room in rear lens for slightly larger brake/tail bulb?

[stroguy]

I am yours to learn from Ken. This will be a fun mod,me thanks Rick and all for the trip.

I understand your reservation, Stroguy. And, that's not to say that a white LED won't work. What is comes down to is not only lumens but wavelength. I believe you'll find that a red LED has a wavelength that passes thru a red lens more easily. That's really what is behind that selection.

OOOOOO fancy LUUUUMENS and wavelength ayyyy....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQDeU6dHX-c

And I kind sir will be waiting with bated breath your empirical results with the expectations of great success allowing me to procure the same with proven results as you go where no one has gone before.:icon_cool

Same message you send to Neil Armstrong back in the days ?

should be good...the bulb measure was LOA.length overall and it was 2.14 not 2 1/4 as I misread.

Just ordered them

Where did you order from/part #?

Do they flash before going solid?

Thanks

I want to put a flashing (3 rapid flashes then steady) LED bulb in...it looks like the OEM bulb is 1 1/2" long (from end to end) (http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detai...6-MBB-611.html) the replacement is 2 1/4" long (https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...Specifications)

I like to avoid removing the lens 2X...once to measure...put it back...order...take it off... So I'm just wondering if anyone remembers offhand how much room there is under the lens...I used this (bayonet type though) in another bike and it is plug and play and feels a lot safer...

I know about the other alternative under the license...but this with the new Kury light below would be my preference for now (for now! HA famous last words)

Anyone?

To take a slightly different tack on your question, I might ask, what is it you are trying to accomplish?

If you want the bike to have flashing LED brake lights, there's another, maybe better, way to do this:

Step 1: Buy new LED bulbs and flasher from SoCal Motosports or some other vendor.

Step 2: Buy an inexpensive wig-wag module off Amazon. I found one called SHO-2011 for under $20. It's compact enough to fit on the rear lightbar.

Step 3: Buy a TIR-3 or comparable strobe light to mount in place of your rear reflector. There is a flush-mount version that's a lot easier to install.

With these components installed, you will have up to 12 different synchronized flash patterns...meaning the brake lights and TIR-3 strobe all flash in unison.

You can even go one step further and install a push button switch above the license plate to change the flash pattern...

This solution provides significantly brighter brake lights by upgrading to LED bulbs, added conspicuity of the TIR-3, and still more conspicuity from the wig-wag flasher.

Here is my install from a couple months ago.
