Kuryakyn rear LED lights

[zeus661]

I read some reviews about the LED lights and how some stop working or LEDs fail. The last thing I want to do is stick (literally) them on the back of my bike and have them fail.

Anyone experience this?

I don't know about the Kurakyn rear lights.
But another choice would be Big Bike. I like mine.

I was just wondering if those lights would pose a problem with mounting a hitch?

Order another Darkside sticker......

Are these stories legit... or borne out of shady installations?

The connector for these lights is just hanging behind the rear fender, in a perfect spot for the rear tire to throw crap on it and foul it up. You really need to heatshrink or tape it up IMO.

Have had mine since June of 2013, and 23,589 miles, and still all good. As the Brother stated above, He is on point. Wrapped wire, and connectors water tight.

did you guys buy the http://store.valueaccessories.net/KuryakynRearAccessoryHarnessHondaGL180012andF6B.as px adapter or just tap to the bike wires ?

[zeus661]

I ordered the wire harness. I have not installed the lights yet. Should be at my door any day now.

Yup... just get the connector.

For $25 you get a cleaner installation and you're not gonna burn an hour of your life figuring out which wires to tap; I think most people's time is worth more than this amount of money :icon_biggrin:

It is way easier to wire in any rear lights with the Rear Accessory Harness (http://store.valueaccessories.net/KuryakynRearAccessoryHarnessHondaGL180012andF6B.as px). The installation is very quick also.

We also have never had a failure of the Kuryakyn rear lights from any of our customers, we did have one of our customers who purchased from somewhere else had one fail that was replaced. Same goes for the Show Chrome version, very dependable. They are both work well, just totally different styles.

You will want to protect the wires and connections, also ty-wrap them appropriately.
When installing the Fender Tip Lights or anything else going on the removable Fender portion you will need to use a waterproof connector. I used a 5 pin trailer connector on mine.

I JUST INSTALLED THE Kuryakyn 3248 Black LED Rear Fender Tip with Run Brake Accent Light AND USED THE Kuryakyn Rear Accessory Harness, Honda F6B 3234
EASY WIRE PLUG N PLAY ,
EXCEPT THE KURYAKYN LED FENDER TRIM .. THE ADHESIVE STRIPS NEVER TOUCH ANY SURFACE OF THE FENDER.
"Rub the adhesive backing with the back of your fingernail to activate the adhesive.
Remove the backing. Attach the Rear Fender Trim to the bottom of the rear fender
panel by placing one of the included flat washers, then a spacer over the threads
of each of the included M6 button head cap screws."

THE ADHESIVE STRIP NEVER MAKES CONTACT TO THE FENDER.. IS THIS A DESIGN ISSUE?

That kit comes with new fender bolts and some cylindrical stand-offs. I didn't use these; I just re-used the OEM bolts and mine fits pretty flush.

Maybe the stand-offs are too tall? Did you use these? Are they FULLY seated into the fender holes? Are your bolts fully tightened?

[baiao]

YES , I TEST FITTED THE TRIM NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE FENDER , NOTICED THAT THE ADHESIVE STRIP NEVER MADE CONTACT.
OEM BOLTS SEATED PERFECTLY IN TRIM,TRIM IS FLUSH ON FENDER. LOOKS VERY CLEAN ..
I ADDED MORE ADHESIVE STRIPS TO TRIM TO MAKE SOME CONTACT WITH FENDER

[srt8-in-largo]

I never peeled the cover off my adhesive strip. I installed it the first time to test fit it, and meant to come back and use the adhesive but it fit so securely that I never bothered.

Can you post a picture of what your issue is?

[baiao]

THE ISSUE IS LIKE YOU SAID , YOU DO NOT NEED TO "Rub the adhesive backing with the back of your fingernail to activate the adhesive"
THE ADHESIVE NEVER MAKES CONTACT TO FENDER.
THE TRIM SITS FLUSH ON FENDER AND THE OEM BOLTS SECURE THE TRIM TO FENDER ..
Sorry , caps on, I am at work .. not yelling :icon_lol:

I have had mine for over a year with no issues. Lots of good comments though.
