Warning! Mine came loose in the lens and it broke some of the solder point on the board. I opened it up and re-solder the 3 wires that came of and I used small wood screws to attach it to the housing. There are already holes on the circuit board so I used screws about the diameter of the holes and about 1/2" long. I know some people just set it in and it doesn't move but it takes like 2 minutes to screw it in... With re-soldering it probably took me 10 minutes to fix but I'm glad I noticed it before I was rolling invisible at night...

I guess I didnt repost when mine fell.

I had a guy pull up behind me and tell me I didnt have any tail lights, so I took the lens off and found the lens had fallen down where it wasnt visable. I glued it back in place.

I should probably try to mount mine a little sturdier as well...

Well with all ur guys input on the mod and do's and don't I should do alright.I just need some good weather and a days off work.

Aw man, it takes two seconds. I havent secured mine yet tho. May employ a glue gun. Still working on mounting some white leds facing down to light the tag. When I get around to doing some more work on the tail I'll secure the break light. I'm still very pleased with the mod tho.

My wife was following me in our cage at night and she said the running/break light was almost too bright. During the day it isn't as bright, but they were just as bright as the stock running/break light. My wife said if someone doesn't see the break light (as it is now), then they wouldn't see the stock one.

Well I'm glad i read up on this a little more, I just ordered mine about a week ago and still waiting for it, But as soon as it gets here ill know how to keep it in place.

BTW, if anyone had some questioning about the wiring as the OP didn't help me out with which color wire went to which (No Offense OP) i just did the mod on my pre today and have some help for you.

When you pull the guts out of the R1 tail, you will need to pop the wires out of the plastic clip and reuse the one off your old tail light. From the R1 to your wire harness Black will of course go to Black, Red will go to Brown, and Green will go to White. The two Yellow wires will go to the straight Black turn signal wires.

This is a vid of what it looks like installed, You can actually hear the flasher click













Sorry i didnt take more pics while i was doing the wires, Im working in a small *** room and just wanted it done.

how did you mount led board in light housing?

[cintidude04]

Personally I screwed through the board where your 2 lense holes are on either side. The with it staying put like that, used a hot glue gun to attach it at those 2 screw points. Gave the glue a couple seconds to cool, then removed the screws, reattached the lense and screws. Here in a min I'll take some pics if you need.

I'm thinking of doing this but had a question. What are you guys doing, if anything, to cover the holes in the fairing for the signals? I have small surface mounts there already but was just curious.

Thanks,

DLW

[cintidude04]

I plastic welded mine. Do a search for fairing repair or poke around the bodywork section and you'll figure it out.

Can't wait until I can do an integrated tail light for my post 98 750. Might just make my own board to fit. But its an awesome mod. I'm jealous
