• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

LED tail-light with integrated blinkers for 08 SM610ie?

Dunlop

Dunlop

Husqvarna
AA Class
Could someone please tell me if there is an LED version similar to this UFO tail light kit shown below that would work for a 2008 SM610ie?
I have used the search function and only found wiring issues and LED only tail light swaps.

I am tired of broken turn signals and for some reason (likely vibration) my running light will not stay on (brake light does illuminate though), please help me CafeHusky family before I get ran over at night on the highway!

The inner part of the brake light is the same as a buell Xb tail light. So if you don't want to make your own. Look for one that will work on a buell.

Here is one that is a little expensive. you can have the directionals integrated as well, and very good build quality:

Hope that helps.

According to the vehicle code, turn signals need to be a certain distance apart. I'm sure any integrated signals in a tail light assembly are an excuse for a cop to pull you over and ticket you if they feel like it.

Thanks Brian, I saw the Buell tail light swap on the SuperMotoJunkie website but obviously the cost is far from double digits and I would like to stay under $99 including installation.
MNB the UFO kit pictured in the first post is legal and an example of what I wanted. For the same reasons you mentioned I am not looking for a tail light with the turn signal lights integrated into the same tail light (brake/running light).
 
I went for one of these on my 610 : Link
DRC Edge, It looks like a OEM unit, Fitment is ok although I did drill through the rear fender to add another bolt.

Regards
Gav

Yes, this is correct and I thought about it when I changed out my Beta to LED lights. Left the Husky alone as there was no need to modify the lights except for esthetics.

We'll see which, if any bike gets the ticket. I see a lot of this so I'm pretty sure most cops are not targeting us.
