the zip ties on the lens are just until the glue dries.

funny when I mentioned doing this for people MONTHS ago, nobody was interested.

pssh.

$175 is ridiculous. For that much you can do it yourself, mess up, have to buy a new Factory tail light, and its still cheaper.

I was thinking like $100.

So clar2001....let me get this right. The R-1 cover fits the stock lamp exactly? If so, that's great. That will save me some $!!

Thats correct exact fit. the r-1 feabay cover was harder to revove I ended up cutting and breaking it off but that dident matter , the stock cover I baked @ 110 for 7 min, and with some force it poped right off.
The only difference is the color code on the wirring but its plug and play same harrness.
The brittness and turn signals are great it's so nice to have it all in one.
I did not like the rounded r-1 cover.
In the pic of the feabay light its looks a little rought around the edges I used a dremmil but that melted the plastic a little, but it cleaned up nice with a file.

So with the signal stabilizer the blinkers are at a normal speed right?
Also a link to the signal stabilizer you'd recommend would be cool

Really need to pull the trigger on this, but I'm not to good in the kitchen.......

looks like this one would work without changing the lens , would only half to splice in the wirring harrness. and the lens is not pointing out rounded.

Throw away the stock plastic housing,then using the stock mounting holes on the medal plate/bracket I mounted the taillight to that up side down,so the light screws to the medal plate cut down to only protect the light from road debree and 2 L brackets to hold it in place on the side stock bolt holes on the fender.
Basicly I layed the fender upside down on a towl and then fiquired out how I wanted the taillight to set then just modified the plate and L brackets to fit.

I tryed to take pics but its all black and does not photo well.

No if you read back in this thread a little you will ses I used the stock lens and the one for a R-1 2003 I think it was , I did purchase the kawaski one just to have it on hand. It has the same mounting holes the lens is just a little differnt on the corners and you would need to splice the wirring harrness.

so to re-cap for the slow folks like myself... that Kawasaki light fits the Stryker without any other mods? then the yellow wires are for the turn signal and the others power the brake function? (or vice versa?)
