catman_4_ever Posted April 26, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 26, 2010 Just installed the S.O.M.A. light bar part# SBRLK. The light bar is on sale now for $44.95. I live close enough so I just took a ride to pick it up. One hour to install. It really lights up the back of the bike. Good riding to all Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumboogy Posted April 26, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 26, 2010 Is that the same as this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Royal-Star-Venture-LED-Brake-Running-Light-Bar_W0QQitemZ230448558047QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotorcycles_Parts_Accessories?hash=item35a7cdefdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman_4_ever Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted April 26, 2010 Yes. You do not need to buy the Venture specific model. The basic one comes with all the mounting hardware...just remove the legs. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamaman Posted April 26, 2010 Share #6 Posted April 26, 2010 http://www.rivcoproducts.com/products/search.php?mode=search&page=1 Thanks. I've not seen this particular light before. Its looks really nice, plus I like the idea of putting it up higher on top of the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave I don't think they are the same light. The R-mark one on ebay looks like it only has 11 bulbs and doesn't look like you could mount it on the trunk. The Rivco light appears to have 24 (smaller?) bulbs. I like it a lot better, and much cheaper too with the sale price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman_4_ever Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted April 26, 2010 It does not mount very well on the top of the trunk. The trunk is too narrow for the legs. Behind the helmet holders seems to be the best place. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumboogy Posted April 26, 2010 Share #9 Posted April 26, 2010 OK...great. Well, when of you mount this light...please post both your impressions of this light and also any problems with the installation. Thanks, Wally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOO Posted April 26, 2010 Share #12 Posted April 26, 2010 Rivco is a great company. If you are close enough to drive over there they will install while you wait at no charge. I hope they are still doing that anyway... BOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithR Posted April 26, 2010 Share #13 Posted April 26, 2010 I installed the light from Rivco a few years ago.....nice looks good...easy to install. Not quite as red as the pic shows. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycatt Posted April 27, 2010 Share #14 Posted April 27, 2010 The Venture that I bought last fall has the S.O.M.A. light on it, so I have no idea how old that light assembly is. That being said, about half of the LED's were out, so I contacted Rivco to see if they had any type of warranty on their LED's. No dice. So, I pulled the housing apart and cut the end of the LED strip until I had 14 good LED's. Then I centered the strip in the housing and used silicone to fix everything in place. I would not buy another one. It seems like the LED strip should last almost indefinitely if it was a quality unit. That and on mine you can wire for either running lights or brake, but not both. I may try the one from R MARK on ebay. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumboogy Posted April 27, 2010 Share #15 Posted April 27, 2010 OK...I just bought the R-Mark light set too. I even bought the brake light that blinks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Royal-Star-Venture-LED-Brake-Running-Light-Bar_W0QQitemZ230448558047QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotorcycles_Parts_Accessories?hash=item35a7cdefdf I'll take pics when I do the install.

ArcsSparks Posted April 27, 2010 Share #17 Posted April 27, 2010 Those rivco light are nothing but wally-world specials (Platinum Burners) with "P"-clamps total value $57.00 they want $149.00 don't sound like a great company to me and for the price of the pegs might as well buy Kury not empressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
