Here is my MOABL - Mother of all Brake Lights.

I have about 50 pics of the install and will put together a "how-to" in the Tech Forum.

I can see them on IE, Firefox, Google Chrome and i-Phone.  Don't know why they wouldn't come out for some.  I made a MOABL folder in my gallery so maybe they will show up there. 

Super easy mod.  If you can take your seat off, you can do this.

DJ,

To tell you the truth, I had you in mind when I took the pictures and put together the tutorial.  I tried to think of every question you would have asked if it was your first time doing something like this.  I majored in Phys Ed at the U of A so I need lots of pictures and short words.  Don't mean to sound like I'm talking down to anybody but I really wanted it to come across as a totally doable project for anyone who wanted to try.  Having that brake light up at eye level to the drivers behind me has been my #1 safety concern and I wanted to offer a universal fix.

It might just be my imagination but I seem to get more than the usual number of thumbs-up from drivers next to me at stop lights these days.

You're gonna love it.

Man314 -

Most excellent that you pulled this off that fast!  I have been poking around customdynamics.com for several years now and yesterday I found this:  http://www.customdynamics.com/posilock_connectors.htm  I had no idea they sold them also or I would have said so in the tutorial.  I'll make that change tonight in the write-up so that everything should be one stop shopping.  They are a great company to deal with and I have e-mailed a guy named Dave there and am going to send him pictures of this mod for them to show on their website.

Lojak - I don't have the Kuryakyn 4710 mod on my bike because I installed Muth mirrors with LEDs built into the glass.  Buddahead has a good pic of them in this thread: http://www.vision-riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=4785&start=1&posts=5  My main goal with the 99 LED mod was to make it as simple as possible to install and if anyone wants to add to it or modify it to fit their personal needs, they can.

I look forward to feedback from more guys who install this mod.  I wish I could follow myself around at night to see it in action.  Just to give you an idea of how bright these LEDs are:  The bike was parked in the garage the other night (next to the '69 Baja) and my youngest daughter hadn't seen the lights in action yet.  I took her out and had her stand at the far edge of the driveway, about 20' from the bike.  When I squeezed the brake handle the lights actually cast a very distinct shadow of her on the wall of the house next door.  I would say that wall was about 25-30' away from the bike and it was totally washed in red except for my daughters shadow.  Unbelievable.

vvt,

Glad you're going for it.  It's such a simple mod that can make a huge difference in my opinion.

I have to laugh at what Custom Dynamics must be thinking with just one string of red LEDs being ordered.  They actually built that 99 LED strip to be mounted under big fenders and on cars/trikes.  The Vision trunk is the ultimate platform because the gap is just perfect and they are all but invisible when not on.  Plus, the way the LEDs follow the curves of the trunk is just cool, I don't care who you are.

I literally spent 2 years trying to figure out the best way to put a brake light on that trunk.  I even spent $50 on a brand new chrome trunk piece with the VICTORY on it to see if I could cut out the letters and backlight them as running/brake lights.  (I'm still mulling that over and haven't cut the piece yet.) A couple of guys have put other Stingerz in that gap (usually with a Kuryakyn 4170 to make it running/brake/turn signal) so I knew they would fit.  When the 99s came out I originally looked at putting them in the lower edge of the saddle bags, ala TimS http://www.vision-riders.com/bb/photos/show-album.asp?albumid=56&photoid=1880 .  (That is still one of the coolest looks of all time.)  I finally noticed the long wire on the 99s and it occurred to me that they would probably reach all the way to the wire bundle without having to add any more wiring.  Within minutes of that revelation I ordered the Stingerz and the rest is history.
