rear reflector as brake light?!!

[PDWeyand]

Well I hated the rear reflector that behind the seat between the sissy bars and the fact the factory did not make it lighted. And after looking on the forums for what I could do. I decided to go looking.
I looked on fleabay and found http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vmax-Yamaha-...#ht_502wt_1185
I liked the way that it looked but that price was sin. So I found one like it.

Part # RP1370RD - can be ordered on-line or found at LOVE'S truck stop.
At LOVE'S I paid 9.99. On line it will run anywhere from that and more plus shipping.

Now it was easy to install, I took the seat off dropped the fender down and took the reflector and where it was mounted to out. The above light is bigger than the reflector so drilled two mount holes and then another to pass the wires through. Tapped in to the brake light wires, so it will function as a 2nd brake light. I did not use the 6-1/4" stainless steel base, it was too big and not really needed. Put all back together and took photo's of my DIY project.

just fitted one of these,,, needed a little silicone to seal the back as the seat plate isnt flat but the flashing mode is very visible,,, totally obnoxious was one description from a friend following me lol. http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-...spPage&category=&Page2Disp=/specs/strb-4w.htm

Or you can run in a completely different direction:

This is on the monkey-list for this spring. The Model 19 lights come in both bulb and LED versions, the former costing around $2, the latter costing around $7.

Definitely not a bank breaker mod.
