They don't turn on when the bike is off due to the relay. When the bike is on they did work initially work

If they are the ones with the intelligent heat controller you must connect directly to the battery as per the fitting instructions
No relay needed

I have mine on a relay.

They work flawlessly.

The relay is added protection so that battery doesn't ever get run down. I realize the unit has internal low power protection but that functionality actually trickles power too for its purpose

They seem to be working now

Final post of 2018 for me in this thread.

New bulbs fitted, major difference.

Jimmy Bottlehead · 19-12-2018 09:44PM

Upgraded by 30L top box to a 52L top box. Delighted, it'll be so much easier to cart around a few bits now.

What did you go for?

50% Brighter H3's + H4's and LED parking bulbs, cost me €40 all in and looks the business.

When i parked it next to my mates fazer and the lights were on on both it didn't really look like much of a difference from the retrofitlab kit he fitted.

Saved myself a fortune in the process, i'm pretty broke from it all, but it was worth it

Prick thief scratched this up a bit. Nothing I mind much, but I'd have preferred to be the one to scuff it up!

You could always get it painted to match the colour of the bike if it's bad?

Just ordered exhaust gaskets, inlet rubbers and idle adjustment for my Sprint hopefully that gets it running better

Standard or aftermarket exhaust?

Its a standard exhaust I think one of the seals might be gone no harm in replacing the three of them.

The inlet rubbers are cracked so that's definitely not helping

Should sort it so.
No harm to update the fuel map either.

I wise i had pockets that deep

I am planning my next purchase once my renewal comes up in July pending my insurance, my existing insurer won't cover me on what i want until i have held my licence for 1+ years so i'll shop around.

The DL is going nowhere though

Scotland here i come :cool:

That's a battery volt meter to gauge the battery health, it's a traffic light coloured system, green,amber,red, it flashes when the bike is parked up so people might mistake it for an alarm.

At least this way i can now look at the bike and tell if the battery is in trouble rather than being caught off guard.

Had a new battery fitted as well because the one that was in it was the original battery from new and it was fcuked.

Ignore the price, it cost me €12

Brilliant, I'll definitely pick up one of them thanks

zubair · 10-02-2019 01:15AM

Brake lights in the panniers is a nice mod.

ayux4rj6zql2ph · 12-02-2019 05:48PM

Just a short video on how these lights work after a few days of having problems with them only working when braking that issue has now been rectified, the top box led was already blown and a new one is on its way courtesy of the warranty on them.
