Install Motorcycle Tail Light

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:55:47 +0000

Our Quality Taillights are Direct Replacement Units; the only wiring modification you may have to make is to wire in the Integrated Turn Signals.

You will need to connect the Positive Lead from your Turn Signals only, the Negative Turn Signal Lead can be taped off and tucked away. (The Taillight will get the Negative from the Taillight Negative)

You can pull out the pins from your Original wiring Plug and push ours in place and simply plug them into the existing connectors. (They are easily removed if you have a small pin to push them out with)
As an alternative you can simply hard wire them into your Positive Turn Signal Leads.

The Blue Wire is for the Left Turn Signal
The Red Wire is for the Right Turn Signal

Install Motorcycle Engine Cover Bolts

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:53:25 +0000

The install is very straight forward, please read this thoroughly to ensure there are no problems.

Install:

Remove One Engine Cover Bolt at a time and replace it with a matching bolt from our kit. Do not attempt to install a bolt that is larger than the one you removed, serious damage could occur. Always be sure to check for clearance first.

Do not over tighten the bolts; you could damage your engine casing. They should be snug but not overly tight.

Use the Anti-Seize Compound included on each bolt.

Do not use Aluminum bolts in Safety Critical Areas; Aluminum bolts are great for Engine Covers, Clutch Levers, and many other applications. They should not be used for Brakes or other load bearing applications.

Install Motorcycle Grips

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:51:25 +0000

When installing the grips we suggest you use windex™ to lubricate them, this will allow them to slide on more easily and will dry without a greasy film.

Be sure not to push the throttle grip on so far that it interferes with throttle operation! Always check for proper throttle operation before riding the bike.

Install Motorcycle Foot-Pegs

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:50:09 +0000

Please note that these pegs can unscrew, therefore if they are not tightened properly vibration can cause you to lose a peg.
After you install the peg take a towel and wrap it around the peg, then take a wrench and clamp the peg down tight. Do be careful as you can scratch the peg, be sure to have plenty of material between the peg and wrench to protect it. This is sufficient to prevent the peg from unscrewing, however a thread locker is also recommended.

Install Motorcycle Levers

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:47:23 +0000

Remove Old Levers, Grease Pivot Point of the New Levers. Do NOT Over-Tighten the bolts, they are not meant to be clamped down. Be sure the brake cylinder actuator is properly seated, it should not be overly tight against the piston.
As with any Motorcycle Lever, OEM or Aftermarket, Test the Lever Performance Before Riding. Be sure they are installed properly and allow for normal brake operation. When in doubt have a professional install the levers.

Install a Motorcycle Turn Signal LED Flash Controller / Resistor

Tue, 22 May 2012 07:29:25 +0000

Resistors are used to correct the current drop that is caused by LEDS. This current drop will cause your lights to flash at a much faster rate. Our resistors come with 4 wires to give you the opportunity to install them without splicing the wires.

To install you would connect one Black wire to the ground on the bike, the other Black wire to the ground on the light itself. The same applies for the positive, one goes to the bike, the other to the light. You could also clip off one of the wires and splice them in directly if you don't need the 4 wires.

You will need one set of our resistors for every set of LED signals that you order.

To install a 2 wire signal to a 3 wire system

Tue, 22 May 2012 07:27:40 +0000

Simply remove the running light wire, tape it off, and tuck it away. To find out which wire is the running light wire you can test them by holding them up to the signal while the bike is on.
