I use both and depending on what I'm working on, I'll use hand tools. But different strokes for different folks I suppose. I will say that I've done plenty of more to the bike and have used power tools on all of it. Still no damage from the tools because I know the capability of the tools.

Haha. Triumph. Honestly likely some government regulation about sizing and spacing that OEMs are required to meet I'd suspect. But yeah, this is why I changed them out.

Yeah, the function of these are very basic. I could have drawn up the spaces and 3d printed them out as well. But for the time invested vs cost, I decided to just purchase these. As far as using other items to take up the space, yep, tape would work as well.

yeah, it's such an easy fix, and improvement of ride quality, that's its sort of embarrassing that triumph doesn't fix the slop in the throttle tube

I haven't painted anything on the turn signals (stock or the aftermarket).

Hi Bob. The holes were not threaded. I did not have to do any modification to the mounts for them to work.

Hence why at 2 minutes in I say they are not DOT compliant and that it's up to you to make the determination to install then or not. I will say that I've been around plenty of cops and not one has said a lick about them not being compliant. I also live in the states. I know some are more strict than others.

Yes, this will eliminates all slack. So, if you like a bit more give, then this is not what you want to do.

@@weekendmotorcycleguy3229 I have the same red clip fitted to my Ducati Panigale and they work just fine. The difference is it's dyno to 250 increment to deliver a smooth throttle response. On the Triumph Factory custom, I realised that it worked better without.

Yes they are :)

Yep, just had to play nice with regulations for governments :)

You can get CAN bus adapters for the most part. Revzilla supplies an adapter for some of the Rizoma signals. Custom Dynamics also makes sets for HD and Indian. But I'm sure there will be some out there where it won't work. For later made triumphs that come equipped led signals already, they work without even requiring an equalizer. You just have to determine which flash mode you need during a key on while holding the information button.

And now that I think about this a bit more, the adapters are still going to be resistor based. Can bus requires a set restinace across the network to properly communicate. The signals i doubt would be smart devices in which they actually send out a signal to a BCU. If that ever happens, that will be a sad day as a replacement would get pricey. Rather, the BCU would see a loss in load across the circuit, and then flag a fault, etc.. loading the circuit correctly to trick the BCU is what you would need. Im assuming that the trimmable parameter within the setup of the Triumph ecu allows for some variance depending on the mode selected.

A guy had an Indian ftr1200 mounted these lights and got them to work for 9 months then the computer went bad and they wouldn’t fix it under warranty, the more I’ve been reading about this I decided it’s not worth it I’ll just keep my stock lights

@@jamespolucha6911 I would be suspect that the lights caused an ECU to go bad. They are just lights. The only way I could link that is if there was a short that fed into the ECU somehow from a mishap in wiring. Then when the turn signal was energized, feeding back into the ecu and frying it internally. The only way they would be able to determine that is by verifying the wiring or have the ecu sent to the supplier for analysis to understand the failure. I would definitely like to read the article where you found that. I've worked in the automotive industry my entire career as an engineer and haven't seen or heard anything like that. Won't say its possible and I always like to learn more :) Perhaps the motorcycle world does something goofy I'm not aware of.

On a CAN BUS system there is no hot and ground like on typical 12 volts it’s all fed threw a computer, I’ve been reading a lot about this BMW has had it for sometime and apparently the new Indians do also I think my model ha 3 computers and the salesman told me if I’m not riding the bike for a week or so to keep it on a battery tender so it won’t go dead or loose its language, kind of complicated

Yep!

As they are now, no. You would have to modify the wiring in order to achieve this. However, im fairly confident they have other products that achieve this.

Hey supermotojak, sorry I missed this comment! I used liquid electric sealer on the backside of the wiring exiting the signal.

@@weekendmotorcycleguy3229 All good. Thanks for replying.

Jeff, im sorry for missing this and you likely have already done something to your bike for the turn signals. But if not, yes, there are adapters. Look at A&J Cycles from New York. They have the adapters and feel free to send them a note. They will help answer specific questions for ya!

@@weekendmotorcycleguy3229 Yes, I got the Kellerman Atto's but I haven't mounted them yet, I've looked all over the internet for a way to mount them and I haven't been able to find anything. Every hollow bolt that I've found for mounting are too short and are for Harley's without the back rest installed. I'll try the place you speak of and see if they can help me, thanks...

Deco Comprehension! Sorry for not seeing this! Yes, I didn't want to cut the original wiring since its a limited edition bike. I had to find the mating connector to make it work.

Yes they are! Fantastic lights for sure

@@weekendmotorcycleguy3229 worth the money so far?

frances absolutely! I would recommend them.

Hey David! I have not noticed any difference in drag compared to when it was stock. No additional lubrication was needed. As far as the levers, they are Brembo MCS models.

@@weekendmotorcycleguy3229 Thanks for the reply big guy. I'm waiting on those Ducati spacers as we speak. I'm putting those levers on my list as well.

Cotti - The bike doesn't have cruise control unfortunately. But if it did, I wouldn't see it interfering with the function of it. Regarding the riding modes, I have not seen or had it affect the different riding modes.
