RE: New Tri-Bar
Frank,
I did the front and back; the Smartequalizer from Biketronics does both with the one unit. That said, I am not sure if you can do just one or the other; that would be another question for Mike. (BTW, another reason I like Biketronics is because they were really good to deal with. I got the impression it is a small company and Mike is the owner. If I recall, he is also a EE, which is why I found his info valuable.)
I tried the Kuryakyn signal LED's you speak of before I bought the one's from Mike. They aren't very bright at all, and I thought they looked funny because all you see is a little dot inside a huge lens when they are activated. After seeing both side by side, I really like having the whole lens filled.
One other thing I am wondering is if mine are brighter than the Tri-Bar because they are amber. Maybe the red ones will match better??? Good question for Mike.
BTW, I don't own stock in Biketronics.
He was just very helpful, so I like to return the favor when I can; and if possible, keep others from having to buy 2 sets of LED's for 2 bikes...[:@][:@][:@]

RE: New Tri-Bar
Dave,
Thanks a lot guy, you just screwedmy last chance to keep some money on my pocket, now I HAVE to call them for a set.
Its a good point about the amber/red brightness thing, I will be sure to ask about it cause I really would like to use red brake/turn setup if possible. There seem to be far too many idiots talking on cell phonesand not paying attention to my a$$ for comfort these days.
So if I can find something thatcan increase the chances of theclown behind me seeing me better/sooner wouldbe a step up in my opinion. That's probably why I'm a little reluctant to take off those ugly side reflectors. Call me a littleparinoid if you like, butit has managed kept me out fromunder car wheels for over 30 years so I think I can live with it. No pun intended.
I'll try to let you know how I make out, I just have tofatten up thewallet a little first.
Again, thanks for the help

RE: New Tri-Bar
so I am going through the install process of the kury led front and rears.
is it true that the load equalizer they come with cuts off hazard functionality?
if so, how exactly do you install a biketronics smart equalizer? does it plug in somewhere or do I have to splice wires? thanks for the help
