Yup! That's it..."high impact polystyrene." Similar to ABS plastic... Don't know if TAP will mail something...looks like all their CA stores are in NorCal...you could call one from their website number and ask about a small piece being mailed. The stuff is cheap...the trick is finding a small piece, I guess.
Got the signals in and wired, realy low profile, shouldn't snag anything. I didn't realize our signals were incandecent..... these are LED so i'll probably add a resistor to slow them down. Will post pictures later...
+1 That does look pretty slick. Nice find RDTCU! Though I sure as hell couldn't get away with where he put his plate.
In my defense, my plate is plainly visible from behind at car-eye level... but i don't have a plate light.
I thought there was a TAP in Kerney Mesa.... No, it's Ridout... Try them... http://www.eplastics.com/
I'm interested in the resistor needed to slow down the LED flashing rate. Would a resistor have to be placed in series with each rear LED turn signal? What value resistor?
Yes, not sure of the value, but should be about equal to whatever the difference is in resistance between the LED light and the original. Use a multimeter, measure the original resistance then measure the LED resistance. The difference is roughly the required resistance for an identical blink rate. Blinker resistors are abundant on Ebay, or wire your own from Radio Shack. There are a few options out there for adjustable-rate blinker relays, but I haven't found any to fit the Husky socket... Another option is to disassemble the factory blinker relay and replace the resistor with a pot of higher resistance, that way you can adjust the blink rate yourself.
You can also change the flasher relay to an electronic one, it doesn't use bulb resistance to regulate blink rate, there is a small circuit board within.
And how did you get that stupid "this passes Canadian spark blah blah blah" sticker off that is right above the husky sticker? If I try and peel it off it just breaks off tiny piece by tiny piece at a time. I saw another 630 that was in for service at the dealer and I could see the owner of that bike had also given up in frustration due to his half chipped off sticker
I looked and thought about it, you would need a stalk light or some sort of spacer to get it out past the headlight fairing. Also, you would need more 2.2 ohm resistors, I still haven't done my rears to slow them down.
