Need Hannigan LED Taillight Board

[leo3wheel]

Lost 3 of the 14 LED's in the right taillight of our '09 Yamaha RSV Hannigan trike. Anyone know the part # and source of the LED boards? Thanks!

Leo, upgrade to the 100 LED lights, they are way brighter. I can't recall the maker right now. PM CarbonOne he knows and has the 100 LED. I will be buying them when funds allow.

 

[leo3wheel]

Jay, Was concerned about added power demand, but maybe it is trivial. See it would cost a couple hundred dollars to do both sides, but they are very bright! Need to remove taillight lens to see if board just plugs in. Thanks!

Heard from John at Hannigan. He gave me what I need to order a replacement LED board. Now have to decide whether to replace or upgrade. Thanks John!

 

[Carbon_One]

Leo I probably still have the stock led lights from my 09 since upgrading to the 100 led boards. If interested let me know and I'll check on them

Larry, I would be interested in one of your stock led boards. Please let me know what you want for it. Thanks!

Leo PM sent.

Larry, After talking more with Jeannette, we agreed that we should go for the upgrade rather than used parts. Sorry for any trouble I caused you. Thanks!

 

[leo3wheel]

Best laid plans of mice and men... LED card is hardwired in. Forget the upgrade. "Does Not Replace Bikes Equipped with OEM LED Tail Light." Will order a new stock card from Hannigan. :gah:

 

[leo3wheel]

Turns out Larry's stock taillight LED cards are new, so we worked out a deal. Card arrived today, but it is way too hot to do the swap right now.

Cool LED's Also makes the same board for replacement. when I removed my Hannigan boards
I installed them into my 66 Beetle. went with more LED's on the rear of the Trike.
this is the same board that Hannigan uses

Except, I purchased the back plates only from this vendor.
and then added the LEDS from the Trike to them.

Okay guys I too want to upgrade to the 100 light LED tail lights, however I am a little confused between this talk of plates and boards? I am thinking the plate holds the boards, right? So being the 100 light board is of a different shape than Hannigans original 14 board and plate I would need to change the plate to accommodate the new 100 light board. Right? I have four wires going to a plug under the body see attached photo, so in order to keep the same plug I'll need to splice in the four new wires.... Any clarification or help would be helpful..

 

[Carbon_One]

Yep you're on the right track "the paparazzi". Just test the wires for function and do the same for the new boards before splice them in. Even thou the new boards are a different shape they still slip right into place. If I recall the new boards utilize the lens cover screws to hold them in place. This is an excellent upgrade and well worth doing I might add.

Thanks for the reply and verification Larry, I was getting several heads ups from fellow riders behind me saying that the rear lighting just did not seem to be bright enough... By the way how are you liking the new ride, I haven't seen anything on the forums? I believe it was the (Slingshot) was it not? Anyway sure hope its working for you....

Take Care

Still waiting for delivery. Word from Polaris is within 2 weeks. Looking like I'll be trailing it south in order to have any seat time this year.

Didn't they say 2 weeks 6 weeks ago ?

 

[the paparazzi]

That's right you guys are getting a rash of nasty weather ... Here in California we are still doing the rain dance.

The new LEDs are on order..

 

[the paparazzi]

Ordered the LEDs 11/12 received them today 11/14 and they shipped them priority mail and at their cost! Hard to believe, however they are not cheap at $89.95 each..

Anyway as you can see from the attached photos they came with three wires and attached is a 1157 male plug setup to enable it to inserted into a stock bike socket, obviously those plugs are cut out and then spliced into the exiting trike wiring . My existing LEDs have four wires...... So I'm guessing as long as I have running, turn, and stop lights I'm good......However at the same time I'm asking my self why did Hannigan run four wires in their LEDs and do I need to run a fourth wire? and if so where do I attach it? I have set up lots of trailer wiring and some auto for that matter over the years but just not familiar with these LED's

I again would appreciate any advice and or information from those who have done this upgrade.. knock knock Larry, Cougar :cxtv::cxtv:

 

[Cougar]

The Hannigan led board has the built in components back off/flash and the board your showing does not
you need more parts ��

 

[the paparazzi]

Okay but what part or parts do I need? Do you have a part number or perhaps pictures of your install? Is this the plate thing you were referring to? Maybe I ordered the wrong one? :xzqxz:

 

[DAVID WHETSTONE]

I replaced my Hannigan lights on my 2005 RSTD Trike with this taillight board and a smoke lens. Looks great

Here is the site: https://www.xdcycle.com/discount-mo...Star-Road-Star-LED-Integrated-Tail-light.html

Check them out

 

[Cougar]

OK , if you don not care about the back off part then you will be fine
with those LED's as it is already built into the Hannigan board itself.

When I did what your doing I removed the old ones from Hanniagan
and put them into my 66 VW Beetle .

Now back to if you want them to flash as before you will have to get
a back off unit controller from http://www.customdynamics.com/street_magic_harley_davidson_led_taillights.htm

then you should be good to go !

Larry should be able to chime in here soon !

 

[the paparazzi]

Thanks David for your input I just may look into those ..
Cougar: The funny thing is before my ride was triked I did have the "Back Off component" installed and then removed it because the riders behind me claimed they were confused as to what the hell I was doing, turning left, turning right or what.. Another words with all the flashing going on they became confused.. Mind you this was not just one person but several...
I am presently waiting to hear from Jim from Hannigan as to what they would recommend and hopefully I'll also hear from Larry to get some vibes from him too.. I kind of agree with you I think they would work just fine without the fourth wire, just hate to screw it up and toss away a couple hundred bucks as a learning experience. Boy would I get the stink-eye from my other half... Don't even want to go there. :blush:

 

[Carbon_One]

Ok it's been a while since I did this but I do remember running into the same problem. Hannigan had a load equalizer I had to remove. I don't think it was required with the larger number of LED's in the new board. I installed a trailer wiring converter with a built in flash sequence when the brakes were applied. So in the end I completely rewired from the bikes stock wires under the fender to the lights themselves. For me it was easier to start from scratch then to keep trying to figure out what Hannigan did. Also cleaning up the wiring and sealing terminals with shrink wrap. Larry

 

[Cougar]

Yes ! Larry, we did this about the same time and had I to do the same thing.
Remember we also had to add a resistor as well to make the running light dimmer
as well... its all coming back to me now LOL

Hannigans Tail Light board has the load equalizer built into there tail light boards.
At lest that how it was 5 or 6 years ago.

 

[the paparazzi]

I sure appreciate both of your inputs but I'm still confused, but that's not to unusual for me..I found a wiring diagram that I used to wire my trailer several years back with no problems, I still have the trailer and tow it with my trike.. See attached. Maybe I'm all wet in trying to compare that diagram with the taillight diagram I just made up, but as you can see with the three wire upgradeLED's the directional signals come up short ? I realize the color codes really don't mean much, its what the circuit does that counts..

A couple of months ago my taillights were working fine except for the directional signals, I was told by the people who did the conversion that the problem was the inline wired "Load equalizer".. I found it located under the trike body, replaced it and all was back to normal.. I don't think this has to do with anything except that that wire did effect the turn signals..

Hannigan's response to my inquiry about an upgrade was that they knew of no one who has done this, but that was not unusual , the only time they get responses back is when they don't work, and that sounds understandable.. They also indicated that if I were successful they would like to be informed..

Anyway I realize its a very busy time of the year and I hate to bug you guys with this but I am still puzzled as you can see..
