harness, so you'll have figure that out. I took a trip to radio shack and bought $5 in parts to prevent hacking up the OEM wiring harness, but I'm sure soldering would work fine.

His budget bar-end mirrors are also OK.

I noticed something rattling from the rear of my bike. Isolated it to the LED taillight. I thought maybe the cover snapped in or something as there were no screws securing it to the base, with a slight tug it came off. It does not snap it, it is glued. Both ceramic resistor covers (heatsinks?) had somehow released themselves from the giant resistors and were rattling around inside the cover. Put them back on with some high temp adhesive and reattached the cover with superglue. All that has apparently fixed the problem. |
