GL1800 Kuryakyn LED Rear Reflector Conversion

Very easy put on and plug n play.

I'm a coward when it comes to tapping into the electrical system of my (relatively) new Wing, so I had the dealer install this at the same time they installed the Kuryakyn lighted lower saddle bag trim. I was pleased with both, but I was really surprised how bright the reflector replacement was & how nice it looks. I have it as a running light & brake light & it works well as both - including the tie in with my brake light modulator. I also have the Kuryakyn saddle bag & trunk LEDs and I'm quickly becomming a fan of the Kuryakyn products.

I love this reflector. The fact that it's a running light as well as a break light is a big plus and it works very well at both. A couple of things in the instructions may cause you a little extra work though. It says to remove the licence plate to access the 5th fender mounting bolt. My bike is a 2008 and the fender is held on by only 4 bolts (1 in each corner) The only thing behind my licence plate is a rubber bumper so removing the plate was uncalled for. There is a little tab on the back of the stock reflector that locks into a hole in the fender next to the mounting stud to keep it aligned properly. The instructions say to expand this hole with a 7/32" drill bit so the shielded wire strand on the new reflector will feed through more easily. I had to use a 1/4" drill bit and still needed to spray silicone on the wire strand to keep it from binding up while feeding it through. I think this reflector should have utilized a tab in the same location as the OEM reflector to keep it aligned and put the wire feed on the other side. That would mean drilling a new hole but it would be a more professional mounting approach. What can you do? It's like the guys that design this stuff live on a different planet then the guys who take the photos who live on a different planet than the guys that write up the instructions!

The LED Rear Reflector is very bright and really adds to the rear of the bike. Works as a running light as well as a brake light. Simple to install. Check out my photo gallery to see its contribution to looks and safety.

Look good. No problem encountered. Adds to chrome look and safety lights. Simply to install and no excuse not to add this item to your bike.
