Market forces

Its been an interesting few weeks. The LED brake/tail light kits have been selling steadily. I’m pleased that I have solved a problem here.

My suppliers however have solved a different problem, and the high brightness red LED brake/tail lights that I use in these kits have become scarce and expensive.

Rather than greatly increase the price of these kits or use an inferior grade of globe, I have stopped producing these kits while I find a suitable replacement.

The Four Eyes kit I was poking at took off so quickly that I haven’t had time to list it as a product. That will come soon. I have a few days over the break when nothing can be done in the lab, and so I will put up a listing for these kits.

In the rush to meet demand, I found a couple of gotchas with these kits. I had assumed that BRP would use a standard wiring loom for the headlights across all models. I found out that the wiring for the RT is very different (thanks for your help, Adrian) and that the ST model uses different connectors again.

So for now I am making Four Eyes kits available only for the GS/RS models while I first get some suitable connectors for the RT and ST and then make a better wiring harness to suit these models.

Those folk who have bought kits for the RT or ST can of course get a full refund, but I am hoping to have the revised kits available soon, and will exchange them at no cost.

Lastly, I have removed the comment box from my blog posts. I have been getting literally hundreds of spam posts which I have to check and reject. Among them I found only two genuine comments.

So if you would like to comment on a post,  please use the enquiries page, and enter the name of the post in the subject.

Pogo.
