Very nice, only if I could get it to work that easy on my vulcan s
I already have the M Blaze Discs installed on the bar ends of my Sportster. Now I am thinking about installing the M Blaze Pins for my rear turn signals. Will I need to also intsall a flasher relay from moto gadget? It seems that they recommend using a relay for all of their led light installations. Did you use a relay for your motorcycle?
Hello, do YOU have a link FOR the turn lights?
Hello
Hi guys, if you're thinking "I've already seen this video?!" I've had to re-upload due to a copyright challenge on the last video song stopping it playing on mobile devices. Thanks for understanding! RD
Can you send me your exact colors from the main harness off the bike onto the tail light? Previous owner botched my harness 🤦🏽♂️
Thank you, Wanted to do mine. You gave me the confidence to tackle this. Bike looks great by the way...
No worries mate, just take your time, think it through and make sure you have the right tools for the job. Hope you enjoy it!
That is the biggest reg plate I've ever seen. ;)
You're already breaking the reg plate guidelines by having it not be visible from the right hand side, so you might as well just get a smaller reg plate.
Shadow Broker ... that’s not strictly correct ... A side plate is legal provided it can be viewed at a reasonable angle from the right side at the rear. This is similar to how lorries often have their plates on one side at the rear.
Aggggggrrrrrrrr....all is good mate but one thing i like about my sporty are those awesome led stop/turn signals...and they do cost a bit as well...you wouldn’t happen to be selling them? Lol.
hello,
do you have the name of the backing plates to cover the holes for the turn signals?? I can't find them.
love the look of the bike by the way I'm thinking of doing the same with the front turn signals must different handle bars
My wife would murder me if I brought my Harley in to the house. Ballsy move mate
Mine too. I turned my garage into an office space and that's where I kept it, kept everyone happy!
Hey RD or anyone else fitting this LED rear light. Make sure you silicone seal the cable entry as although it has a grommet, mine just failed and when I pulled it apart there was water damage on the PCB when the cable is soldered....
v8dve Thanks for the advice, will dab some silicon sealant tonight! RD
@@ridingdigital Second time I fitted this LED rear light. Twice my rear tire has been eating it after hitting a pothole. Maybe it's just me that can't avoid joyriding potholes
@@funcle8572 same issue with me, second one worn through. Just ordered one from HD for £65 which looks exactly the same without the big box so doesn't rub + its plug and play. will be doing a comparison video soon, definitely not worth the cheap price on this
gracias. Excelente video!
So I’m trying to wire my taillight and it keeps flashing with my indicator. Anyone know a way around this?
Thx for share your tips ... i have see a lot of videos about this subject but only yours can help me so thank you ! Support from france enjoy da ride !
I was like, "He just keeps uploading the same vlog. Over and over again. wtf man."
I get it now.
Cheers
Thanks for the video really helpful. Any chance your selling those handle bars on the ground.
No worries glad it helped, I'm due a clear out soon so may well do, will drop a post when I'm getting shot of some stuff!
im curious to ask how the light is holding up over time with just the 3M tape?? im planning on doing the same to my sportster however 2 issues im thinking can happen is 1. the tape doesnt last and the light falls or 2. the rear bottoms out and the tyre touches the light and rips it off, have you had these things happen on your end?
The light held on absolutely fine for years, was never at risk of coming off. HOWEVER, the size of the light block meant it rubbed on the tire and eventually rubbed through the plastic. I ended up replacing it with an official HD rear light that was slimmer and avoided the issue. Was much more expensive but less than a cheap light and a new rear tyre!
i see you also have a red light on in your dash. I have the same fender light but with indicators built into it. whenever ik brake the red light will come on. Any idea to why this is/how to fix it/if its bad for the bike.
I'm not 100% sure, the abs rear brake wire popped out and rubbed through on the wheel which I know is throwing up an error code during services so I guessed it was that?
Hi, I've tried looking everywhere but can't seem to find any comments on how bright the m.blaze ice are. What is your opinion, or better yet, have you done a proper comparison against other brands like Kellerman, or Rizoma?
+Polapat Leenutaphong Hey, I don't have any technical data or comparisons but I can say both the Motogadget Bar End and ice indicators are incredibly bright - you won't be missed. Guys I went riding with recently commented on how bright they were. Hope this helps RD
Where you got the indicator lights It looks dope
Sweet bike....seems like those turn signals would be difficult to see on a sunny 🌞 day by others.
thanks buddy, surprisingly the lights are super bright, even in the sunlight. The bar end indicators are also double sided so they can be seen from the rear as well
where did you get the backing plate?
Krista Clark I have the same question

thanks!
Riding Digital awesome thank you
looks great. would to do it on mine but in Australia we have the plate on the back only and it must have a white light on it.
Bomber thanks man, we have the same law in the UK on rear plate - I did a previous video on installing a legal side plate here which you might find interesting!: ua-cam.com/video/ezH30kngclc/v-deo.html
Riding Digital Unfortunately a side plate is illegal in Australia. but I did watch that video because I want to remove the plastic tail.
I noticed the turn signals by the handles. That’s the first time Ive seen that. Looks really cool. Can you add them and maintain the stock ones at the same time? So you essentially have two sets of turn signals like in cars (front signal and mirror signal).
thanks. You certainly could split the wires but whether it works depends if the relay has enough voltage, you may need to switch it out it to run both. The bar end indicators are super bright so tbh from a visibility perspective I personally dont think you need both. Good luck 👍🏻
@@ridingdigital Thanks for the reply. I wanted to get those turn signals that are white when they are not in use for even more road visibility. Also, having two turn signals would also aid visibility (like in cars, where they have it in the side doors and the front). That’s why I asked. I think it would look cool too.
What are the length of your rear shocks
10.5" from memory
Very good! Thanks
no problem! 👍🏻
Essa setra parece aquele supositórios
Why at the end of the video when u put the right side blinker on. That they all start flashing? Sounds linke u need some led flasher relays to fix you hazard lights
+Ron Don I think the noise you're hearing when I click on the power is the ignition coil priming. All the blinkers are flashing because I've put the hazard lights on to show them all working.
Riding Digital you have a hazard light for ur bike? I never heard of it and my bike won’t flash with a led signals change over. I think I need flasher relays for my 02 1200custom sporty
That's the fuel pump mate..
That really came out good. ! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Richard, I'm pleased with it!
What kind of exhaust is that?
it's an Arlen Ness Magnaflow Lowdown Exhaust with Design Engineering Titanium wrap applied. I've put my thoughts on it in some of my other videos 👍
Where did you buy those turn signal lights and the brake tail lights? it's very nice and neat.
+mrjtful Tayo Thanks! I got the brake light from eBay, there are hundreds like it on there for around $20. The turn signals are Motogadget M-Blaze Ice indicators which I picked up from a dealer in Germany but you can get them from most places like Revzilla etc. Be careful though, sometimes they are priced as individuals not a pair. Hope it helps with some inspiration! RD
Again thank you!
is it the same exact lights for rear turns and for the handle bar turn lights?
mrjtful Tayo Same brand and range but different designs. Bars are motogadget m-blaze cone bar end indicators. RD
How did u loosen the turn signal housing unit ?
From memory, get your hand up the back of the side rail, its tight with the tyre but you should feel a bolt which you can loosen with a spanner, its fiddly but doable 👍🏻
Riding Digital thanks a ton !
I love the cigar box with Che on it, definitely caught my eye lol
Lazer’s Gaming Channel HA! Gotta have somewhere to store the Cubans!
I think you should have wires so that your blinkers are running lights too, for additional visibility
But the install does look awesome
Just put led in the original ones
Just bought a 2012 Forty-Eight that has of one of those piece of crap brake lights installed - the same one you're installing on this video. The one on my bike was installed poorly; it's now broken and hanging near the wheel. I'm no mechanic or electrical genius, so I need a learned opinion here - can it be removed by simply cutting it off at the wires and hiding them away? Or will that mess up all the lighting on the bike (turn indicators still work and can function as my brake light until I buy a replacement...) Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Sorry to hear that. I assume then you still have the original indicators that also function as the brake/tail lights. First question is can you simply reattach the light to the underside of the fender? A strip of VHB tape will fix it strongly. If youre running the original indicators and have this unit then the previous owner will almost certainly spliced into the wiring for one indicator side. If you need to remove the light Id cut the wires as close to the unit as possible, then isolate each wire individually so the bare ends don't touch each other, then tuck away. If your rear light is like mine (e.g. just tail light and brake light) then your other electrics shouldn't be effected. When you come to fit a new unit it would be worth tracing back from the ends you cut to see how the last owner connected those wires to the originals to see if it's a secure job, if not redo properly. So basically I think you'll be ok if you wrap up the wires but without seeing it it's impossible to be sure so make sure you're happy with what you're doing. Good luck 👍🏻
Riding Digital That's perfect. Unfortunately, the light is unsalvageable; the adhesive came off mid-ride and the cheap plastic light didn't survive the rear wheel. In pieces. The previous owner seems to have spliced into the original wiring to attach (stock turn indicators are still on the bike, and still function as brake lights) so cutting the add-on piece away and separating the remaining wires looks like it'll do the trick. Thank you so much for the expert advice! I appreciate it.
No worries mate, Im not an expert by any means, I just give it a go, try to enjoy it and see what I can learn! Let me know how you get on 👍🏻
where the hell did you get the blanking plates I can not for the life of me find any
