I bought this as a way to increase safety. Arrived quickly, nicely packaged.
Installation was not complicated, However:
The part doesn't actually fit correctly, the angle of the part is NOT the same as the physical angle of the trunk lid, this creates a 1/4" gap at each end between the lid and the light. I called Kuriyakin and spoke with them, the sent out a replacement, with EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM! I call them again and spoke with a rep who explained that the parts tend to change shape as the cool coming out of the injection mold machine. He claims this allows the part to twist or relax as it cools and leads to fitment issues. He did say I could try to heat the part with a heat gun and carefully place it against the lid to cool, and improve the fit No thank you, for $274.00, that should have already been done. They no longer make this part so only "new/old stock" exists and ALL of those are subject to this issue.
My advise, pass on this item. If it fit properly that would be great but they do not.
Really like the look and function but just not crazy about drilling holes in body parts. Also getting lid liner back in proper position was a little trying with wiring making the fit tighter.
I was looking for a rear light for more safety and did not want to put on a rack. This light was exactly what I was looking for. Fits the rear designed perfect. looks like it came from the factory. Who ever designed this light did a Great job! Hightly recommend.
The light looks great on the bike and fits perfectly. The increased visibility with the running light gives peace of mind. I really like the amber turn signal and believe it catches the eye of people behind me.The instructions to install state to drill 4 holes when 5 holes need to be drilled. They talk about a center hole for the wiring. There is no way you could get the wires close enough to go through one center hole. The gasket has the 5 hole pattern and if you follow the hole pattern on the gasket you will drill in the proper place.
