Oldschool bikes with no canbus were easier to equip with aux lights. All you need was to trigger the relay with the correspondent instrument's (high beam, horn, break light etc) positive wire...😊
I had a bit of a giggle with I realized that you bought a controller for lights on your bike. Love that you are just as light focused with you Pan America as you with your Street Glide. 😎😁
You MAY actually be able to connect that other company's brake lights to the CANsmart, if you make an adapter so that it plugs into one of the CANsmart circuit connectors. And as long as there's no controller or programming inside that aftermarket brake light. Then you should be able to allow the California Legal Flashing (flash, flash, flash, solid) and the deceleration braking to work for those aftermarket brake lights. You do need some sort of brake light plugged into the CANsmart in order to get access to these special braking features. The same applies for Driving lights or Fog lights. Any OEM driving or fog lights won't have those special features like strobe with horn, or dimming, unless those OEM lights are wired into one of the CANsmart circuits. But then you would no longer control them with the factory aux light switch. There's so much you can do with these types of controllers! What are your thoughts now that you've had them for a year?
Great instructional video Colin. I haven’t actually used these particular lights but the pc connection is interesting. I do have to use printed instructions all the time and we won’t talk about how much I’ve worked with them or can-bus systems. I do have to say, I’ve never been intelligent enough to use my “smarter” half as a spotter for intensity optimization.🤣 Be well my friend. 🤙🏼
Thanks for sharing these. A guy I work with has these on his African Twin. I have been thinking about adding the D4 LED light pods to my Ultra Limited since I do a lot of highway riding to work at night. My trip to and from work is almost 100 miles round trip. These will be awesome for some extra lighting to light up the side of the highway. The guy at work his D4 lights strobe its pretty cool.
damn! so nice, I don't ride enough at tneed to need all of that but that setup on the rear is great, and maybe a small set of running lights iin the front would be perfect for me, I'll be checking them out! sláinte!
So i thinking of going with D4s on the top and then maybe later on get a pair of D7s for the lower crash bars. For the brake light I was originally thinking of going with the B6 but these look better. Horn I am getting hella two tone horns and custom wiring made which just sounds like a car horn, since pressure horns are illegal where I live. I wanted to check if you get the harness for connecting the lights with this cansmart or you need to purchase separate harness ?
The cansmart has the wires to plug into the units. I connected via plug and play the front two sets of lights. The horn would do the same if you have their horn or another aftermarket. Remember, the brake lights I picked up don’t work with the Cansmart, so if you want strobing, these don’t work. You will need to get the B6 to have that. The T3 are just run, brake, and turn.
@@Broncoride Thanks for the reply, good to know that I don't need to get additional wiring harness. So if the T3s dont work with the cansmart, then how did you connect those ? I was thinking of getting a single B6 as that would be sufficient enough as an additional brake light but then these T3 look much better. And I am also planning to get some running lights put on my top case. Since the PanAm battery is all the way at the front, did you need to modify the cansmart wires that connect to the battery or are they long enough to reach thr battery even when the device is placed under the rider or pillion seat?
@@Dude_Virus you need a separate brake harness for T3. I called them and they told me which one I needed for T3. It’s a plug and play adapter that goes into existing OEM one. As for cansmart, they are long enough for sure.
Looks way cool on a Pan America! I guess the usefulness depends on whether or not you ride a lot at night on lonely dark roads. Can’t believe how wimpy the stock Harley rear lighting is! I guess part of the “adventure” is wondering if the guy behind you is gonna see those lights. Do they sell a kit to convert the stock turn signals to run-brake-turn lights? I have a kit that does just that on my Road King and it definitely helps.
Oh, they are pretty weak. That was first thing I noticed when riding at night. I believe they do sell a kit that would convert the OEM brake. I’d rather get a better light and then do conversion.
I don’t have a specific one but Denali walked me through a couple things. The install really isn’t difficult. My biggest time I spent on it was removing tank. Saying that, you really don’t need to do that. Just run wires underneath but I would recommend picking up some wire loom. Everything else is plug and play and just mounting hardware for lights.
If I’m understanding you right, you’re asking about who to call for Denali. Just call their main number and ask for tech support. They will help you with what to order
This Pan America, looks like a 9 year old got a hold of a JC Whitney catalog and bought a bunch of mis-matched stuff and bolted it all together over a weekend.

I’m a light junkie.
Heck of a setup, you sure do have a couple of lit bikes!
Thanks my friend
Great video glad you found new lights for the pan American. Looks great. Ride Safe
Thank you my friend
Pretty cool dude. Can’t wait to see some night footage.
Definitely. They make a huge difference at night.
I like the Denali lights. Bi think I have a video saved from their YT channel.
Good information! Yes, make a video of you riding at night! 🤘
They have a couple on their channel. They made a huge difference

I really like it. No issues at all.
Cool gadget...thanks for sharing it. Ride safe 👍👊🇺🇸
It’s very cool man
Great instructional video, I would need to bring my bike to you 😂
I work for beer
Great video and great set-up!...looks good...thanks for sharing...stay safe...ride safe!!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦
Cool, thanks Pinks

The laptop set-up was super easy. You really only need to do it once unless you want to constantly change. I got mine set-up where I want it now.

I looked at the 4’s too. They are really nice. The ones I have really make a difference.
That's some serious business up front ...
Damn bright
Great video

The rear makes such a huge difference. Surprised how bright those little lights are.
@@Broncoride thats awesome!

What company can really install

@@Broncoride Yeah they should have given the orange caps on the turn singal, those are significantly better than the transparent white ones.
Hey brother, can you direct me to any installation tutorials you used?

Saying that, you really don’t need to do that. Just run wires underneath but I would recommend picking up some wire loom. Everything else is plug and play and just mounting hardware for lights.
I have a Pan American to have that installed on my bike what company can do it and who can really know what to order

👍
Thanks
I haven't installed lights because my 22'PanAm only cranks 50 % of the time already
No kidding, right?
@@Broncoride yep at 4000 miles starting issues, page of codes, all modes gone. They've had it two months maybe they can fix it
This Pan America, looks like a 9 year old got a hold of a JC Whitney catalog and bought a bunch of mis-matched stuff and bolted it all together over a weekend.
At least you didn’t say JCPenney, then I really would have been questioning your intelligence.
Mark at least hes got a motorcycle
@@cluelesswonderer7898 Its still fugly
I knew it would only be a matter of time before you LED fetish surfaced 😁
Dude, can’t believe I waited this long
