Hey man, I now have my tail light! Gettin ready to do this and was wonderin what each of the wires go to. Is it red for the running light, white for the brake light, and of course black for the ground? What are the blue and yellow wires for? Thanks for the help.

hey ex lonerider, how is your brake light holding up? I put that same light on my 400 last summer and I broke the plastic tabs off jumping at the dunes. I figured with the stock rubber mounts it would be fine but I guess there was still too much vibration...

mine's holding up just fine......... i race it through the whoops at the dunes and its still on there.... i also used bigger washers to hold the tabs in place.... mine doesent move all that much.
if anything, these are cheap finds on ebay since everyone gets rid of them for the integrated ones? might need to fabricate a top brace fo yours if you are slamming the ground hard enough to snap the tabs? if so, i'd fab up a bracket that ties in the rear cross mount with an upper bent mount to tie the top tab in....

I will have to try that. I've rigged up a new light for now, it's actually a trailer brake light so its kinda big but it has a clear lense and 56 LEDs so its pretty darn bright. I really like the way the R6 light looks though

yea, if you are gonna go with big air, you'll need to brace or find a way to support the R6 tail..... its a fairly small one but as more leverage than the stock one did..... you'll need to finda way to support the upper or bottom portion of the light.

Just something to add to this. My brother and I did this last night to his 400. The one problem I was having was that his brake had some slop in it and there was going to be a chance of the brake lever not tripping the switch to kill the brake light. I was hesitant to hook that straight up to the battery even after tightening and shimming his brake lever, so what I did is found the black wire that comes out of the key switch and that is the wire that gets 12V after you turn your key on and soldered our hot wire into that, so when the key is off you can't turn the brake light on, but you also can't LEAVE your brake light on. Just something to think about, I just couldn't think of why we would need the light to come on when the key was off.
Also, has anyone done anything neat with the turn signal lights? I just have the wires taped up but they are too cool not to do something with.
