    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rear Brake Light Blows Fuse

So I just got a new rear light from an Autozone because the P/O had a marker light on it. I plugged in the brown wire to the hot wire on the bike so the filament always stays on then I plugged the other cord in the right place, then I grounded the light. So It was working fine when I was testing it and stuff and then I wrapped up all my other blinker cords and what not then I turned it on to test it and it is fine when the light is on, but once I press the brake to turn on the rear brake light it blows the fuse.

What do you think is going on? Thanks in advance!
 
Dead short comes to mind . Open your wiring back up and see what is wired wrong or shorting on something. It should be obvious.Also the light you bought is it a 2 element light or a single element?Sounds like you may have the brake light wired to the ground wire.

Brake light wire should be white, ground is black, and taillight should be brown (if it matches up with mine and the 850 I saw)
