Concrete Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I know its a little off topic but how would I do it to add a brake light instead of the regular tail light? I want to add a 450r tail light... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to add a 450r tail light... I'm not sure of what you are asking... I added a brake/tail... Mine is just smaller and relocated... Still functions as noal light did. As long as the light you use has 3 wires... You should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 You'll need pressure bolts/switches on your front lever and rear caliper to make a stop light work if your banshee is pre 2002, from then on they were fitted with them on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concrete Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Appreciate the insight, how would I install them and where can I get them from? Or would I just have to switch my pre -03 brakes for some later model ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Brakes are the same, you just get a hydraulic pressure switch that fit on the lever and the rear caliper, they come in a bolt or washer type fitment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Oh forgot to mention you can get them on eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ban99 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 These guys have some nice quality made lights and a huge selection. http://www.customdynamics.com/motorcycle_lights.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concrete Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Been wondering that for a while thanks guys. What about the LED 450 light Would there be any problems connecting it since I don't have a battery and the lights flicker. Could it still be done?

Glenyboy Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 You'll need to convert to dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concrete Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 So unless I convert it to dc its not possible to use this light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Cal Suspension Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 So unless I convert it to dc its not possible to use this light? You can use almost any LED product with your stock setup, with the exception of high-power LED's. High power LED's require a very specific input voltage. Usually within a range of 1/2 of a volt. Obviously you've watched your stock lights dim at idle, and get super bright at full throttle. The reason for this is halogen and incandescent bulbs will operate on just about any voltage, up to a certain voltage. I've never run a 450 rear light, but I have tested numerous LED products on a Banshee electrical system, and think it will work just fine.
