Keysyrider Posted February 28, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 28, 2014 Because of the small tail light on the Venture I am looking for an LED bar that is large enough to mount on the trunk. Although I don't ride much at night I was also considering LED lights to replace all the existing lights. I use Gerbing heated clothing for those cold days so the reduced amperage will help a lot with LEDs. Does anyone know where I can purchase LED lights that are a reasonable cost. When I see $71 for a signal light I shy away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongobobny Posted February 28, 2014 Share #3 Posted February 28, 2014 Try trailer supply companies. I bought one a few years ago, the full function type, for $30. Spent another $20 on a 5 wire to 4 wire adapter, fabricated a couple of mounting brackets, and it was a done deal! Yes, one thing sorely lacking on the RSV is rear lighting...

M61A1MECH Posted February 28, 2014 Share #4 Posted February 28, 2014 Keysyrider, If you can wait a few days I am going to have two ready to go plug and play 15" light bars ready for sale. These are the light bars fro R&P Carriages see link below. for light bar. This will be set up wiyh a plug and play harness that plugs in under the seat and also a plug in harness to the light bar. It will be set up with diodes so you will get 3 lights on for running , 8 on for brake and then the 8 ae split into 2 banks of 4 one fo left blinker and one for right blinker. I do not have a solid price yet but should be around $40.00 US plus frieght. I hope to hve all the parts and one assembled b the weekend that way once I know all the hardware costs I can get a firm price figured out. If you want my set up and still want to add more additional lights I can configure the harness with "tag" wires for run/brake and L&R turn signals also for just a few dollars more. http://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-MADE-TecNiq-Red-Clear-HI-Mount-Center-ID-Bar-11-LED-Stop-Light-Trailer-Truck-/370789237230?pt=Motors_RV_Trailer_Camper_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item5654c2c1ee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keysyrider Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted February 28, 2014 That looks like exactly what I want and being plug and play for my Venture is a bonus. Let me know when you have a price and we can talk about delivery etc. My email is keysyrider@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted March 1, 2014 Share #6 Posted March 1, 2014 OK sounds like a plan, I will a price soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotta68 Posted March 1, 2014 Share #7 Posted March 1, 2014 Hey M6, I bought 1 of these last season but never got it on, any chance of swapping for a finished 1 minus the cost of the light bar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted March 1, 2014 Share #8 Posted March 1, 2014 You have a light bar, that you never installed? Does it have 3 wire or 4 wires? If it is a 4 wire, I could build everthing less the light bar, send it to you you could solder on the leads to the light your self and save so dough. I would need to work up a price for the harness with diodes and 6 foot harness hook up to the light bar. Email me at stevemarilyn@hotmail.com, we can talk.

scotta68 Posted March 1, 2014 Share #9 Posted March 1, 2014 That works too ! I think it's 4 wire but is out in the garage and will look tomorrow and get back to you, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted March 1, 2014 Share #10 Posted March 1, 2014 If it is not a 4 wire my diode set up will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted March 2, 2014 Share #11 Posted March 2, 2014 Plug & play on a 2006 RSV too? I think I might be interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted March 2, 2014 Share #12 Posted March 2, 2014 Plug and play for any Royal Star Venture from 99 to 2013. I have one more set made up, I shipped the first one to Keysrider yesterday. It is $47.00 plus shipping, to NY it was $7.00, expect all lower 48 to be similar, if you want the extra 5 tag wires for adding trailer hook up or more lights later that is $5.00 more.

Mad Dog Posted March 2, 2014 Share #13 Posted March 2, 2014 And it's looks like the one on the eBay ad? Can someone new to this bike get this installed themselves? How does it mount? Do you take PayPal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M61A1MECH Posted March 2, 2014 Share #15 Posted March 2, 2014 Mad Dog , It is just like the one in the link I posted in reply #4 of this thread, but I have added the harness with connectors and supply the mounting hardware.

djh3 Posted March 3, 2014 Share #18 Posted March 3, 2014 Wow Steve looks like they like those as much as the By-pass relay set up I'm making. LOL Good luck with it. The plug and play is just such a much nicer way to do things. Plus I HATE Scotch locs. They serve a purpose, but I have chased so many ugly eletrical issue because of them things UGH. It is a nice piece your making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resend your email with mailing address to stevemarilyn@hotmail.com , let me know if you want the 5 tag wires or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredgolfer Posted March 6, 2014 Share #20 Posted March 6, 2014 My 2007 Venture has a plug for trailer lights, can I use the TecNiq light bar and connect to the plug ? Retiredgolfer Winter Haven, Fl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted March 6, 2014 Share #21 Posted March 6, 2014 Yes, but if the trailer wiring is set up for a 5 wire system you will have to choose to use the left and right segments as brake or turn signals. If the trailer wiring is set up for 5 wire system then you should be able to use the left and right segments as turns and brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredgolfer Posted March 6, 2014 Share #22 Posted March 6, 2014 It is set up for (4) wire. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Venture Posted March 13, 2014 Share #25 Posted March 13, 2014 I just bought an 87 Venture. We were wondering if there are any kits to light up the reflector bands across the back of the bike? I think they are reflector bars, haven't looked really close yet. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
