Slingmods Reflectors with Sequential LED Turn Signals & Running Lights
Ordered mine yesterday (including rear facing red). I've been reviewing installation instructions and videos. It looks pretty straightforward albeit tedious. Anyone have any tips not in the videos? Thanks!

Your observation is pretty accurate..."straightforward albeit tedious." Working on the fender while tethered to the bike was a pain...so I completely unplugged it and removed it, that helped some. Definitely need to protect the glossy black paint of the A-arms as it's almost impossible to maneuver the fenders without making contact.

Those are not Slingmods Sequential Lights. Those are made by TricLed.
They look great when you get them installed.

Was looking at those, but not all that sure about the sideways sequential thing. I'd prefer a solid flashing blinker. Less confusing for other drivers I'd think (Is he signalling he's going forward, or backing up?).
Also be nice to have a wiring harness for just the red lights.

Good tips here. I’ll add that I taped a towel to the A ams for protection and there’s a zip tie to cut at the very bottom of the fender. Also, when removing the existing directional, the front of the fender has to bent downwards pretty hard to get it UN clipped.
Good luck

Take the fender off. Place on towel and sit at a table and work on them. Lots of patience needed for routing the wires so they fit nicely. I highly recommend adding some clear silicone where the wires go into the lights and also around the perimeter near the double tape to seal them from water.

I tried hooking them up as brake lights. I applied a constant 12v to test and they started flashing! Built in flashers! I suppose because they're LED, if they didn't have their own built in flashers, they'd cause a hyperflash?

light.jpglight 2.jpg the bottom of the front light has to be pried the whole way out. i used a putty knife to keep it out. then there are tabs on both sides of the light about where the bend is. the fender needs pried out until they pop out. once i got it started to come out i used the putty knife in the groove at the top and tapped it out. i just finished two rykers. first fender took 6-8 hours, last one about 3light 3.jpglight 4.jpg if you cut the wheel you can get the mounting bracket over the tie rod. i used zip ties through mounting holes to keep it in place. i tried the keep the sensor wire slack

there are a couple youtube videos, search ryker fender lights. i don't think you need the shrink tube because they changed the splitter end. the new end goes over the red rubber seals. if you watch the slingmods video the end is different. plug.jpg
