Title: Tail lights mod
Post by: Hawg on September 06, 2009, 07:04:13 PM
Has anyone removed the International tail light? Is there another smaller and better looking one that can bolt on in it's place? Can the signal lenses be changed to a clear or red lens?

This may work....it worked on my 06 SG to remove the tailight and conventional directionals. Not really sure what to do with the big LED's :confused5:

Thanks  :(Not the look I am looking for. I may just have to get my body man buddy to fill in the holes and match the paint. I would think the signal lenses can be changed to the stock USA lenses easy enough.

What happens if you buy a bike in US and have it registered in Canada... does it have to be converted?

HD and Kuryakyn make a laydown light to replace the stock part.  I've seen one on the 09 SERG and looks good (compared to stock).

Having the same nightmares... but I think i have it figured out.

Was just over to a US dealer and noticed that the US bike brake/running/turn signals are actually smoked grey but shine red. Part number 69383-09 (left) and 69407-09 (right). They are the whole light assembly and will swap out for our amber ones... a little pricey though...$195 each

Step 2 get a Layback smoked grey lense for the canadian tail lamp.... I think it will all blend together nicely

At least it all looks like it belongs

If you do swap out the LED's you need a new harness 70338-09 as the HDI one only runs the turn signals.

Here is what i'm thinking. This is the CVOHarley Member's Ultra i was talking about. He made his look like the SESG but with a tail light

True enough Kevin however I was going to leave the brake light in place and just use the LED's as signals anyway... they'd just be red not amber.

I was also investigating whether the harnes from the Auxiliary Running Light / Brake Light / Turn Signal Conversion Kit - HD PN 69461-06A could be used to get all 3 lamps to light on braking?

They also make a LED Conversion Tail lamp that has no License light and is only about 1 inch deep at the top and almost flush at the bottom.

That is my bike, why don't just change the fender to a US fender. That would eliminate the tail light totally

Yes Tracey... thank you for the idea!... the more i look at yours the more i'm actually liking the tail light. Sure the fender swap went through my mind but that one might be a little hard to sell with mama bear unless I get her at the right moment ( :drink:) ... if you know what I mean  ;)

Oh yeah, yeah I know what you mean, I can't do anymore until spring. Or the dog moves inside, and give where I'll be.
