I got an email from ya, but there wasnt anything in it.....


FYI on the acerbis handguards/ blinkers... they are not very bright at all.........i have seen them on a few bikes..... very hard to see, and most people wont be looking there for signals..... thats why i left the stock fronts on... the backs were in the way and i bent them a few times and said they gotta go..... so i mounted the flush ones so they wont get damaged......

 

I agree 100%. I really want to replace the front blinkers but I am worried about the aftermarket lights not being bright enough. I also replaced the rear blinkers because I broke the left tab that connects the blinker to the rack. I went with flush mounts in the rear as a temporary solution until I get the fender I want.

 

I think that those of us that have done the Acerbis tail light mod just loosened the bolts and lifted ever so slightly the rack and slid the tail light under. Mine actually touches just barely. I haven't had a problem yet.

 

Hey maybe we are brothers from another mother like these guys.


And that would be me to the left,.....

 

hahahah. Are you calling me a p u s s y(cat)??

I dunno, i think i may have a few pounds on you.

 

I thought about loosening them but it would leave about an inch of "looseness" and any force on the rack will probably break the light. I think now after looking at mine i may have a slightly different one than you guys. I thought about just cutting off the middle bars of the rack, that way the light could go through. but i think its more trouble than its worth. and i'm sure i'll break the light one day anyway.

 

i was down riding in FL and i went down and the rear rack hit a tree, there were bark marks on it.... and it didnt break the light...... im sure its possible though......

 

Here's my solution for the front blinkers... I know, not that stylish, but I don't worry about them breaking and they're plenty bright.



And just a quick Hiya! to all the 'newbs' on this forum. A lot of new people in the last few months. Rocking!

 

the acerbis signals come with 5-watt bulbs..someone gave me info on hlogen bulbs at Radio Shack..they worked for a while, but then my bulbs kept falling out the rear of the lights...only to find out the bulbs get so hot they melted the plastic that the harness is supposed to press into...so I found incandescent 18-watt bulbs at Canadian Tire, but had to drill out/cut away some plastic to allow them to fit into the light housings, but now they work great...just a lot of d*cking around to get to this point

 

I just put flush mounts on my bike. They are actually clear, made for the GSXR, to fit in the recessed hole of the stock signals. I mounted them on the lisence plate assembly where the original little round reflectors are. Looks pretty good I think. Pretty stock looking. I also took off the rack, which looks better with that off as well.
I may get pics up later or tomorrow
