Bar End LED turn signals & brake light
« on: December 20, 2022, 06:45:56 AM »

Hello, all!

Has anyone put in these LED bar end signals and/or this tail light rig?  Not sure if it's possible and/or where to start on my 22 FX.

For the fronts, I would loosen the bars, rotate them so you can drill a hole in the bottom center, fish a piece of safety wire out to the ends. Tape the wires to the safety wire and pull it right through. Put some silicone or black RTV to protect the wires and keep out moisture. You can run the wires down the forks right to the existing turn signal wiring. There ya go!

I agree with @Say10 15FX 16FXS and would only add one small part. With the handlebars turning side to side may introduce strain to the wiring as it exits the handlebars I would add some small rubber/silicone grommets to help protect the wires from friction, fatigue, and failure.

Good luck with your project @emags!
