Installng Skene rear P3 lights....Eastern Beaver connector?

[cavenger]

I am attempting to transfer my skene lights from my Wee to my S10. Eastern Beaver had a "pig tail" for the Wee (which I still have) that allowed you to connect to the Wee connector under the seat and you would then have the wires required to connect to the controller. This allowed you to not actually tap any wires and made putting everything back to stock nice and clean. Does Eastern Beaver offer such a thing for the S10? Thanks in advance!

Absolutely! He has at least two solutions for the Ténéré, and can include a connector to an unused switched source.
I have the 3 circuit solution on mine.

Thank you, I have seen this page but wasn't sure what to get to tie into the brake light and turn signals. The P3 lights have running lights, brake lights and left and right turn signals. I actually still have my Vstrom EB cable, I wonder if I just need different connectors.

I just installed the P3 onto my 2016 TS.

I did not find such a connector on the ST, and had to 'tap into the cycle's individual wires.

A lot of stuff had to come off, to obtain access to the wiring: Rear Seat, Rear Rack, Pillion Grab Handles. I 'tapped the wiring in the area of the "square box", that appears to contain the front seat "tongue" when the seat is locked in position. That area gave good access to all the needed wires.

You could use one of the three CS3's circuits, but why? 'Tap the brake light for B+, just as instructions show, and keep the CS3's circuit unused (for something else).

One more thing: One turn signal wiring (I think, the left turn signal wiring) was clearly distinguished between ground and "signal", a black and white wire. The other one presented what looked like two black wires. "OK, which one is the signal?!". Closer inspection will show one of the wires has a colored stripe, (I think, a yellow stripe). That's the signal wire. I found out after 'tapping the wrong wire first...

Thank you for this! Great info....However, I am not not officially looking forward to this.

it's pretty easy to get to, I had to do mine twice, I have an integrated tail light and flush mounts in the back.

You got a pic or video of how it all looks?

As mentioned on the integrated taillight thread:

Looks good but 4" from tail light center to the near edge of the turn signal is well known. It's an easy bust when going through an annual safety inspection in some States or for a new license plate in others, then the shop sells you the fix. It also gives any officer an easy reason to pull you over.

If you want to know more, Google NHTSA FMVSS 108

That said, your mod looks good and the LED rear signals on my KTM dual sport are mounted flush on the sides of the fender (like the above photo) because it does get dropped now and then, which kills regular signals. I have a set of regular turn signals if/when it needs to be inspected.
