Rear light conversion (fao Buck)

Having just got my rear LED light from OTR, I have been checking Bucks thread...

http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=320

...on how to do the conversion & I have a question. After cutting the original light unit off, did you stick the led light on with silicone, or did you shorten the thread and attach it to the metal plate with bolts? The threads on the led are quite long.

I also want to keep the indicator/number plate holder in place, will I be able to do so after cutting?

cheers

Sorry for the delay as i dont have access to a computer much,once you remove the rear light you can attach the led light using the bolts that hold the rest of the undertray on ,just loosen the bolts then feed the threads of the led light under the bolts and tighten down,you can use the original indicator set up by making a bracket to hold them on,if you checkout my blog page you can get an idea how i done mine.

I'd love to ride mine thru winter aswell(especially as I've only had the carbon cans fitted for 2/3 weeks) but the traffic here is bad enough without all the rain, mud and other crap on the roads that winter brings along.

Just today when I was taking the bike from my house to my parents garage I high sided on a patch of mud from a nearby construction site and almost kissed tarmac!! My wife was following in the car and she shat herself. I was going pretty fast and I was right out of the seat so needless to say, I bricked it also!!
