Put on a 1 1/2" tank lift, washed from top to bottom, and conditioned the leather.





I wasn't sure I'd like the lift but I think the line from the tank to the seat is much better now.

cggorman, are you setting up those lever leds for run and turn lights or just using them for turn signals?

How are you going about that? I was looking at the Custom Dynamics Tru Flex LED Dual Converter but wasn't sure if that is what I needed.

Full custom wiring with a Motogadget M-Unit Blue acting as the controller for the whole system (minus ignition).

I used to run a Badlands Illuminator Pro 3. I think it had front run/turn, but can't remember for sure.

Badlands (Namz) and Custom Dynamics are both good. Kuryakyn also sells a couple lighting controllers.

3W vs 1W (both 11mm)
23 lumen vs 10 lumen
Stainless vs Aluminum
180 degree viewing angle vs 60
IP68 vs IP67

ETA...

Tore apart the levers. The 3W and 1W are direct swaps. Delt Fab appears to be using Oznium LEDs...or maybe clones. The one I took out isn't quite as nicely finished as the Oznium I had. Not that it matters. It worked fine. The colorless one below is the Amber that I took out. The yellow one is a warm white I had laying around.
I also run Brians (DeltFab) levers... but version 2.0. I have to tell you they are super bright... I know he updated the LED and wiring and bet they may be the brighter 3w version.

Do you know if yours were version 1 or 2? TIA!

Honestly don't know, but I just ordered them a month ago. I guess I'd have to assume they are the latest version. They are pretty bright, especially with the 60 degree lens. I checked the current draw and they are definitely 1W diodes. Being a self-diagnosed LED lighting junkie, I have a hard time staying away from the high output diodes... I also like the idea of the wider beam from the 3W diodes; gives me more flexibility with lever orientation without worrying about visibility.

Tried to figure out how to change the chirp settings on the Smart Siren. The owners manual lays it all out but just cant get the sequence right to enter the settings menu.

I swapped my gen 1 to 2 last November so yours are definitely his latest. Can you take a vid of the 3 watt vs 1 watt?

I’d love the brighter ones... would not look forward to resoldering those tiny wires again. Not hard... but old eyes.
