We now have cool Oil Coolers and Heel Guards in stock, Made in England.

Check out the thread in the vendors section titled,

Weiser-Motorrad New Farkles.

Happy New Year, Thanks for all of your support in 2009, even in a shit economy a bunch of you purchased my LED inserts. Thanks for all of the great comments! Keep Riding!

For those that didn't, I just received a new case of LEDs from England so I have plenty, $120 for all 4 corners, free shipping!

Cheers,

TB

I see the Alpha's are available for Buell's.......
Got any of them on hand?
Same deal as the BeeMeer's got?
Or is there a separate post for us Bueller's that I totally missed?!

I do have the Alphas in stock, they fit the rear on the 1125R

I really like that bike.

Let me know if you need a set.
$60 Free shipping.

Would like them for front and rear.
Will they fit on the XB series?

I'll need to swing by our local dealer and see if they have an XB left that I could check. I'm almost certain that they don't fit, however I think they are using the same housing as the 1098 in which case we may be able to make some up for you, I will need to check on the electronics for the correct resister load.

In other words, maybe!

Give me a few days and ill get back to you.

Dang! Just found this thread! Coulda put these on my Xmas list at the discounted price...

Trying to install the signals on F800GS. The terminals where the wires connect are atleast twice as thick as the stock ones. ie the wires wont slide on over them. Could anyone who has installed them comment on how you handled it. . The only thing I can think is to stick something into the ends of the wires and pry the metal apart enough to slide on over the LED terminals.

Hi RockinRob,

I'm sorry you are having trouble, the size on the spade connections has been a little inconsistent and yes you are correct you can overcome this by gently prying the female end just enough so it still tightly pushes onto the circuit board.

I hope this works for you, good luck,

Cheers,

Other than that and trying to work around my pannier racks on the back no that bad. My technique on the back 2 must not have been as good as the front. I managed to break the protruding plastic pin on the lens on both of them. I secured the lenses with the screws and it seems plenty tight so maybe I can do without them.

Any news on the fitment for an XB?

scopedr · 01-11-2010, 06:03 PM

I used needle nose pliers to attach the contact to the splade. It was tight, but they eventually went on. Only damaged one connector, but was able to fix it with the pliers.

rockinrog · 01-11-2010, 06:25 PM

I should clarify. I didn't damage the electrical connectors. The clear plastic lenses on my F800gs have a long plastic tab on one side... as I found out they are very fragile.

I found that out too breaking the tab off the first lens. The locks have to be seated correctly, or the lens is hard to put back on.

Yup, I had to do the same on mine. Here's a post from earlier in this thread.

I also have a broken tab on one of my blinkers. Been that way for a couple years but hasn't been an issue.

It looks like the beta-style arrays would fit decently inside the R1100 signal housings. What is the input voltage accepted on these? If it's 12V, I don't see any reason why these wouldn't work on older models (with a parallel resistor to correct the flash rate), not to mention increase the market for these.

I'm looking at 1156-bulb retrofit solutions, and this is definitely the best potential one I've found, within reasonable cost.
