[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 717279, member: 11508"] I wish this had worked out. But the taillight bulb openings aren't smallish. They're just freaking tiny. Only big enough to squeeze an 1157 bulb through. I tried two ways to convert to LED taillights. I got a little LED cluster with a base compatible with an 1157 in a store closeout a while back--so cheap I took a chance. The cluster wouldn't pass through the hole. Gave it away to a friend with a cruiser. Then I sent for another one with a measured circumference I knew would fit. Well, it just wasn't bright enough--only had 6 or 7 LEDs in it. When I had a KLR, I (and a lot of the other guys) had the setup below--made for the bike (and you're right, Mike, the KLR was unchanged since Old Michael was called "kid.") [IMG]https://www.dual-star.com/index2/Images%20JPG/KLR%20650%20LED%20Tailight%20Small.jpg[/IMG] Would have saved a lot of electrons, as well as the extra brightness: [IMG]https://www.dual-star.com/index2/Headers%20GIF/graph.gif[/IMG] It was very bright, in an "X" shape, and flashed a few times after braking, then stayed bright. But no way could you shove it through a 3/4" hole to mount it. I tried accessing the FJR taillight bulbs by disassembly one time, but gave it up. I suspect you'd have to buy the whole thing to replace a broken lens. [/QUOTE]
