NE Florida Jacksonville | Hello Adolfo, I'm glad to see you installed the lighted Victory chrome trim on the tour pack. I did the same thing and it looks great. I also added red LED's to the tour pack lid while I had it apart and routed the wires along the wiring loom on the right side. They are tied in to the brake lights and help wake up people behind me when I stop or slow down. Hope things in Spain are beginning to improve.  |

It is added to the trunk wire harness under the seat it allows the trunk marker lights to act as turn signals,marker lights and brake lights.
The Victory Trunk Badge can then be a brake light as well ,it will only light up when brakes are used.

Quad Cities, IL | I just ordered my lighted Victory Trunk trim piece yesterday. I don't have the Tri-Star but do have the similar Kuryakyn 4710 Run/Turn/Brake Modulator hooked upto the Trunk lights. Has anyone tied this lighted trunk badge into the Kuryakyn 4710? If so:
1) Does it stay lit as a running light?
2) Does it activate as a brake light with the three pulses?
3) Does it blink when a turn signal is on, or stay lit as a running light when the signal is on?
I plan to tie mine into the 4710 module but not sure how it will act.
Thanks! |

I almost put the Kuryakyn on my 08 but read that people were having cruise control issues. The Tri-Star XP does not cause the pulsing that seems to mess with the Victory electronics,
My cruise control on my 2011 is unaffected by the Tri-star

Michigan | I have mine on order and I am just waiting for it to arrive. I plan to have it just be on all the time for now. I think I will consider a module later if it allows the badge to remain illuminated. |

I know that some have had cruise-control issues with using LEDs replacement bulbs for the stock bulbs, but I didn't know about issues when using the Kuryakn module. At least, I know I have not had any cruise-control issues.
Thanks for the input though.

Michigan | Mine arrived today and took the 45 minutes they said it would to install it. Of course this did include the time it takes to read the directions first and take my picture at the end. It looks better than this poor picture shows. Super cool.

Albuquerque, NM | Installed mine today. If you have the trunk mirror installed, no way it'll take only 45 min. Anyone planning on adding a mirror to you vision, use velcro or hinges (as someone suggested). This is the third time I've had to remove mine. (trunk rack, 4710 controller, lighted emblem) I am going to have a glass shop cut me a new one. The reflective film on the back was damaged by the fishing line.
The fitment isn't that great as mentioned earlier. The emblem doesn't have enough curvature so be careful when attaching the three screws. You have to bend it to install one of the end screws. The area below the "T" slopes inward and does not align vertically with the bottom part of the trunk. Guess that's why it was only $99.

i was wondering about this.. i have the 99 leds as well and they are SUPER bright!! i thought if i got the lighted victory trunk light i would just leave it on all the time since it looks likea candle compare to a flash light.. lol

Monrovia, Ca | Blister, the only dealer in So. Cal that STOCKS the darn piece is Brea. The rest want to order it. How the heck can they sell accessories to the impulsive if they don't have them. Just plain dumb!!! In case you are wondering, Brea was out of stock. Had sold 4-5 of them last week. They plan on getting restocked later this week. |

I told me dealer something like that.. they told me they could order me anything.. i said well so can i on line... and probably for Less money than buying it from you.. i said but im actually willing to pay list price for a accessory IF i was able to get it the same day. If not im going online.. then i dont have to make another trip to pick it up later.... just saying |

Great point Chris. I saw the trunk light kit in my dealer the other day, and guess what......I bought it .... looks pretty schmick. I had no intention of going online to order it, but seeing it in the store, I thought "what the heck" ?.....
While I was there I also got him to check for a Vision passenger backrest from the other Aussie dealers in case one had slipped through the cracks out here in the backwaters..... bugger..... no luck

Interesting that with the brakes applied, the turn signals on the trunk don't work ???

| The lights look great on all the bikes.
Side note. People have mentioned putting the mirror on a hinge and that sounds good but I also thought of adding a piece of felt or other soft material to protect it maybe have a Velcro piece at the top? My first one got damaged from stuff bouncing in my trunk. |

Yellowknife, NT Canada | I have the 4710 installed in my Vision trunk and it only operates the two running lamps there. I connected it through the isolator used to connect my trailer wiring and my Muth signal mirrors. I also used an IBF4 from http://www.comagination.com/bflasher.htm. This flashes the trailer and and trunk lights in unison. I have had no issues with my cruise control. In my installation the 4710 brake output is not used so I could use this to operate the lighted badge. |

Cranston, RI United States | Good Morning, I am new to the forum and love the advice given. I too have installed the lighted trunk emblem, however, my dealer said the marker lights on the trunk could not be setup as R, T, B. I see that you have used the Tri-Star XP Module. I looked it up and it says to use the Dual Load Equalizer if the bike doesn't have a variable load turn signal flasher. Can anyone tell me if the equalizer is needed?
Thanks!! |
