Built a set of risers for the Superglide. Made a big difference in the feel of the bike. More of a direct feel. I assume the older risers must of had some flex in them. These are made from solid stock with a brace in the middle.

 

Finally got rid of the (IMO) terrible plate/signal/tail light combo that came on my bike and installed an LED tail light with integrated signals and layflat plate frame. Both from Speedkings.

After putting the LED tail light on I noticed my signals now blink 4 times normal and then speed up, and that the "key" light is now on on my dash when I'm riding. I'm sure there are other threads about this and solutions but I haven't had a chance to look yet. Heading to a Christmas party now so if anyone has any info and wants to save me the researching later I'd appreciate it!

 

power washed away the oil from the frame and the dirt/debris from the oil coolers on both bikes.

 

Did you put the load equalizer on?

 

Scored a Powervision locally for $30 and paid Fuelmoto $189 to unlock it. FM was running code cyber05 for extra 5% off

 

Amid my outdoor build (cause I just moved and don't presently have a garage)....
Bike is tore down. Cam chest is open.

Its about to snow 6 inches today.

I wrapped cam chest and case with 3 layers of plastic wrap, a tarp and topped with a bike cover.

Hope its ok.

 

Nope. Did a bit of googling and it looks like that's the answer. One of my buddies has done LED on his whole bike and didn't need an equilizer. What would the difference be? Looks like there are equalizers up over $100 and much cheaper ones like this. . What's the difference?

 

How sure are you that he didn't use one? Some kits include the equalizer, he might be forgetting if whatever he installed did. Or his lights just flash quickly all the time

 

If you have one of the newer bikes with canbus there's a synchronization procedure you go through to prevent hyperflashing with led signal lights:

Thanks for clarifying. Looks like it doesn't help in my situation because my bike is an 07 but good info for the future.

I guess that creates my next question. Do you have to put a load equalizer on every LED bulb/unit you add? At some point I want to put the HD mirrors with turn signals, and possibly an LED headlight. It looks like it's something you add right at the light, but is there a way to cover the whole bike from issues moving forward?
