    Admore tail light bar on a wethead

    Has anyone successfully installed an Admore tail light bar on a wethead? Canbus problems?

    Nearly 200 views and no reply. This is beginning to sound like no one has ever put one of these light bars on a wethead.

    From the thread they look good, that being said I've installed a dozen sets of Skene P3 lights on various bikes and been quite happy with the results, no Canbus issues either

    I installed their taillight bar on my 2015 RT with no problems. Bar stays on for a minute once ignition is turned off.

    Admore light problems on 2016 R1200RT

    I installed their newest smart technology rear light on my 16 RT. I used the rear power socket for power as instructed. The light sometimes would never turn off and other times it would turn off after about an hour. If I plugged something into the power socket it would turn off right away. I don't think the thing draws enough current to let the computer know that something is on. Also I just had a 12K service done and the mechanic told me there were multiple brake light faults in memory so he disconnected the whole thing. He said he was worried about ABS system. Also said it was the second bike he had seen with the problem.
    I'm going to use the switched power from the under seat fuse block, then make sure everything else is connected properly and try it again. If I still get faults, I'll probably switch to a Clearwater Billie light since I have the Darla lights with a canopener installed

    I have the same unit and pick up power from the same place. Mine stays on for one minute when I turn my 15 RT off. I asked one of the master techs at local dealer if there was a better place to get switched power and he said no, where I have it is as good as any other.

    I have the Admore light on my 2017 R1200GS. No issues, no faults. I picked up power off of the Green/Red wire at the fuse block. I also installed one on my friend's 2015 RT with the power coming off of the rear powerlet socket. Again, no issues at all. The additional light (running, brake, turn) definitely improves visibility.

    Switched power to the red/green wire on the fuse plug and everything works fine now. I cleared the faults with a GS-911,went for a ride and rescanned with no faults. I really like the light and am glad it's working now.
