I looked at it the other night and seen the mount was part of the pillion. I'll see what I can cob together and spray paint black! LOL! Thanks! If you take off the front wheel reflector bracket you can cut those in half and use them as a bracket Edited August 27, 2018 by shawn724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigturbomax Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I finally got rid of my giant jeep style driving lights and installed some equally bright, but much cleaner looking mini spots 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigturbomax Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I also started working on my tail tidy. Hopefully looks nice with the saddle bags back on. I bought some oxford mini pumpkins also, but im debating leaving them off. What are yalls guys thoughts? If got blinkers built into the tst tail light of course. Would you guys run redundant blinkers or just use the ones in the tail light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigturbomax Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 These are the mini pumpkins compared to stock. Wire em in or leave em off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like as much visual presence as possible for the cages behind me. It gives more distance for the visually impaired... All in one looks beautiful but not as safe. Also check your state laws. Some require minimum distances between tail and turn signals. Edited August 28, 2018 by mick97702 Added pictures 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
208MT07 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Technically happened Sunday night, but finally got around to installing my TRex spool adapters after having them for about 3.5 months . They kinda got shuffled under some things in the garage and I forgot about them. Made the chain cleaning I did today 100x easier having the bike up on a stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the time of year it's nice to have some extra light if you go for a late evening ride. What brand are the tube mounts you use? Looks like a good location for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are cheap universal 1.25 in aluminum light mounts off amazon. I think theyre meant to mount on a roll bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMT07 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Figured I'd try to mount some front TST flushmount signals to the rear while I wait for the '18 integrated brake light. I switched sides on my Yoshi FE signal brackets and came up with this (see pics). When the integrated light light comes in I'll most likely keep these for increased visibility. 2 Instagram: @jayparrington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emperor_Wurm Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Haven't done anything, but I did order an Ebay "windscreen", TST integrated tail light, fender eliminator and flush mount signals. Can't wait. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator sorkyah Posted August 28, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2018 took her for a quick 35 mile spin. nearly got hit by no less than 8 cars, 3 of which were prius' and the others were wither mercs or bmw's. why cant the US make driving school mandatory at a federal level for everyone getting their driver license. i think motorcyclists should have the 'ability' to fire marking paint at someone that has hit them or come damned close. then report that and a description of the car. idk... im just sick of having to act like a hooligan just to avoid dying. 4 ATGATT...

I feel your pain but if you think about it, most people do at least 12 years of school and there are some that still can't talk or write right. A couple weeks of driving school surely isn't going to make them drive right. Just ask Ron White about that. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were actually building a house in Red Rock (near eloy) definitely looking forward to that. If you ever happen to be down this way, feel free to get in touch.

TST has had the 2018 integrated tail light available for about a week now *edit* sorry read your post wrong. I see you had ordered it and is waiting for it to come in Edited August 29, 2018 by shawn724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
