Can tou provide a new link for the flasher please? The one on the description is broken.
I just checked it and it’s working (?)
Cool
I've thoroughly reviewed your UA-cam channel and must say I enjoy your videos. However, there are some areas that need improvement, particularly in terms of SEO, ranking tags, and tag volume, which appear incomplete. Additionally, I've noticed a lack of engagement in the form of likes and comments on your videos. As a Freelancer with over 2 years of experience in UA-cam video SEO, I am Arafat Amin, and I'd be delighted to assist you in increasing engagement, including likes and comments. Let me help you enhance your UA-cam video SEO strategy for optimal results
great vid
They are so cute
Hey Ken that looks great, but would you mind sharing, how you connected that? Any instruction tips? Thank you
Hey Bill! I identified the brake and ground wire running to the tail/brake light under the seat, on the right rear. I stripped and cut the brake light wire (white with black stripe) and connected it to/from the flasher unit (as per included instructions) with a pair of Posi-Connects and tapped into the ground wire (Black with White stripe) using a Posi-Tap www.stromtrooper.com/threads/flashing-red-light-brake.441593/#post-5670931
St. Joe's Island makes for a beautiful day ride from where I live in Sudbury (about 3 hours west of me to the island). St. Jo's Diner and The Blackbear Cafe are popular lunch spots with the bikers. Cheers
Could you please show a photo where did you mount the flasher?
It is located under the seat and rearward of the battery on the right hand side. The OEM flasher is Black! live.staticflickr.com/65535/52525506706_379644f04b_b.jpg
@@KeninPen thanks for quick reply. One more question...what is the cause for the behaviour on the dashboard for the turn signal? Is it possible to have LED turn signal bulbs and also correct behaviour for the flashing onethe dashboard?
Which bulbs did you use? Where did you get them ?
@@jrflorenanoutpl They are listed in the video description
@@O6O3 these are the wrong bulbs,OEM lamps give a load to the relay and it sees the working lamp and everything is fine, but if you install a wrong LED lamp (in which there is already resistance inside so that the relay sees the load), the relay will see a small resistance and will not work correctly. When you buy such lamps , you need to read that they can be put INSTEAD !!!
Q
I see that your channel is very valuable. I would love to repost your whole channel, without changing anything, on the nice platform named Gan Jing World. If you agree with that, please let me know. Thanks!
Very nice. I've held off adding this becuase of the many mentions about the cruise control not working if hooked up with the primary brake lamp circuit, and to only hook it up to the tour pack brake lamp circuit. Does your cruise still work with this setup?
Yes, it works the same as stock. I was a little worried about that as well but everything works great
@@KeninPen Thanks for the reply, Ken. I have seen a few posts on The VOG etc mentioning having to install resistors to keep the cruise working. I am assuming you did not have to do this yourself. Cheers, Ken
@@TowerKenny I recall adding a couple of resistors from the previously installed trailer wiring harness, but I can't recall if it was for the Kuryakyn Sabre Lights, or the additional LED lights I added to the lowers and floorboards as running and turn signals - sorry ua-cam.com/video/N_zna6mbd5o/v-deo.html
Thank you. Also did you have to let it steam first for 10 minutes out of the vent before adding weight. I might have messed up. I read the instructions and watched numerous videos. This video is straight to the point.
I wait at least 5 -8 minutes before adding the weight
With amps as low as that do you really need a controller?
mine wont spin or any thing ...the mettle spring is not stuck it moves freely ...any suggestions
Does it rock, or release any steam from under the weight? If not, it may not be hot enough(?)
@@KeninPen yeah it wasnt moving. I had to have the heat way higher than i thought. I should of done a trial run with water jars
How did you fit it on motorcycle? And do you recommend any case for it?
Seeing as TomTom uses a different sized ball, I bought a TomTom Ball Mount Adapter Plate from ProClip - www.proclipusa.com/product/tomtom-ball-mount-adapter-plate/tomtom-ball-mount-adapter-plate and a RAM Ball Adapter with AMPS Plate - www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-347U to fit the Ram mount on my bike. I also use/recommend a Glare Stomper to cut down any glare and helps to protect the GPS (located mostly behind my windscreen) from rain - www.glarestomper.com/324 Hope this helps
Which wire/ wires did you tap to power the unit. I’m planning on hooking my Tom Tom up soon Thanks
Where can I find more videos like these about the gl1500?? This is great
Great video...
Glad you enjoyed it
so with the jiggler together with all pieces like that will be 10 pounds? because i noticed mine came apart and didnt hoe what would be at 10 pounds
Hi Bob. Mine came with 3 weights/jigglers (5lb, 10lb, 15lb), which all look similar except for the size/diameter of their base. The narrowest base on is the 5lb one, the one pictured is the 10lb one and the 'fattest' one is the 15lb weight. Hope this helps you
thanks i saw a site that showed the type i have i was afraid to guess. appreciate your video. we have started times now when i think its in my best intrest to learn
thank you
You're welcome
How long did it take to jiggle?
About 5-7 minutes

Could you help me please? For as long as I can remember, I have known some words from a funny song by Mainline. I was only 5 years old at the time and stared at the cover because the musicians were purple. But, there was this one song I would sing for my friends, because we all thought it was hilarious t our young mind. The words go, "Picking my nose in my Sunday clothes" or another verse(?) that went, "My pants suddenly split, I almost shit". those are the only words I remember. Today was the first time in awhile to think of that song, and was delighted when i thought I saw tha album cover. Any idea? I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you.
Sorry, just saw this now. That song would be I Am Normal, off the same album ua-cam.com/video/yISlc0cvsQ8/v-deo.html
Thank you for the useful review
No problem 👍
Do you first have to switch the contact on ?
Did you make a video of your installation? Just purchased a pair for my 2015 XCT. I also purchased some LED running lights to install. The more you can be seen while riding the better! Looking good! Tire side down my man!
Aaron Dickey - They should have come with instructions, unless you got the newer Chinese ones. Regardless, fairly easy to install. Witchdoctors shows the basic install - ua-cam.com/video/8mt0dEqhwRc/v-deo.html
I also installed a brake light modulator/flasher that adds even more road presence to the bike. Little more involved to get them all flashing!! - ua-cam.com/video/lfcDeVeEqcU/v-deo.html
Up there u need to make some of them tanning bed bulbs.
Keep up the spectacular job !! Lovin' it!
Is that the HF 1500lb 110v ac winch?
Where did ya get it?
440/880 lb 110v ac winch sold by Princess Auto, which is the CDN version of HF. Same thing, different colour paint
Could you please tell me what you had to do to make this work? Would love to get all of mine to work like this.

Thanks for the insight Ken!
That doesn't look like a sewing machine
More than 1 type of Bobbin, Ric!
We could use some of that rain around here.....
May I ask which wires did you use for the light power? The 2 pin connector or the 2 single wires, behind the backrest?
I tapped into the 2 single wires under the backrest. One is black (ground) and I forget what the other wire colour was, but that was what I tapped into and then drilled a hole through the trunk by the upper part of the speaker enclosure to feed the wires into the trunk
hey where is the switch wire red 2 pin connector
❤️❤️❤️
You captured the 'spirit' of this place. Like the choice of music too.
Nice shot.......
That was interesting,,,,,,,looked pretty remote.
We were the only ones there during the 20 minutes or so that we stopped there, but it's not as remote as over on 14 A, AKA The Medicine Wheel Scenic Byway
a little music would be nice..
