Tail lights mod
« 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.

I just don't like the big brake light they throw on the bike for us Canadians, prefer the American look. :nixweiss:

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.
