I received my light the other day and today I got the leds/board out of the housing. Um, the leds are staggered and there is only 2 rows. Will this one still work? I can post a pic if you don't know what I'm on about.

I have embarked on the road of modding. Even if you BOLT ON new parts to a bike, there will be someone somewhere that has the same combination. With the Kat, you have a unique platform. Sure, some parts might be from other bikes, but no one will have the same combination. It will be truly yours and unique.

Nice I like the more visible brake light. I have flush mount blinkers, would it be possible to do this mod and leave them on, so both the tailight and blinkers would blink?? I am assuming if not then I could just leave the blinkers the way they are and not use the tailight blinker?89 Katana 750

I looked for something universal and found nothing! love this, pretty much plug and play. I'm gonna keep my blinkers tho and just hook up the tail and stop. I'll consider hooking up the integrated and keep my blinkers... I've got a few tickets from when I was younger and I don't get warnings...95 GSX600F -- GO DUCKS -- 06 R6Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

The first tail light I made was just the brake tail and brake light and it worked just fine, then I found the integrated signal so I swapped out the board and wired in the turn signals. Im pretty sure as long as you have a variable load signal flasher you can hook up any assortment of lights you want. Resisters shouldnt be needed because the flasher already have the variable resistors build it. (But I could be wrong, It doesn occasianally happen)Last edited by HemiKat; 11-24-2010, 08:37 PM.Originally posted by arsenic93 octane fuel and K&N pod filters rock.

mine was the double row of leds as well. top row burnt out. I have a variable load relay so Im thinking of chalkin it up to gettin the cheap chinese one off ebay.
Hemi do you have a suggestion on finding the good lockhart phillips one you are using? my ebay searches keep bringin up the cheap chinese ones an Id rather not have to keep replacing them every season due to the cheaper electronics.1992- project katfighter

Ill put it this way: I had two cheap chinese boards and they both had LED's burnt out in a matter of weeks. My good Lockhart Phillips (Which still only cost me around $25 on Ebay) has been on my bike for a year without any problems. You decide.Originally posted by arsenic93 octane fuel and K&N pod filters rock.

Thanks! I got a good deal on one that the PO modified with extra leds. I scored it for $20 since it didn't have the lens It's a gamble as it has been parted out by a reputable shop. I figured its worth the chance as the led boards alone sell for $40 new... We'll see, it ships tomorrow!
Also what is different about the Lockhart and chinese; I couldn't find any that looked like the lockhart ones...95 GSX600F -- GO DUCKS -- 06 R6Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
