holy crap thats bright. I see spots when the brake light is on. The tail looks much cleaner without blinkers too. The LED has them integrated. nice. first ride in about 6 months.. I also mounted the plate under the tail. looks pretty good. I'll post some pics later.. now it better be sunny on sat when Erik is in town.. oh yeah, that baffle WILL NOT go onto that force pipe. I even cut 2 slits in it to try and get it to expand onto the megaphone.. no way in hell. SO, with it already ruined I cut 2 more slits, I pried them WAY open and it goes on but it has 4 flaps and will not go flush with the pipe. I guess no baffle for awhile. oh, then I took a sledge to it. | ||

i got the led tail light too. it rules!!! then i ordered the polished tail piece and the matching rails. with the polished race can the bike looks sweet!!! now all i have to do is figure out what i want to do about those mirrors | ||

Misato, your bike looks sweet. did you polish the whole bike by yourself? if so you have waaaay tooo much time on your hands. but the bike does look AWESOME!!! peep mine i put some neons on it to give it some accent | ||

the HOTTTT LED tail light w/ turn signals from american sport bike | ||

yeah, I'm sick of polishing.. just have the forks, triple tree, headlight brackets, and wheels left... and yes, the LED taillight from American Sport Bike made by heavycycles w/turn signals | ||

Tim, you ain't kidding about spots. I test every one before I put them in housings, again after I bond them in and crimp on all the connectors. The board is on the bench and not behind a lens, and it's usually a little dark in my warehouse where I do the work. I always have to remember to look away when I test the brake light, because if I don't, I can't see for 5 minutes. There are other LED products out there, but none come close to Heavycycles stuff. It's hard to show people though, the differences don't photograph well. Al | ||

Can't find it at American Sport Bike. Hint, please??? | ||

#9037 is the raw circuit card that you install into your housing, is here #9038 is the turn key assembly, ready for bolting onto your bike. Comes installed in the housing, connectors already terminated, with a clear lens, see here We have similar for the tube frame bikes as well, here and here Al | ||

When we first started selling the Integrated turn signal/Tail light, the only working solution that we had to normalize the flash rate was a turn signal equalizer unit ( see here) I do not believe this is an efficient or cost effective way to minimize the flash rate, as it just sucks power into a large power resistor. Besides, it's kind of a pain to wire it in and find a place to mount it. I've been searching for a reliable, wide current range flasher that would not flash the turn signals faster regardless of load. I've finally sourced such a flasher. It is from the truck industry, which has a longer history of using LED lighting than the automotive industry. It has the identical ISO pinout as the one used on the Buells, so it is a direct plug in replacement. It doesn't have the mounting tab that the Buell flasher does. But I was able to use the Buell flasher mounting tab by removing it from the Buell flasher and attaching it to the new flasher with double sticky tape and a tie wrap. I've tested it with a single LED and the flash circuitry works. The manufacturer claimed that making it long life/reliable with high current loading (larger loads than you'll ever see on a bike) was what kept this from coming out sooner. So I'm pretty sure that this flasher will take anything that we'll dish out to it. If interested, see here  There is nothing wrong with letting your existing flasher flash fast, other than that it will wear out the flasher faster. But if it annoys you, get one of these. That's quite a tongue twister: If your flasher flashes faster, your fast flasher fails faster. This will work with other LED turn signal products as well. Al |
