did a similar mod on my big Kawasaki, bought a spare set of factory front blinkers , mounted them in the rear , tapped into the brake light power , changed the lenses to red , it's a shame i never get to see them in use but riders behind me like them.

<><><><><> <><><><><> Mark, Isn't it a bit more complicated than that??? I think you'd also have to change the bulb socket and wiring to provide power for the tail light function. Not impossible by any means but not as easy as just changing the bulb. Maybe I didn't understand the modification in your post.

There has to be more to it, at least on the Gen 2 bikes. I just looked at mine, and there's just one contact in the socket. Ryan Phoenix, AZ Jeff Saline wrote:

Hey Jeff Ya I just stated the basic. I figured anyone interested would look it up on Big Cee, Forgetting that NON regular "wrencher's" may try just switching the bulb. To all Look at the "Link" first to see if you have the "skills or friends to help. (A mig or tig welder may be needed, or a car scrap yard.) Thats Jeff.
