• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Need Help Identifing LED Strip

During winterizing my brothers 2019 F3L, one of the cables on the SpyderPops side vent “stay on” running turn signal LED strips got snagged and no longer works. When I removed the LED strip and pealed back the heat resistant tape and shrink wrap, it was confirmed one of the leads popped off the LED pin. It actually tore off the pin and is no longer viable. I can shorten the length of the LED strip and reapply but instead would like to just replace it on my own.

The current LED strip has the three pin solder points and is identified as 12V (black) / no indicator (red) / Y-Y (yellow); [my guess 12V(+) / (-) / Data]. This is where It gets confusing. I don’t understand why there are three contact points on the LED strip if it only has one color, amber, and what does Y-Y mean? Would these LED’s be addressable on the bike’s CAM Bus and the amber color is programmed?

Believe yellow was turn signal

Thanks for the feedback @trikermutha. I did reach out to SpyderPops per @Bfromla suggestion. The vent and mirror LED strip are bridged together and then run to the fender connector where they receive the 12V power, stay-on, and turn signal signal. So I just have to find a three pin LED strip that's only shows amber.
 
Did you ask Spyder pops if they can send you one?

I did reachout to SpyderPops and he responded that he will warranty the LED strip. This was really great and I'll sync up with him but at sometime I would like to make my own. It's just a challenge finding a 3-pin amber LED strip.
