Plus ca change…

There have been three significant changes in the Pogotronics product line.

The first is that I have more or less indefinitely suspended production of the Pogotronics LED brake/tail light isolator kit because I have found it impossible to source bright, reliable LED brake/tail light globes at a reasonable price.

If I wouldn’t use them on my Spyder, I won’t sell them, and if I can’t buy good globes, then it is unlikely that you can, so you won’t be needing a kit to use them.

If you have a set of LED brake/tail light globes that you want to fit, I will sell you an isolator to keep Nanny quiet. Send me an enquiry for a price and availability.

The second has been the finalisation of the design for the RT version of the Four Eyes kit.

BRP had made it difficult to build a kit for this model, using different headlight globes and different wiring connections from the RS range. A similar situation obtained in the case of the ST range.

I have found a convenient and reliable place to make connections for the Four Eyes kit for the RT and the ST, and so I am now supplying kits for these models.

Finally, I have had a few enquiries recently about the Pogotronics Trailer Wiring Isolator. The volume of sales for these is very low, so each is made to order. To simplify the wiring and reduce the load on the Spyder wiring (the RT in particular), I have deleted the power feed through from the isolator.

If you have a question about any of my kits, or a suggestion for an improvement or a new kit, I would be happy to hear from you.

Pogo.

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.
