I installed the black Maund Lucas tail light with rear turn signals. My son is an electronics wizard, and made me a perfect wiring harness, and that went pretty well.
Finally had a decent day here in Central NY so I took a vacation day to clean up the yard and install the FRONT turn signals. Really no big deal - I hated to, but simply clipped the stock connectors from the stock lights and butt spliced them to the "New" signals and taped them securely.
Of course I had to put the battery in and appeal to the Gods for these lights to function properly.
I also got a sweet Mustang seat, and there isn't squat for clearance to get the seat screws in/out without scratching the new tail light, but finally got it off and put the battery in. Going to slide the key in for the moment of truth!!!
NO FUC*ING way is the key going to clear the "new" signal !!!???? I bought the "blanking biscuits AND spacers" from James and my key (2007 Bonnie) doesn't even begin to clear the signal.
Needless to say, I was pretty pissed off to have to grind off a significant amount of the plastic body to get the key to insert into the ignition switch.
I guess I'm relating this as a "Heads Up" to anyone that has the bike with the
"triangle" shaped key, and is planning on smaller turn signals mounted in the stock position.
I called James - great guy to deal with by the way, and he suggested spacers to move the switch in towards the headlight. Not much room to play with, and the alternative is the ignition switch relocation bracket - more $$$ to make the wife happy.
Guess I could have simply left that beautiful chrome bubble tail light and signals on.
