hotbodies undertail/BM integrated tail light question???

welcome2thedawn · November 21st, 2009, 12:53 AM

does anyone know if there is a way to use the turn signals on the bike monkey integrated tail light with the turn signals on the hotbodies undertail? i called a local bike shopwith this question...and was told that this cannot be done...and if it was that it would be a lot of work....i don't know much about lighting, but it seems like there may be some kind of splitter or something to wire both???

Stay far away from that bike shop. You could have 1 or 50 lights all wired to one turn signal.

All you need to do is connect both of the left side lights to the original left turn signal wire, and both right side lights to the original right turn signal wire. You will also need to change your flasher relay.

+ 1.

Very simple and straight forward connection

coffeecandy · November 21st, 2009, 11:56 AM

+1 even though i never done it

Yup..just splice the wire and hook it up...EZ.

welcome2thedawn · November 21st, 2009, 03:31 PM

thanks...i've never even spliced a wire and i was thinking that i could just do that....do i just change something on the flasher relay that is already there....or do i need to buy something? thanks again....

randomwalk101 · November 21st, 2009, 06:17 PM

nope..if it is working right now, splicing another signal in shouldn't effect it.

Hey welcome2thedawn

Did you end up wiring those led indicators on the undertail up aswell?

I have proton flushmounts, a BM intergrated tail light and just bought a hotbodies undertail and was wondering the same thing about running the LED indicators on the undertail aswell as the others but was not sure if i could.

Cheers

i did....i just spliced the undertail signal wires, and the bike monkey signal wires, with the signal wires from the bike...i did change my flasher relay...it all works fine...i will try to post a video, although i have never done that, so no guarantee it will happen

tjkamper · August 11th, 2010, 03:40 PM

Pictures??? Videos??? Updates???

welcome2thedawn · August 11th, 2010, 06:01 PM

I've been seriously considering this as the small turn signals I've got came undone on a long ride. I think I like this idea quite a bit... we'll see how money goes...lol.

Call Chris, he did this to both our bikes. He can help you out!

If I end up getting stuck I definitely will. I'm pretty good at wiring though

if you are good at wiring, you can definitely do this...i had never wired anything in my life before this, ever, and it turned out fine the first time

FerociousNINJA · August 13th, 2010, 07:14 PM

Glad to see you got it working.. IMO those Hot Bodies turn signals are weak.

welcome2thedawn · August 13th, 2010, 10:33 PM

they actually seem pretty bright to me...i'll try to take some pics/vid in the daylight, hopefully a little clearer

welcome2thedawn · July 13th, 2011, 09:57 PM

hmmmmmm....what the heck happened? bike has been put away for the winter...I got it started, was kinda checking everything out...and my rear signals are now blinking opposite of the front...I know it's not my imagination...I have some videos of them working fine last year...I hope that there is a logical explanation....weird
