Thread: LED Defender - Rear Lights, indicators & flasher unit

My indicators have been playing up and now the stop/tail lights have started causing trouble. Relatively new replacement units have started to fail already and I've had to bodge one up just to hold a bulb. So I've decided to bite the bullet and ordered a kit from Bolt On Bits last night. I got the "traditional look" kit with 4 amber indicators. The kit comes with a new flasher relay to suit.

From what I can tell the wiring should be set up to fit directly to the 110 County, but I'm happy to play with connectors if necessary. The bulb holders require new holes, as they ae held on with 2 screws instead of the original 3.

I will have to sort something out for the side repeaters - they are a different shape to the ones shown earlier in this thread. I'd also like to change the reverse light and number plate light.

I'll put a follow up post on how the kit goes, but don't hold your breath. I've had a bike frame in transit for over 6 weeks now and still no sign of it.

If you stopped crashing you might not need new frames.... ?

If you're not crashing, you're not riding

But in this case, the frame is for a kind of bike I don't currently own. There are two frames coming, one for me and one for Deb. Both Surly Long Haul Truckers (disc version). We will build two identical touring bikes and take them to Cuba next year. Then probably Italy somewhere. And a few tours locally and interstate. We'll each have to sell a bike this time as we've run out of room.

Mine turned up in two weeks from them. Was very surprised at this time of year

Thanks Mr Dervish, Golly that pin 7 was tricky to cut, espesh with my rubish eyes, but I got the x60 loupe out and somehow managed it.

Don't have epelictic blinkers anymore, hooray!

Cheers Bloke, great thread.
Phill.

Yeah they are an easy fit to a 110/ county, but I did have to take off the clips, cut the old bullet wires and solder them together. The first four kit arrived in a few days, and took about 3 hours to fit because I had a few screws that snapped when I tried to undo them, and has to work out the trailer plug wiring.

Very very happy. Should have done it ages ago, would have saved a lot of stuffing around.

Mark they are much brighter than standard directly in front or behind. And probably the same brightness as the old ones beside

Admittedly they are pretty crap with returning emails. Had the same problem
