Thanks George.
Did your tail light ever have water in it though?
On two occassions of having no rear lights (riding or brake) there was lots of water inside the tail light and PCB - both tail light units had to be replaced.

Lights as in 2, but the light itself was not the cause..
The figured it as soon as I bought an Air Force Blaster dryer. That light was driving me crazy before I stumbled on the fix, before we installed a third. It's been fine all summer long.
As for your problem, I would keep taking them back util you get a housing that has a seal that holds up theway it's suppose to for $239.00

RE: TRI BAR TAIL LIGHT
I had this problem w/my original tri bar and now the replacement. I will try the connect under the seat. I am also considering running a small bead of silicone around the lense since it's sealed and isn't supposed to come apart.
Wanna hear the pss off? My wife bought the light for me last year black Friday sale, bought it for me for X-mas,I installed it immediately,bike sits in the house all winter, get it out and ride it in the spring, wash the bike and the problem shows up. My fabulous stealer who told me when I bought the bike that they would always take care of me told me I was SOL!! The light only has a 90 day warranty, 30 day since I installed it! Wanna talk about a PO'ed customer? Yeah, I really can't handle 4 screws and a couple elec. connectors! It took me vritually jumping on the counter to get the light replaced and haven't been back to my dealer since! Will never go back tothat dealer again, since I've spent over $6500 in that dealership on top of the bike, I wonder if it was worth it to them?

RE: TRI BAR TAIL LIGHT - Update
Despite extra sealing, after a fewweeks of rain (yes I ride in winter and rain[sm=bangbang.gif])Tri-bar number five failed.
I have given up on it and replaced it with the original, ugly butat least it works.
As mentioned in an earlier post, I wrote to Harley outlining the issues. They didn't seem interested as their response was to refer me back to the dealer. On the other hand the dealer agreed the design was flawed and readily gave me a full refund.
Thank youfor all your input.

RE: TRI BAR TAIL LIGHT
I've had the micro switch for the front break to get extra soaked and cause it to flicker, but no problems with unit itself. I'm not a fair weather rider, when weatherman says 70% chance of rain that means there's a 30% chance that it will not. So when I getcought in the rain the bike will get a bath when the skies clear,wet again.Of course I just screwed myself by reporting no problems. I've the first one that dealership got themselves, so I've had it for maybe 1 1/2 years.

HAs anyone seen the cycle vision 'eliminator" ? Looks very interesting and it eliminates blinkers!! If anyone knows about these please speek up. Expensive but if it's anygood, it'd be worth it.
