LED brake light and Harley taillight conversion kit

[@gregorythomas333]

The box you added most likely drops the voltage to the lights for "running" (probably 6-9 volts) then allows full voltage for the turning/stopping functions. BTW: You can put the cat's food & water on the counter top to keep Breezy from getting into it. And a couple eyelets & a bungee cord in that corner will keep the trashcan up. I saw a bumper sticker with the Swedish Chef (from the Muppets) saying: Ferk Jer Berdin We ordered 20 of them :)

[@bctruck]

Ahhhhhh!!! I think you may be right! Reduced voltage would make the most sense. Jer berden is an ershurl.

[@GarryFishermusic]

Mr Brad , a vet once explained the food bowel thing ,is when any puppy eats from a cat or dog bowel other than his hers it’s a dominant thing who’s the boss thing he whom controls the food is the King of the mountain.

[@bctruck]

In this case I don’t think it’s dominance. He’s just a little pig that would eat all day if I let him.

[@TheWatchmanNews]

I have a sneaky suspicion tthat box uses PWM or Pulse Width Modulation to just increase the voltage enough to make it brighter. I am pretty sure doing it with PWM instead of just directly raising straight voltage will be easier on the bulbs.

[@bctruck]

Or,,, it’s magic.

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

It's just voltage regulation. Back when I was heavily into RC car racing, we used NiMH batteries that needed to be discharged after every use and we had custom built dischargers that used those bulbs. Those single filament bulbs have a very wide range of output depending on the voltage supplied. They're probably just at 10 volts for running lights then the full 12 for brakes or turn signals.

[@bctruck]

That’s got to be it. Or,,,,, it’s witchcraft!

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi BC, Charly and fur babies! What a difference the light upgrade made, hopefully now it will catch the attention of other drivers. Nice knife, turning it on the turntable it’s hypnotic. SC and Breezy are so funny playing together, glad Breezy doesn’t like paper towels, lol. Gas is outrageous, I’m going to stay home more myself. Take advantage of the weather while you can and enjoy. Have a blessed day and be safe.

[@bctruck]

Gonna ride the bikes today and pick up a conversion kit for my wife’s taillights.

[@ChiefAUS]

I enjoyed this video very much. Thanks for taking us along.

[@bctruck]

Thanks for watching!

ive never used duco cement on leather but ive used it on everything else under the sun. good stuff.

I’ll know if it will work for me when I finish the tube of barge I just opened.

[@jjudy5869]

Clay in the litter will clog up plumbing, don't ask how I know this. To keep our cat out of of the toilet bowl we just put the lid down. Amazon has cardboard scratch pads(our cat loves them) to give Kitty a place to sharpen her claws. Our cat, also, seems to be less inclined to do a lot of extra scratching if we trim his nails on a regular bases.

[@bctruck]

I’ve started keeping the lids down. I don’t think I’m brave enough to trim her daggers.

[@jjudy5869]

@@bctruck It is pretty easy; start by holding and rubbing her paws as she is purring and about to nod off. We roll our cat on his back to do the trimming. You may only get a few nails at a time in the beginning.

[@joshrivers5870]

I have the same tailight and love it

[@bctruck]

It sure does make folks see it.

[@russpeaknuckel9525]

Instead of spending $80 on that blinker kit, I was thinking I could just wire in new light sockets for them ...?

[@bctruck]

Great.

[@yoyoglock4]

Very cool! Those flash a lot faster than my cheapie bulbs I picked up. I wonder if fabricating a rounded top sheet metal hood over the towel roll would work? Or anything that would keep most of the roll covered while allowing you to easily grab one from underneath. Just a thought. Have a great day 😊

[@bctruck]

I hope they’ll be enough to distract texters from their phones for a minute.

[@yoyoglock4]

[@umarkedreturn8776]

Check your wife's bike front passing lamps. The left one is crooked and needed *clocked* into position to shine the same as the right side. I just checked today at HD and it's going to cost about 600.00 for LED's and the load sensor wiring harness. If you or anyone else has a cheaper way to put good LED's on a Roadking (I have a 2003) I'd like to hear about it. Thanks for the great video!

[@bctruck]

Thanks! I replaced all of her lights with LEDs and aimed the light at the same time.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Impressive difference the lights make. Even these old eyes can see how safety is muchly improved. Had to smile, as I listened to your pro/con on trading bikes. Recognize a kindred soul. You enjoy tinkering with stuff to make it better. If level one is OK, you'll find a reason to take it to level two. 😉 Doesn't matter if it's bikes, rocket stoves, hand dug wells, or adjusting the swing of a gate. Thought re-appeared with your glue discussion. Enjoy to the max, while you still can, my friend. On another note, unless you're using a special cat litter designed specifically for that purpose, please don't discard treasures in your toilet. It can clog plumbing lines over time. Please collecting in a plastic bag and put in your trash. Walmart has a 2.5 gal (if memory serves) trashcan with a step on lever to open it. Sounds like you've got some great weather in the next few days. Enjoy to the max! January is only a month away. Godspeed on your travels. God Bless.

[@bctruck]

Going to ride over to the Harley dealer in Longview today and pick up a conversion kit for Charlys bike. December January and Dey are typically months that are just to cold to enjoy riding. March the days start warming when the sun comes up.

[@djtexicano]

Could you please post link to where you got the taillight? Thanks?

[@GarryFishermusic]

Mr Brad , the reg bulbs are energetic burning it’s all due to the Flux Capacity x e = square x bacon . Blessings

[@bctruck]

Well I just added bacon so now they’re very bright!

[@Thewrightstuff777]

Breezy and SC have a cute relationship. When I saw Fat Boy LLC I didn’t realize I’d started a company…

[@bctruck]

They get along great until breezy gets tired of playing and the cat won’t stop.

[@dimestoreharry3344]

A rider recently came thru our small town and he had a light bar that was @3 ft. long . And I commented to my sister that you could really see him damn good because of that bar . It looked more like a cars tail lights . Good idea there !

[@bctruck]

for sure!!

[@454pakr]

Always a temptation that comes along involving MORE money outgoing. Hard to resist, but you hafta think TWICE and not jump in. You did it right. Perfect riding weather before hibernation begins. I haven't heard "DUCO" since my very young days building model airplanes. I have that Trump Tecmat.

[@bctruck]

Today was probably the last really warm day but it was gray and foggy all day.

[@NOFx420x]

Not gonna lie I wish I could have the same riding weather you have, but here in Washington cold and wet means it winter lol

[@bctruck]

I’m riding today and maybe tomorrow. December, January,and February are to cold to ride most days.

[@saltyshellback]

Ooohhh...I think I will put that blinking tail light on my Vespa...when I get one 😄

[@bctruck]

Two great ideas!!!

[@davidsaucedo717]

Where and how much did you buy the rear pulsating light?

So you don't load equalizer? Awesome looking bikes btw. Your wife's bike is way cool. That paint is classic. I got an 11 RKC. I wanna do exactly what you did. Thanks for the video.

[@tinman3505]

Sigh Exciting as it sounds with the "That burst" of Flashing it really sucks. It really happens so fast that no one really notices it al all. I know I have them. They suck. What they should program it to do is slow the flashing down and have it flash at least a minimum of 5 with a second or so in between each flash and then stay solid for 5 seconds and repeat again so long as the brake lever is still depressed. But since most companies if not all now days do not listen to their customers suggestions you might just do what I did bought a very nice LED tail light that is so bright that you can see it in the direct sunlight and installed an after market brake modular that you can set it to the desired flash that you want.

[@bctruck]

So,,,,,, what would possess you to watch a video of a brake light installation that you hate? Curious minds want to know.
