finally got my 07 FXST about a week ago.

Blinker bulbs..doesnt say what number it is on the bulb (1156 1157...etc), anyone know what the bulb number is?
Foot Pegs..Im lookin to get the Kury ISO pegs to match my grips,do the 07stake the male or the female pegs?
Kury side mounted plate with the taillight, anyone install these? how did u run the wiring for the plate light and taillight???

 

Front blinkers are 1157 and the rears are 1156.

 

why are they different, are they ont he same type of circuit..why not the same bulb...weird




edit:

ok i get it now...could u run 1157s in the rear too to act as running lights??? or is the wiring not made to handle that extra lil bit???

 

The front bulbs are dual purpose for running and signal. The rears are single filliment for only signals.

yes i know that, but could 1157s be put in the rears so u have rear running light as well??


I'm trying to order some LED bulbs, and being as pricey as they are i dont wanna mess it up

 

Mutiny5754 Not likely as you need two wires to run two filiments, or should I say 3. Two for power and one ground.

Bulbs with single contact on the bottom are 56s. Double contacts on the bottom are 57s. Not intended to be interchangeable.

 

ok sweet, thanks for the tip...i wish the rear blinkers would act as running lights as well...but oh well

 

Mutiny,

If you want the rear lights to work like the front ones there is two ways to go.
The first is the hard way and for that you need to rewire a new bulb socket into the housing. I have the plans for it someplace and if I can find them I'll e-mail them to you if you like.
The other is to use electronic 'trickery' to fool the system.
Biketronics makes a pair of controllers that convert the rear single filiment bulb into run andturn, or brake and turn. Or if used together they will get you all three functions run, turn, and brake.

Good luck, and have fun playing.

 

its not a big issue, just curious before i make some parts orders..

thanks for the input
