Those 3 bolts were absolutely horrible to remove. I used heat and wd40 and eventually had to get my grinder out because I stripped one real bad. Anyway I bought a kit off ebay which is a knock off of the chrome one but for half the price. Looks great and wish I did this mod months ago. Keep up with the vids and yes those wire caps are awesome!

Very nice setup! I have the same exact setup; however, I went with the smoked option. Also, I’d be weary of the plastic they used. Somehow mine cracked (luckily I didn’t lose my plate). Going to JB weld the piece that came off, back on. Fingers crossed it works.
Thanks yea I love the look of it. The plastic felt pretty strong on mine, maybe chrome glow upgraded it after some customer complaints? I'll keep an eye on it hopefully doesn't break. Do you feel the smoked option is not bright enough for people to see you from behind?
@@Kamdorian Yeah man-I was quite sad lol. If CG did, I might have to upgrade mine. Likewise, the smoked option is very light on the smoke (which I prefer.) I’ve actually uploaded a video of my bike a day or two ago, it finally proceeded and should be up on my channel if you want to see the smoked option!
@@Ginofox77 I watched the video, the front blinkers look great I might get them. Also how is the vibration when riding on the bar end mirrors? Were they easy to install?
@@Kamdorian The vibration is somewhat there at higher speeds; however, at lower speeds it’s not present. As for the installation, the bar ends were a breeze to install. They not only look great but function awesome on the road with minimal vibration, as compared to the OE mirrors which in my opinion, are terrible.
Yes pretty easy to see. They are definitely not as visible as the stock turn signals but I think they are good enough and I have had no problems with people not seeing me. Also the taillight looks amazing!
Love the video bro, but notice how your hazards blink slower than your left/right indicator? You need to add a resistor to the indicator wire so they blink at normal speed.
I am looking at this for my 23 KVS - since you've had this for a while (assuming you haven't changed it out) How is the visibility on it during the day? I would think for night it would be bright enough. Just concerned about daytime brightness. Thanks!
Visibility is decent during day time. My wife drove behind me and said she could clearly see when I hit the brakes. At night it's even better of course. This is a low profile tail light so you will lose some visibility compared to the stock light but i think it's minimal loss. Good luck and ride safe!
sweet thanks!. I was a little confused on how you were testing the lights. Did you disconnect the black from battery and where did you connect the wiring to get it to light up? Thanks
Thanks! My bike already had a relay installed when I bought it. I didn't add any load equalizer or anything. No issues with signals being out of sync. The exhaust is from CS Racing, it looks and sounds great and only around $650.
@@Kamdorian I was wondering how you got the lights in sync. Mine arrives in a weeks time. Your video was so helpful. I had been looking for someone to do one. Thank you ! Also is there a reason you went with the clear when smoke would have looked cool with the black ?
@@omairsyed thanks I also was looking for an install video and couldn't find one so I decided to make the video myself lol. So the lights were synced fine just by plugging them in normally. My bike does have a relay installed already for the power outlet mod so the relay might be helping with the light sync but I am not sure. Relay is cheap and easy to install. I went with the clear light because I was worried the smoked light would have reduced visibility. I am not sure if it really is reduced but went with the safer clear option, although you are right the smoked would look cooler. If you get the smoked let me know how it looks!
I know this might be a silly question, but are the turn signals clearly visible during a sunny day? I might be wrong, but first of all, such an unusual type of light might not catch drivers' attention. Secondly, it might not be very visible in sunlight. Especially since the red light does not disappear when turning. The colors might blend. Am I wrong?
You are correct, these turn signals are not as bright as the stock ones but I have had no issues with other drivers seeing me so far. You can also add other rear turn signals to add more visibility.
It depends on what comes with the universal rear light and plate mounting equipment. The stock Vulcan has a terrible metal extended fender underneath the stock tail light assembly that has to be removed before mounting any aftermarket parts. Once removed you are left with 3 holes in the rear fender that can be used to mount any taillight as long as it's the right spacing for the holes on the mounting equipment. The taillight I used is made for the Vulcan 650 so it fit perfectly. There's some other options out there that fit perfect as well. Which light are you trying to use?
The jack is the type used for any sport bike, see link here www.amazon.com/dp/B0036QZ8VQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_QF29ABFJN93DKABE9KEF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. And the green items are swingarm spools see link here www.amazon.com/dp/B0753H618W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_H78NMJ5V1R6M12S78TDD
Any tips on what u did to get the fit right? I place the fender on to line it up and make it flush, but I can't tighten the screw with the fender in place 🤔 and as soon as I lift off the fender, I lose the placement I wanted 🤦♂️
It takes some trial and error of placing fender on lining up the light then remove fender and slightly tighten the light then place fender back on to confirm alignment. I did that a few times. Tighten the bolts under the light first so then you only use the adjustment screws to move the light front back left or right. The adjustment screws are on the top of the light. See time point 11:45 of the video. Good luck!
I don't have a specific relay from chrome glow. I have the kawasaki relay already installed because I have the 12v charger port which requires the relay. I am not sure if relay is really needed though. If you have a vulcan than I recommend asking chrome glow if a relay is needed and if it is then get the kawasaki one.
Do folks know if there is an aftermarket bracket that allows the rear license plate to be attached to the left of the tire? (...like on a V-Rod) Or, would a person need to design a DIY bracket...and cut off the rear license plate frame?
I am actually looking for the same thing. A quick aftermarket part that allows the plate to be mounted on the swingarm left of the tire. I have seen many Vulcans with the side mounting so it's definitely possible. I'll try finding the mounting bracket and send you the link!

No sorry that hasn't happened to me. You might need the flash relay module it's a simple plug in device that goes under the gas tank. Are both turn signals having that issue? Did you change the stock front then signals?
@@Kamdorian so I removed the floppy side markers and use the headlight leds as my turn signal. They had been working fine before the tail tidy install even though they blink fast. I am hoping the device that corrects the flash speed can make them work again. Have you purchased this?

Still love it, everything works fine quality is great. Visibility at night is very bright as I was told from my wife when she drove behind me. I don't do much night riding though.
@@alvaropena1220 no I have not, this could mean that you switched the normal running light wire with the actual brake wire. If you switch those connections going to the bike it should fix it.
Only way to do this is to lower the height of the bike with different suspension. You can also adjust tightness of existing suspension so when you are sitting on the bike it goes lower.
Yes the power wire for the plate light is black with white stripe check 13:16 timepoint in the video. It's called "tag light". It has a ground wire and the power wire for the license plate light. If the light is not working either the led is dead or the wiring was done wrong. Only way to know is to remove the rear fender and check. Beginning of my video shows how to remove the fender. Good luck!
@@Kamdorian Well the weather finally got up to 30 here in Upstate. So got out in the garage today. Took the fender off, found the tag lights not wired or grounded. Thanks for the info. Got the light working so I shouldn't get my balls busted come inspection time
@@joekatchmar5235 ha that will do it! Glad you found the problem and were able to fix it. I'm done with this winter, can't wait for spring to start the bikes and ride.
Great video, I will probably look into it once I sell my current bike and pick up a Vulcan. But side note I hate posi taps with a passion. They can fail, vibrate loose, or get an intermittent connection. Just solder connection,. It seems intimidating but it's really not
Thanks man. Yea I would prefer soldering too and I'm sure it's easy I just don't have the soldering equipment. My positaps are working fine so far, fingers crossed they don't fail soon!
@@Kamdorian no they do last for awhile and depending on where you are you might be safe. I live in the northwest so corrosion and water are huge things. Also if you want a cheap solder on Amazon is like $20 and risen core solder is like $5. But again you may be perfectly safe. If you do decide to switch your first few times it will work fine but probably look ugly while you learn lol. So just make sure it's in a hidden area🤣
If you are using a bike shop for the install then they might be able to do a fancier electrical connection job. Otherwise they can use posi taps for the connections like I do in my video. Positaps link is here amzn.to/3K9WNuA
@@Kamdorian thanks will take a look. Did you ever move your plate to the side mount like you mentioned. I'm hesitant about laws and ahold cops writing tickets in GA for vertical plates.
@@buy_da_dip8174 I have not moved to the side yet, I have the same hesitation! I met other riders in my state that have the plate on the side and they haven't had any trouble so I guess it's fine! Will add it to the last of things left to change on the bike..
@@Kamdorian Thank You Sir. Im from Philippines and wathching your videoas especially the vulcan s modification that you did - we are preparing for my Dad's Vulcan S an upgtade from Benelli Cruiser.
I can read you got the relay kit installed from Kawasaki. How come your blinkers goes too fast then? It's only hasard light that's normal speed. And cool video, it's a nice help. :)
Yea would be cool if it was a double or triple row of LEDs, so far haven't had issues with people seeing me but of course more brightness is always better
@@rickytsuha4020 you have to lift the gas tank. There is a connector in between gas tank and base of handle bars. Search RUclips for Vulcan flash relay install and you will find few videos. Good luck!

@@e.cabrera1861 haha thanks man!! I definitely plan on teaching the kid how to ride..big wheel to bicycles to dirt bikes to motorcycles..just the way I did it!
Hey dude, did you have to add any type of load equalizer, or replacement flasher relay? I went on the chrome glow website and they recommend it to maintain stock flash rate. Or is that just a cash grab. LOL
It's true you do need a relay to prevent hyper flash. I didn't install a relay yet and I do have hyper flash. You can find cheaper options on Amazon for like $10-20.
@@jolsen76 yup hyperflash means it's blinking too fast. My rear signals and front turn signals all blink too fast (I also changed out my front turn signals and headlight so that's also messing with the flash speed LOL). I definitely need a flash relay asap.
@@jolsen76 thanks man, check out my other video that shows all the mods I have so far. Feel free to use any of them on your bike. Ride safe cheers man 🥃
Video was a little dark and hard to see at some points but very well explained, enough so that the bits I couldn’t see I was still able to do just by listening. Thanks for the help mate :)
Check your wiring, sounds like you connected the running light wire from the bike to the brake light wire on the new taillight. Switch the wiring so the brake light from bike is connected to brake light from taillight.
Hi try these links. It can be bought from Amazon or directly from chrome glow website. amzn.to/2QLib0H chromeglow.com/products/kawasaki-vulcan-s-led-fender-eliminator-kit-with-run-brake-turn
I bought a used Vulcan S that has this exact led taillight. TBH the visibility is my biggest concern with the light. I am going to be replacing it with an R&G tail tidy product since I don't have the OEM parts or the OEM fender. The R&G lights are bigger than this strip yet still smaller than the stock lights. I came here to see how this part was wired. Hopefully I won't have much of an issue swapping it out, but the posi-taps make me nervous, but I assume I can just electrical tape them up after removal.
@@Mark-ji7ek yea the R&G will give more visibility but I like the low profile look of the chrome glow better. There is a video on RUclips on how to install the R&G, it seems like some wire splicing is needed but yea the positaps are worth a shot! Good luck and ride safe!!
Yes you can mount the plate on the side. You have to make sure the mount comes w a plate light and has to be 12" off of the ground to be legal in some states. You would then also cut off the plate holder bracket on the Tail Tidy to make a cleaner look.

Thanks bud, it's a CS racing exhaust. csracingusa.com/products/kawasaki-vulcan-s-en650-2015-on-full-exhaust-system-muffler-header-cs-racing
Check out CS racing and talk to Patrik! He is great to work with and the exhaust sounds awesome 👌

Is it possible to make the fender more go down? I mean make it closer to the wheel
Only way to do this is to lower the height of the bike with different suspension. You can also adjust tightness of existing suspension so when you are sitting on the bike it goes lower.
thank you feor the response! It's always my goal to purchase kawasaki vulcan!@@Kamdorian
You can purchase a Savage Rear lowering kit for this bike. It lowers the rear 1.5 inches.
Hey kam love that look , can you add the link for the sissy bar, and thank u bro.
Thanks man here's the link. Good luck and ride safe! amzn.to/3WBzdOk
Thanks the eliminator is out of stock great video 👍💯
Greetings,
What front fender ornament do you have on?
It is a deer whistle, you can find it on Amazon. It prevents deers from running on the road in front of you.
Did you have to wire in the license plate light as well? My bike came with this fender but the LED's over the plate don't seem to be working
Yes the power wire for the plate light is black with white stripe check 13:16 timepoint in the video. It's called "tag light". It has a ground wire and the power wire for the license plate light. If the light is not working either the led is dead or the wiring was done wrong. Only way to know is to remove the rear fender and check. Beginning of my video shows how to remove the fender. Good luck!
@@Kamdorian Thank you
@@Kamdorian Well the weather finally got up to 30 here in Upstate. So got out in the garage today. Took the fender off, found the tag lights not wired or grounded. Thanks for the info. Got the light working so I shouldn't get my balls busted come inspection time
@@joekatchmar5235 ha that will do it! Glad you found the problem and were able to fix it. I'm done with this winter, can't wait for spring to start the bikes and ride.
The clip you broke is easily avoided if you push in the center button first. They're called plastic rivets
Yea I know..the clip on mine was already half broken so it fully broke with little force
Great video, I will probably look into it once I sell my current bike and pick up a Vulcan. But side note I hate posi taps with a passion. They can fail, vibrate loose, or get an intermittent connection. Just solder connection,. It seems intimidating but it's really not
Thanks man. Yea I would prefer soldering too and I'm sure it's easy I just don't have the soldering equipment. My positaps are working fine so far, fingers crossed they don't fail soon!
@@Kamdorian no they do last for awhile and depending on where you are you might be safe. I live in the northwest so corrosion and water are huge things.
Also if you want a cheap solder on Amazon is like $20 and risen core solder is like $5. But again you may be perfectly safe. If you do decide to switch your first few times it will work fine but probably look ugly while you learn lol. So just make sure it's in a hidden area🤣
@@TechAndMotorcycles haha thanks for the info I'll check it out...always wanted to learn soldering.
So just to confirm. If i order the taillight and the relay from Amazon.
Do i need anything else to else to give the bike shop to connect?
If you are using a bike shop for the install then they might be able to do a fancier electrical connection job. Otherwise they can use posi taps for the connections like I do in my video. Positaps link is here amzn.to/3K9WNuA
@@Kamdorian thanks will take a look. Did you ever move your plate to the side mount like you mentioned. I'm hesitant about laws and ahold cops writing tickets in GA for vertical plates.
@@buy_da_dip8174 I have not moved to the side yet, I have the same hesitation! I met other riders in my state that have the plate on the side and they haven't had any trouble so I guess it's fine! Will add it to the last of things left to change on the bike..
@@Kamdorian any brackets you recommend?
@@buy_da_dip8174 brackets for what?
What are your Tires Sizes - It looks good and better than stock.
It is stock tire, just looks better with the new tail light because it shows more of the tire compared to the stock tail light assembly.
@@Kamdorian Thank You Sir. Im from Philippines and wathching your videoas especially the vulcan s modification that you did - we are preparing for my Dad's Vulcan S an upgtade from Benelli Cruiser.
@@SDB_Ideas that's great I'm glad you like the videos congratulations he will love the bike good luck
Do you have a video on how to install your new exhaust pipe?
I do not but here is a video from a friend on how to install. ruclips.net/video/uv9kY2dc9Vw/видео.html it's pretty easy.
I can read you got the relay kit installed from Kawasaki. How come your blinkers goes too fast then? It's only hasard light that's normal speed. And cool video, it's a nice help. :)
Yea I am not sure why the blinkers are still going fast, I have to check it out. I appreciate the feedback, glad you enjoyed the video!
@@Kamdorian And nice car too, same as mine in same color. :)
@@z1v4 thanks, I love blue everything haha and of course black!
You need to install the flash relay under the left side of the gas tank.
I hope the led were a little bigger for people from the rear to really see at daytime
Yea would be cool if it was a double or triple row of LEDs, so far haven't had issues with people seeing me but of course more brightness is always better
How did you make the yellow lights not pulse so fast and have a lower speed?
@@rickytsuha4020 get a flash relay from Amazon amzn.to/4fxmALm
@@Kamdorian where on the motorcycle does it connect?
@@rickytsuha4020 you have to lift the gas tank. There is a connector in between gas tank and base of handle bars. Search RUclips for Vulcan flash relay install and you will find few videos. Good luck!
@@Kamdorian thanks bro 🙏
Do you have amazon link for that part?
You can buy from Amazon here www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G2LG9TP/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07G2LG9TP&linkCode=as2&tag=kamdorian02-20&linkId=c8fbb7045359360bfe04ca6c1668513a. But might be cheaper if you buy directly from Chrome Glow website.
Is that a stock head light?
No it's aftermarket, check the video description for link to buy from Amazon
Can you list the link for sissy bar with back pad and thank you.
@@will-i-amT63 amzn.to/4etSKWu
I think it looks too thin which makes it look very cheap. But really appreciate the video, great fitting tutorial!!
Sono Italiano e vivo in Italia. mi indicheresti dove poterlo acquistare? Grazie
Sorry I don't speak Italian, please translate to English. I wish to learn Italian one day!!
Where can I buy one in new Zealand?
I am not sure, try Amazon or the Chrome glow website.
Will this kit fit the 2022 Kawasaki Vulcan S 650?
Yes it will fit
After a year later, how is the led fender holding up?
Still holding strong, works great no issues.
@@Kamdorian I was hoping to hear that! When are you coming out with more motovlogs?
@@e.cabrera1861 soon my friend. Had a baby so been super busy with work and the kid. Will make some videos in next few weeks though!
@@Kamdorian big congrats brotha! Hope to see little Kamdorian with their own little modded out Vulcan S on your page soon lol!
@@e.cabrera1861 haha thanks man!! I definitely plan on teaching the kid how to ride..big wheel to bicycles to dirt bikes to motorcycles..just the way I did it!
very good instructions and helpful! i keep checking online they dont have it in stock :(
Thank you! Check my amazon link in the video description. Otherwise also check the direct chrome glow website.
Nice video…great job😃👍
Thank you my man!
No relay switch needed?
I believe a relay is needed, my bike came with one because the previous owner installed the power outlet.
💯 need a relay. It installs under the fuel tank. Plugs right into the bike.
Buenas!! Necesito saber si este producto tiene el marcado de homologación europeo. Gracias jeje
Hi sorry I don't know if it does have the approval mark. Most likely it doesn't but you can ask the vendor from Amazon to confirm
Keep fenders on for sure
very nice video!
Thank you!
Hey dude, did you have to add any type of load equalizer, or replacement flasher relay? I went on the chrome glow website and they recommend it to maintain stock flash rate. Or is that just a cash grab. LOL
It's true you do need a relay to prevent hyper flash. I didn't install a relay yet and I do have hyper flash. You can find cheaper options on Amazon for like $10-20.
@@Kamdorian Appreciate it. So does your rear blinker flash too fast? Or does your hyper flash (what is that?) fix that issue?
@@jolsen76 yup hyperflash means it's blinking too fast. My rear signals and front turn signals all blink too fast (I also changed out my front turn signals and headlight so that's also messing with the flash speed LOL). I definitely need a flash relay asap.
@@Kamdorian Awesome, thanks buddy. Great looking bike by the way. Gave me some great ideas for mine!! Cheers. 🍺
@@jolsen76 thanks man, check out my other video that shows all the mods I have so far. Feel free to use any of them on your bike. Ride safe cheers man 🥃
Is there a way to get the blinker to go slower?
Yes just need to install a flasher relay switch. I will have a video up on it soon.
Nice bike bro
Thanks bud!
Video was a little dark and hard to see at some points but very well explained, enough so that the bits I couldn’t see I was still able to do just by listening.
Thanks for the help mate :)
Sorry about that yea could have had better lighting in my garage. Glad it worked out though! Let me know if you have any questions. Ride safe bro!
You needed the heat gun?
@@alvaropena1220 yes heat gun helped alot to loosen the loctite on the bolts.

@@adriaanvanderwalt5772 yes sir excited for you. Let me know if you have any issues. Good luck and ride safe!
If the led strip was an inch thicker it’d be nice.. no visibility
Yea I might get one of those rear facing led lights that go on the helmet and signal when braking.
Just picked up the SteelMate led helmet brake light on Amazon Thing is mint for the price!
I have the same one and it's highly visible much more than the OEM. Real life vs video. Super bright at night.
Easy breezy!👍
Yes, very easy just takes some patience and trial/error to get the light aligned to the rear fender lip. This one was fun!
My break light stays on the entire time. What can be the problem?
Check your wiring, sounds like you connected the running light wire from the bike to the brake light wire on the new taillight. Switch the wiring so the brake light from bike is connected to brake light from taillight.

Nice brooo
Thanks brooo!
Darker picture please I can just about make out what you working on !
Sorry about that bud lighting was little bit off, any steps you need help with?
That's like a bike. 650 cc. Woo Hoo. 😁
Yes much bigger and more powerful then the 250cc in my other videos haha
@@Kamdorian I am half way through the video now and I can see it's a lot of work. Well done. 😊
You should be in a bomb squad. Lol
That was freaking impressive. I did a rewind to see it. 🤣😅
@@dashsunil hahaha it's fun to play with wiring and learning new things! This was the first time I did this kind of extensive mod on a bike.
Interesanti interesanti
This bike always looked like it needed a bigger rear wheel.
Totally agree!! When my tires need to be changed I'll definitely be increasing the rear size.
I have a 185 Pitelli GT and can go bigger.
Just be sure you are still street legal for your state. Must be visible from 150ft and in inclement weather. Safety trumps looks
I agree safety first. My state doesn't require inspection for motorcycles.
Visible from more than that.
This bike looks better with the fender, it looks weird without it because the tyre is too skinny.
@@australienski6687 can always get a bigger rear tire!
@@Kamdorianthere's a limit will never be as fat as a Harley
Like the look, but lights aren’t strong enough to be seen clearly in the daylight. Becomes a safety issue, IMHO
You may be right! Knock on wood I have had no issues so far.
I bought a used Vulcan S that has this exact led taillight. TBH the visibility is my biggest concern with the light. I am going to be replacing it with an R&G tail tidy product since I don't have the OEM parts or the OEM fender. The R&G lights are bigger than this strip yet still smaller than the stock lights. I came here to see how this part was wired. Hopefully I won't have much of an issue swapping it out, but the posi-taps make me nervous, but I assume I can just electrical tape them up after removal.
@@Mark-ji7ek yea the R&G will give more visibility but I like the low profile look of the chrome glow better. There is a video on RUclips on how to install the R&G, it seems like some wire splicing is needed but yea the positaps are worth a shot! Good luck and ride safe!!

Sorry man but all your efforts to hide your license plate resulted futile when wind came into scene
😂
Мне нравится оригинальное крыло. Светодиодная полоска это полная херня…
Sorry don't understand that language
@@Kamdorian переводчик тебе в помощь. Это Русский язык! Скоро будете все его учить!
Good jobs, however before was better,
To each their own
💯 wrong.
Better at what ? Being uglier, bigger and hideous? Yes 💯
Is a led relay required for connection?
Not required but does help with reducing hyper flash in the turn signals. Amazon sells the relay for very cheap
Original fender far better and better looking
I like the low profile new fender especially because it shows more rear tire.
You are 💯 wrong. It is horrendous. Looks like a car bumper. The eliminators are much more sleek.

All that work to hide his license plate and the paper flaps up LMAO
Can you mount the plate on the side
No this kit doesn't come with a mount for the side. You would have to get a different plate mount for that. If you find one let me know!
@@Kamdorian google it. Plenty of examples. I think it’s a sharper look personally
Yes you can mount the plate on the side. You have to make sure the mount comes w a plate light and has to be 12" off of the ground to be legal in some states. You would then also cut off the plate holder bracket on the Tail Tidy to make a cleaner look.
