LED vendors

[Wazoo]

So I'm ready to light up the new Rt. My old spyder was a bit of a mash up from several vendors but I want to do it smart this time around. So opinions? TricLED? Custom Dynamics? Some other vendor? I'm electrically challenged so bear in mind I'm going to have to pay for installation (and find a good installer). I'm leaning to Custom Dynamics as they will be at Bike week (which I am attending) and hoping they do installations there. All thoughts are welcome.

TricLed...once I got past sticker shock for most all products for Spyders (similar to HD, but I come from the mass world of metric motorcycling), I found TricLed products top notch and everything that's advertised. I installed it all myself with less than average hassle. Great instructions and a bonus that others here generously answer questions and give advice on the process.

I highly recommend all their products...to the point I just ordered their newest product, LED head & fog light bulbs for my '14 RT-L

My first advice is ensure your power (AMP) use is not more than you produce. Good luck

You should consider Custom Dynamics for the HMT brake light. TricLED has top notch lights for everywhere else.

That's a fair way to look at it... :clap: :thumbup:

You have an installer not too far from you in Melbourne, FL - SpyderLyter Fred. He uses mostly TricLED lights but I'm sure he'd install whatever you want. TricLED is in south Florida, again not too far from you.

My preference is for TricLED as they stand behind their products. I have had one or two issues with Custom Dynamics and it wasn't easy getting them to replace faulty products. That said, their HMT brake light is great and I have never had a problem with one.

TricLED has the "safety package" that includes front fender lights and rear saddlebag lights and it is priced very nicely. You can also add the turn signal module to that. Another must have from them are the mirror turn signal lights.

I agree. I am starting with the HMT-INT from Custom Dynamics and also doing the Fender SafetyZ from TricLED (I like them better than the CD ones because they maintain the reflector). Haven't researched the rest yet but I imagine I will go with best of breed from either.

I prefer Tric-Led my self.

I have ordered from them and got the "Amber/Red Fender LED'S with Safety Reflector Design" and had a dealer do the install, Here is are picture's of LED"S on my 2014RTS-SE6

Rear side saddle bag ( Red)

and bought several other items from TRIC-LED ( resister, Spyder Pockets, Front Trunk Organizer, Spyder Dash bags, etc. ) Awesome service, they get the product's quickly to you( by mail) they work with you. Great prices + products.

I have also bought from Spyderpops( Harvey) Awesome service, and he also gets the products to you quickly. Deanna

I would also inquire about maybe having Kenny Butler at CFPS do the install. He is currently lighting up his 2016 F3T?.

Rather than deal with a mad rush install at Daytona, might be better to let time provide some quality. Not saying it would be a bad or poor workmanship install at Daytona, but why risk it. It's not as if it is installing a seat, windscreen or backrest. Bit more work.

I'm guessing CFPS is Central Florida Powersports. I just checked their website--there's no Kenny Butler listed in their service dept.

After dealing with both, I can say that TricLED has great service / support, so I would reccomend them over Custom Dynamics (if they sell what your looking for)

Have to agree with Bob or all Specialty LED's TricLED's is my choice with great customer support, however if your looking at just LED's or mini Strip LED's take a look at Oznium that is were I got all my mini strips they too will stand behind their products and have replaced free of charge some of the strips that I purchased.

My latest add-on.

This is the answer you seek!

HMT Brake light

Why is Custom Dynamics HMT Brake Light viewed as better than the one sold by TricLED?

if you look them up, the CD product is bigger, fancier, and fits perfectly in the space at top of the trunk plus I think it has some chrome; it optionally can have amber turn signal led's at the ends...the tricled is smaller.

I like the tricled for my machine

This looks like the brake light feature where the whole system shines red when you apply the breaks.

Sorry Bob, I miss spelled a word

 

[AY4B]

Anyone try putting an LED whip on their Spyder like this?

I got my XK Chrome kit last friday. I'm still in the planning on what im going to do with it. The contol module will go well in the frunk. From there I will start stringing lights from front to rear. It has 2 zones Ill do one zone as under lights and the rest will be zone 2.
