Happy Thanksgiving to all! I took today to spend with family but the lights will be finished up and shipped tomorrow from the fine rainy state of Oregon.

All but lights for BlackBeast and jcshew....holding per their arrangements.

For the rest of you, here's to the start of their US Post journey tomorrow!

Thanks for your patience everyone. I know with Sandy delaying their shipping to me and then them arriving on Thanksgiving week it was some added delay that I was unhappy with, so my apologies for that.

For those on the waiting list, I plan on doing them in smaller batches if there is a continued interest; this many at once took a large chunk of two days.

Let me know what you think.

I look forward to receiving it! Thanks much!

Can't wait!!!!

I'll post up all the installation instructions here so everyone can see the color photos clearly. Print and save for yourself.

Please go ahead and ship anytime this week. I will be moved into my new home, by the time this arrives. Thanks.

My light showed up today. I won't have time to install it until this weekend but it certainly looks well put together. Good job.

bigtallguy · 11-28-2012, 06:27 PM

Got mine in and installed today. Install took me about 45 minutes and it works like a charm.

It's a well built light, good work and thanks!

Hi Greg,

I received the light Wednesday. Excellent quality and great instructions! I look forward to installing (recovering from knee surgery). Thanks again and let me know if you develop anything else for the bike that you want to sell.

Regards,
Chris

I got mine today, looks great!

Yossarian™ · 11-29-2012, 01:07 PM

Mine arrived yesterday, got it just after I dropped my Tiger off for SB439 to be done. Will wait until this weekend to install.

Replace possible defective gear selector return spring.

Affects the VIN range: 466334 thru 501587 only.

Most owners are not affected.

I got lucky.

Got mine yesterday and installed it today. It only took me 3 hours, 15 minutes to actually install the light, 2 hours & 45 minutes to get it on and off the tab spoken about in the directions.

I jest, of course, but it was the hardest bit for me. The rest was ridiculously easy. Kudos to Pilot3 for a professional job putting this all together

That's pretty funny. Maybe next batch I include another one of those stupid little tabs so you can just rip the other one out of there. Yeah it's a bugger, no doubt. And it doesn't help that the plug obscures the lower screw for the light.

Looks great!
