Hello All!
I still have not done this yet but plan on it within next few weeks.
I really believe the Tourpak lighting enhancement will make us more visible and thus a little safer.
Today I witnessed a near miss of a truck barreling to a yellow / stop light where an Ultra was just stopping. The cager never saw the bike , and swerved at the last second to go around him into the passing lane to avoid rear ending him. So anything we can do to improve our visibility is a must!
HD has the pigtail that supposedly will do most of the light mods, it's around 60.00, but still requires mucking with the main rear TP plug.
Talked with Namz, here is the response:
first, tour pack, we will need to customize a Badlands module for you to allow this.
The module will give you RUN, BRAKE and TURN for both LEFT and RIGHT sides and an additional RUN, BRAKE & GROUND for the center BRAKE LIGHT in the tour pack.
You would need to modify the wiring in the tour pack separating the LEFT and RIGHT sides and isolating the BRAKE light as well, very simple. We supply the wiring & install butt connectors for an easy installation for you.
The one from SE Ultra Tour-Pak Turn Signal Module (TurnSE+ Module), from Ride Time Technology seems to be what most guys are going with, it would just be really nice if they would update their website information, video and instructions to correlate to the SE when mentioned.
This all goes back to the fact of the main plug only using the 2 or 3 functions to either of the LED sections, and to what level we are willing to tear into the plug and connections.
Sticking a needle into the male / female connection points to wiggle out the plug can be a challenge, especially if not ever done or done very much.
Plus the risk of screwing one of the plugs up, requiring a new plug to be crimped in place, although cheap, the crimp tool is very expensive to do it right. otherwise skillful use of needle-nose and pliers may give success.
What I have done is print off all of the instructions at the beginning of this thread that relate to the SE, and not the simple 2009ish year types, print off the somewhat current instructions on RT Tech. Print off the information about the HD pigtail, (either your dealer or sometimes the HD sight will have them with the right part number) , print off the instructions on how to remove and re-install the connector pins on both the TP main and the small 2 / 3 wire black plugs in TP bottom. And then decide to which level of fewest-connections-to-go-wrong-with-time I want to use.
I am leaning toward the Namz product, as I really HATE the Kury module, and LOVE the Badlands products. Plus the Badlands balance the current to help make everything close to the same brightness, and usually brighter than factory (I will check into that and let you know for latest module) (past experience has been righteous customer service with Badlands) and I plan on using the Namz trailer isolator with the Bushtec hidden hitch for the ride to Milwaukee this summer.
So for sure want everything to BLINK in unison!
At the risk of growing this long thread, I would like to post the final MOD with pictures, NOT to push someones product, but to simply share what I decided to do. I'm sure the simpler the better in the long run!
