INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND MANUAL
FOR
Lunasee 320 AND PRO 1000
Hi-Viz Wheel Light Charging systems
And
LunaGlo Rim Tape (sold separately)
Lunasee 320 Hi-Viz Wheel Light Charging Systems
Note: These instructions apply to both the one wheel and two wheel
versions. One wheel kits will only require application of LunaGLO rim tape and
LEDs on one wheel.
Installation Introduction
The Lunasee PRO1000 Controller requires 0.4 Amps with a nominal 12 Volt DC
power supply.
The Lunasee 320 requires 0.15 Amps (no Controller is required).
Congratulations! Your new Lunasee Hi-Viz Wheel Lighting System is the most eye catching side lighting product on the market. The unique light signature of the system increases your nighttime safety by making your bike highly visible to other drivers. The system works by directing energy from compact LEDpods onto a thin, photoluminescent pinstripe (LunaGLO Rim Tape) on the wheel rim. As the wheel rotates past the LEDpods, the pinstripe absorbs light from the LEDpods, causing it to glow brightly. Only the pinstripe is mounted on your wheel rim – no wires or LED bulbs. The LEDpods are attached to the frame or fork and are typically hidden away. The result is a super clean look that is practically invisible by day and brilliant at night.
NOTE: Please read and follow these instructions carefully. It is important to install the components correctly and in the right order. While we do warrant against defects, we do not take responsibility for improper installation.

Installation Overview
These instructions are divided into 5 sections described below. Please familiarize yourself with this process and always complete in order. It is important to understand that the LEDpods must be targeted with precision at the LunaGLO tape on the rim and within certain distance parameters during normal riding taking into account any suspension movement or other moving parts. Please follow and read instructions carefully to avoid completing the installation and finding your LEDpods are not appropriately targeted.

IMPORTANT ITEMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
- LEDs emit UV light. NEVER look directly at the light source.
- Never touch the surface of the actual LED while handling and installing LEDs.
- PRO1000: Never connect LEDs directly to Power without Controller it may damage LEDs.
- PRO1000: When hooking up LEDs to Controller, please note that they are wired in pairs to the Controller (Port 1,2 and Port 3,4). BOTH LEDs in each pair must be wired to the Controller for the LEDs to function. A single LED of either pair will not function alone.
Section I: PRE-INSTALLATION
Please don’t install anything until you first read and understand this
section. In this section, you will make important decisions on the placement
and configuration of your Lunasee system components.
Step 1: Review parts
Please make sure all components are accounted for in your Lunasee Kit.
Step 2: Identify surface area on rim for applying LunaGLO tape
Identify the area of your rim to apply the LunaGLO tape. The surface should be
generally near the rim’s edge, but no closer than 1/8 inch to prevent damage
to the tape when changing the tire. The surface should be free of any
obstructions (such as spokes or balancing weights) around the perimeter of
your rim and should generally face the sides of the motorcycle.
Step 3: LEDpod placement considerations
Review the following LEDpod placement considerations. It is important to
understand that the LEDpods must be precisely targeted and positioned to
effectively charge the LunaGLO tape.
3.1 Targeting LEDpod
After identifying the location of the LunaGLO tape, you can now review the
ideal placement of your LEDpods to direct the beam of light directly on the
LunaGLO tape.
3.2 LEDpod clearance
LEDpod to LunaGLO tape distance: Lunasee recommends target distance between
LEDpod and LunaGLO tape to be 0.5” (see Fig 1 below). However, a range of
between 0.25” and 1.0” is acceptable provided that the LEDpods NEVER come in
contact with the wheel, tire or any other component during operation. Please
note that the greater the distance, the lower the brightness of the LunaGLO
tape at full charge. This distance should be consistent on each LEDpod
mounting location, and should consider clearance for tire/wheel removal if the
brackets cannot be loosened and moved during wheel removal.
3.3 Accuracy and suspension travel
Location: Whenever possible, mount LEDpods on components that travel with the
wheel with suspension travel so the LEDpod will remain targeted on the rim
tape during suspension travel. If this is not possible, mount LEDpods at 3
o’clock and 9 o’clock positions to minimize impact of the suspension travel
wheel movement on LEDpod targeting (see Fig 2 below). Check to make sure
suspension settings & travel does not cause LEDpods to come in contact with
any other part or surface on your bike, and that LEDpod will be targeted for
all typical suspension settings and travel.
TIP: When mounting LEDpods that will be affected by suspension travel, measure the difference of your motorcycle being weighted with the rider/bags before mounting LEDpods. This will ensure your LEDpods will be targeted correctly under normal riding conditions with the weight of the rider. If your bike has adjustable suspension, please check to ensure LEDpod targeting is appropriate for your range of suspension settings & suspension travel.
Step 4: Determine LEDpod mounting options
The purpose of this step is to determine which LEDpod mounting option is most
appropriate for each of the 4 LEDpods that will be mounted on your specific
motorcycle. Select a location that will allow you to place the LEDpod within
0.5” of the LunaGLO tape (or within the acceptable range in Step 3.2). Lunasee
recommends mounting LEDpods with Brackets mechanically whenever possible.
For Options B, C and D, you will be required to hand fit/shape a bracket to fit your bike. You may use the provided Paper Bracket Reference Tool to determine the appropriate bends/shape for your mounting locations and distances. Actual Bracket bending will not be done until Sec IV. Please see figures below for visual references. Please note that all Bracket shapes in the illustrations are examples only. You will need to determine the appropriate mounting location, position and bracket shape for your bike.
Option (A) – Direct mount LEDpods with adhesive, optional LEDpod Spacer
If your bike has suitable 1” square inch flat surface areas to direct mount
the LEDpods to a portion of the motorcycle you can do so without the use of
Brackets. A LEDpod Spacer is included and can be used between the LEDpod and
the mounting surface to achieve an acceptable distance between LEDpod and the
LunaGLO tape. The surface must NOT be on a part that gets excessively hot
(like exhaust).
Option (B) – Bracket mount to factory bolt
Solid factory bolt locations may be used, but these should NOT be structural
or mechanical mounting bolts – ONLY cosmetic mounting bolts.
Option (C) – Hose Clamp mount with Bracket and Hose Clamp Spacer
This option may be appropriate when there are no suitable factory bolt
locations, but when there are suitable fixed bars and rectangular sections
where an appropriately sized hose clamp can be used to anchor the Bracket.
Please note that a hose clamp is not included with the kit. Please purchase
and use a suitable hose clamp for the size and shape of the tube you are
attaching too. The rubber Hose Clamp Spacer is placed between your Bracket and
the surface you wish to mount your Brackets.
Option (D) – Angle Mount with 3M Adhesive and Bracket
This option may be appropriate when there are no suitable factory bolt
locations and there are no suitable locations for the Hose Clamp method, but
there needs to be a flat surface area (at least 1” x 2”) to adhere the Angle
Mount using 3M Double Sided Adhesive Tape. A Bolt and Nylock Nut will
ultimately be used to affix the Bracket to the Angle Mount.
Caution!
When placing LEDpods, please ensure LEDpods and Brackets will NEVER come in
contact with the wheel, tire or any other component during operation,
including full suspension travel.
LEDpod mounting options
Please note that these mounting options apply to both the PRO 1000 LEDpods and
the 320 QuadPods as both are the same diameter. The term “LEDpod” in these
instructions may apply to both PRO LEDpods or 320 QuadPods, unless otherwise
noted.
Please note that all Bracket shapes in the illustrations are examples only.
You will need to determine the appropriate mounting location, position and
bracket shape for your bike.
Option (A) – Direct Mount with Adhesive, optional LEDpod Spacer
Option (B) – Bracket Mount to Factory Bolt Option (C) – Hose Clamp with Bracket and Hose Clamp Spacer Option (D) – Angle Mount with Adhesive and Bracket
Section II: LunaGLO TAPE (sold separately) APPLICATION
How to apply LunaGLO tape
Please review this whole section before doing any installation of LunaGLO tape
(sold separately).
Step 5: Apply LunaGLO tape to Rim
Apply the LunaGLO tape on a suitable surface on the rim – at least 1/8” away
from the edge to prevent damage when tires are removed. Please see 3
application methods below. Acceptable application temperature range is 50○F–
100○F. For proper adhesion, the rim surface should be clean and dry. Do NOT
use WD40 or other similar lubricants to clean the rim as it will prevent
bonding of the adhesives. For heavily soiled rims, thoroughly clean the rim
and remove all dirt, oils and build. Clean the rim surface again with alcohol
wipes and dry before application. Keep excess LunaGLO tape for patching any
damaged spots that may occur during normal use.
Please note that within the first few minutes of the application, you can
rework tape in small areas to make adjustments. However, as with any pressure
sensitive adhesive, please avoid significant reworking as it may diminish
adhesive quality.
Note: LunaGLO tape begins to set in 15 minutes, and reaches full adhesion
strength within 72 hours.
It is helpful to use a center stand, lift, jack or wheel cleaning stand so
that you can rotate your wheels while applying the LunaGLO tape.
If you do not have access to these tools, it will be helpful to have someone
assist in periodically rolling your motorcycle to expose more of the wheel
during application.
If you purchased or received the optional LunaGLO tape Applicator Tool, there
are 3 methods to apply the LunaGLO tape to the rim.
Please review these methods below and determine which method is most suitable
for you and your bike. Lunasee recommends using the Applicator Tool with the
Alignment Leg (5.1) for rims with a right angle profile. This will depend on
the shape/profile of your rim. For more rounded rim profiles without right
angles, consider using the Applicator Tool with a cord (5.2). If you did not
purchase or receive the LunaGLO tape Applicator Tool, or neither 5.1 or 5.2 is
suitable, you can apply the LunaGLO tape by hand (5.3) without the Applicator
Tool.
5.1 Applying LunaGLO tape with OPTIONAL Tape Applicator tool & alignment
leg (see Fig 5.1)
The alignment leg may be used on many rim profiles that have a flat surface
to guide the Tape Applicator Tool along the rim. See Fig 5.1. To feed the
LunaGLO tape into the Applicator Tool see Fig 5.2. By pressing the Tool and
Alignment Leg against the rim as you move the tool along the rim, the LunaGLO
tape will apply evenly. Overlap ends by approximately 0.25” and trim excess
tape.
5.2 Applying LunaGLO tape with OPTIONAL Tape Applicator Tool & cord (see
Fig 5.3)
If the rim contour prevents easy use of the Alignment Leg, you may remove the
Alignment Leg from the tool and utilize the cord method. Wrap the Tape
Applicator Tool cord around a central point on the motorcycle wheel axis. Feed
the end of the cord back through the Cord Lock. Adjust the placement of the
Tape Applicator Tool on the rim by sliding the button on the Cord Lock, then
adjusting the length of the cord loop. See Fig 5.2 above for information on
how to properly feed LunaGLO tape into the Applicator Tool. Overlap ends by
approximately 0.25” and trim excess tape.
5.3 Applying LunaGLO tape by Hand (Fig 5.4)
Apply LunaGLO tape by hand just like applying any other wheel pinstriping. We
recommend applying about 1” at a time with care to ensure consistent
alignment. Make small marks on the rim if necessary for alignment.
Maintenance Note: Once the rim tape is applied, we recommend using mild
soap and water for future cleaning.
If you intend to use any harsh cleaning agents or chemicals on your
rims/wheels, use these at your own risk and we recommend testing it on a small
area first to make sure it does not impact adhesive properties of the LunaGLO
tape. For removal of the LunaGLO tape, use typical decal/adhesive removers as
well as heat. Keep any excess LunaGLO tape in the event you need to patch any
scratched or damaged areas.
Section III: PRELIMINARY WIRING
Wiring Installation
Please review this whole section before doing any installation and note
differences between PRO1000 version and 320 version. Do NOT cut wires to
length during this section. This will be done in Sec V.
Caution!
PRO1000 – never connect LEDpods to power source without the Controller – it
may damage LEDs.
Do not touch/press LED surface when handling/installing LEDs.
Step 6: Disconnect battery
Disconnect your battery. Never work on the electrical system of a motorcycle
while the battery is connected. If you’re not sure how, check your owner’s
manual, or consult your dealer or consider having your dealer install the
lighting system.
Step 7: Review mounting locations and wire routing/placement
Find locations where you would like to mount or connect the following
components in this order. 1. CONTROL BOX (Pro1000 version) or CONNECTORS (320
version), 2. SWITCH ASSEMBLY, 3. BLACK GROUND and RED POWER WIRE, and 4.
LEDpods. See Wiring Diagram 1 (PRO1000) or Wiring Diagram 2 (320). The PRO
Controller is water resistant, but not waterproof and should be located in a
space that protects the Controller from exposure to water/moisture.
Locate where you would like to run wires, ensuring there is room for
suspension travel. Turn handlebars from full lock side to side, and be sure
wiring does not get pinched or pulled at any point. Check for any loose
sections of wiring that may catch or snag on moving components. We recommend
running wires with existing wires when possible. Avoid running wires in places
that could interfere with routine maintenance procedures for your bike. Do not
mount or route any of the parts/wires along AM/FM antenna or parts. This may
cause radio interference.
Check to see if you have wire that is long enough to reach the appropriate
component locations. You may splice additional lengths of same gauge wire (not
provided) with additional Butt Splice Connectors if necessary. You may wish
get power through an accessory connection. Check your bike manufacturer or
dealer for accessory wire connections and connectors for your brand of
motorcycle.
PRO 1000 – Wiring Diagram 1
Lunasee 320 – Wiring Diagram 2
Step 8: Mounting/Locating Controller (PRO1000) or Cage Clamp Connectors
(320)
If possible, choose a location that is tucked away, hidden and generally dry.
[The Controller (PRO1000) is water resistant, but not waterproof. Excessive
moisture can cause the Controller to malfunction. The warranty does not cover
moisture related Controller problems.] Common locations may include underneath
the seat, behind access panels, etc. Use Zip Ties, adhesive or your own
mounting method to mount the Controller (PRO1000) in a location of your
choice.
Step 9: Mounting switch
Mount the Switch in a location of your choice. Mounting locations may include
battery access panels, handlebar mounts, etc. If necessary or desired, drill a
⅜” hole to mount the switch. Unscrew the rubber Switch Boot from Switch Body.
Insert Switch Body through hole from behind the mounting surface and then
reassemble the Switch Boot onto the Switch Body.
Step 10: Connecting switch wires to Controller (PRO1000)/Cage Clamp
Connector (320) and GROUND
PRO 1000: Using a Butt Splice Connector, connect one end of the black switch
wires to the black wire on the PRO 1000 Controller. For the 320, connect one
end of the black switch wire to one of the ports of a Cage Clamp Connector
(320), or use the provided Additional Black Wire if more length is needed.
Connect the remaining Switch wire to ground. You may choose to use the
included Ground Connector Ring or a ground wire. Any solid, bare metal
connection to frame will suffice. On coated surfaces, you will need to scrape
away a patch of paint to ensure your ground wire makes solid contact. (Having
the switch interrupt ground as described, not power, is the safest way to wire
the switch.)
Step 11: Fuse assembly
Cut the red fuse holder wire 3” from one end, separating the fuse holder
assembly into two halves. Strip 0.5” from each end of the red wire. Place fuse
inside the plastic holder, and reassemble the fuse holder halves by twisting ¼
turn to the right. (see Fig below)
Step 12: Connecting fuse Red POWER wire to Controller (PRO1000) or Cage
Clamp Connector (320) and to Power
PRO 1000: Using the included Butt Splice Connectors, connect the longest of
the fuse holder’s red wires to the red wire on the PRO Controller. 320:
Connect the longest of the fuse holder’s red wires directly to one of the
ports of the second Cage Clamp Connector, or use the provided Additional Red
Wire if more wire length is needed. For safety reasons, the fuse holder should
be within 3 inches of the connection to your power.
Connect the remaining Fuse Holder 3” red wire to power. Depending on your motorcycle model or your preference, you may connect to an accessory power wire, or may have the option to install a plug & play adapter plug specific to your model (not included). If you are unsure which wiring method is most appropriate for your motorcycle, please consult your dealer or bike manufacturer. Connecting directly to the battery positive terminal is an option, but we always suggest using an accessory power wire when possible.
If you connect power to your motorcycle’s accessory wire, the LUNASEE system will turn off both when the key is removed, as well as with the switch. If you connect to battery positive terminal, Lunasee must be turned off with the switch, as it will remain on even when the key is removed, continuing to drain the battery.
Caution!
Please consult your dealer if you are unsure of how to tap into the power on
your bike. Splicing into other accessory power wires may impact performance of
other accessories. Please do so at your own risk. Do not mount or route any of
the parts/wires right next to or on top of AM/FM antenna or parts. This may
cause radio interference.
Step 13: Temporarily connect & test LEDpod’s before trimming LEDpod wires
Before routing and cutting the LEDpod wires, connect each of the LEDpod wires
to the Controller or Cage Clamp Connectors as follows:
PRO1000: Connect LEDpod wires to Controller ports, connecting black wires
to negative (-) ports and white wires to positive (+) ports. Use Port 1 and 2
for the front wheel LEDpods and Port 3 and 4 for the rear wheel LEDpods. Each
(-, +) wire pair needs to connect to the same (-, +) port pair. The front and
rear LEDpods are wired in series; if one of the wires in Port 1 or 2 are not
connected properly, neither of the LEDpods will turn on. Check that all
connections are solid.
320: Connect LEDpod wires to the Cage Clamp Connectors, connecting all
black wires (-) to the Cage Camp Connector with
the black ground/switch wire, and all positive (+) wires to the Cage Clamp
Connector with the red power wire. Check that all connections are solid.
Reconnect the battery and press switch to activate the sysetm. Check each of the 4 LEDpods for a purple glow (DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE BULBS – see caution below.) Leave the LEDpod wires uncut and temporarily connected for the next step.
Caution!
The LEDpod is a UV light LED. Because the LED during operation radiates UV
light, precautions must be taken to prevent looking directly at the UV light
with unaided eyes. Do NOT look directly into the UV light or look through the
optical system. Never touch the LED surface when handling and installing the
LEDpods.
Section IV: BENDING BRACKETS AND MOUNTING LEDPODS
LEDpod Mounting
Please refer to Section I, Step 4 for detailed direction on the selection and
placement of Bracket. Be sure you have selected the appropriate Bracket size,
mounting option and location for each of the 4 LEDpods (Option A, B, C, or D).
LEDpods should still be connected to the controller with wires uncut and
turned OFF. Refer to Section IV Figures for visual reference for this section.
Step 14: Bending Brackets
If Brackets are required, lightly mark where each bend in the Bracket will be
based on paper cut out. Follow the process below, one Bracket at a time.
You may bend your Brackets using a variety of tools or methods. A bench vise, sturdy pair of pliers or the edge of a table can help create precise bends. Hold the Bracket in your vise or pliers with an edge of the vise or plier jaws along the line you wish to bend the Bracket. Avoid repeated bending of Bracket at one location, and do not use Bracket if visible cracks can be seen at the bend or if there is any weakness in the bend. Minor bending of Brackets may be done after attachment (Step 16) to fine-tune targeting and distances.
TIP: If you wish to paint your Brackets, do this after you have bent your Brackets and have tested the targeting position. Do not paint any surfaces that you will be applying adhesive tape.
Step 15: Attaching LEDpods to appropriate mounting hardware and brackets
By this point, you should know your mounting option and have any necessary
Brackets shaped accordingly for each location. Now it’s time to set up each
LEDpod with the right mounting hardware. Please follow the below order step by
step as it applies to the mounting option. Skip the step if it does not apply
to the mounting option you are working on.
ADHESIVES: When adhesives are being used, clean all surfaces with provided alcohol wipes and ensure surfaces are clean and dry.
Step 15.1: Attach LEDpods to Brackets (for Options B, C or D)
Clean the end of the Bracket where the LEDpod will be adhered. Using the 1”
Round Double Sided Adhesive circles, adhere the LEDpod to Bracket. Upon
completion, use a ziptie through the two oval slots in the bracket that are
located very close to the LEDpod and secure the pod wire to the bracket with
the ziptie. This should help relieve stress and also provide a backup security
to hold LEDpod to the bracket.
Step 15.2: Attach Bracket to Angle Mount (for Option D)
Knowing your placement using the M8 Angle Mount Screw and M8 Nylock, attach
Bracket to Angle Mount as shown below. Tighten securely, being sure there is
no movement between the Bracket and Angle Mount.
Step 15.3: Apply adhesive tape to Angle Mount (for Option D)
Remove ONLY one side of 1” x 2” adhesive backing and adhere to the back of the
surface of the Angle Mount shown below. Do NOT paint any surfaces of the Angle
Mount where you will be applying adhesive tape. Do NOT mount to frame until
STEP 16 and targeting is confirmed.
Step 15.4: Apply adhesive tape to LEDpod and optional LEDpod Spacer (for
Option A)
Remove ONLY one side of round adhesive backing and adhere to back surface of
the LEDpod. If using the LEDpod Spacer, adhere the Spacer to the LEDpod. Do
NOT mount LEDpod or other half of LEDpod spacer to frame until STEP 16 and
targeting is confirmed.
Step 16: Mounting LEDpods and Brackets to the Motorcycle
You should now have all 4 LEDpods and/or Brackets ready to mount to the
motorcycle. As in Step 15, follow the below steps in the order that apply to
the selected mounting option for each location. We recommend turning LEDpods
ON during these steps to assist with targeting of LEDpod on LunaGLO tape
during mounting. NEVER look directly at the LEDpod light.
Step 16.1: Mounting Brackets to factory bolt location (Option B)
Attach Bracket to the factory bolt locations. Solid factory bolt locations may
be used, but these should only be cosmetic mounting bolts – NOT structural
mounting bolts. All factory bolts should be re-tightened to factory spec,
using thread-lock and locking pins to prevent loosening. Avoid mounting to
plastic and loose or thin metal components. The Bracket must be secure and not
have any movement or risk of contacting the wheel. Check targeting and
distances. Minor bending of Bracket may be done to fine-tune targeting.
Step 16.2: Mounting Brackets to frame with Hose Clamp and Hose Clamp Spacer (Option C)
Step 16.2.1: Heat shrink on hose clamp
You may use Heat Shrink (not included) on the hose clamp to protect your
motorcycle frame. Put Heat Shrink around the Hose Clamp arm. If necessary,
trim heat shrink to expose enough of the gear slots to fully engage when
properly tightened on your mounting location. Follow the instruction on your
heat shrink packaging for shrinking. Use a heat gun or other heat source to
shrink the Heat Shrink into place.
Step 16.2.2: Hose Clamp Spacer
Place the Hose Clamp Spacer against your desired mounting location (regardless
if it is cylindrical or rectangular). The concave portion of the Hose Clamp
Spacer should be against the mounting location. Place the Bracket (bending
should be complete) onto the Hose Clamp Spacer using the raised circle as a
guide. DO NOT use a hose clamp without using the Hose Clamp Spacer.
Step 16.2.3: Hose Clamp
With the Hose Clamp Spacer and Bracket in the desired location, wrap the Hose
Clamp around the bar or tube you are mounting to, around the Hose Clamp
Spacer, and around the Bracket. Avoid putting the tightening mechanism on the
Bracket/Spacer block or sharp tubing corners. Tighten Hose Clamp screw until
all components are held firmly together. Check to make sure these components
are secure. Check targeting and distances. Minor bending of Bracket may be
done to fine-tune targeting.
Step 16.3: Direct Mounting LEDpods and/or Angle Brackets with Adhesive Tape (Option A and D)
Step 16.3.1: Mark placement of LEDpod, LEDpod with Spacer or Angle Mount
This step applies to both LEDpods that are direct mounted as well as Angle
Mounts. Before removing adhesive to mount the LEDpod, LEDpod with Spacer or
Angle Mount to the motorcycle, turn ON LEDpods, and mark the exact placement
on the mounting surface for proper targeting of LEDpod beam on the LunaGLO
tape.
Step 16.3.2: Mount LEDpod, LEDpod with Spacer or Angle Mount to
Motorcycle
Remove the remaining adhesive backing on the LEDpod, LEDpod Spacer or Angle
Mount and firmly press the component against the identified clean and flat
mounting surface as marked in Step 16.3.1. IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET THIS
MOUNTING LOCATION CORRECT AS THIS ADHESIVE WILL BOND IMMEDIATELY UPON CONTACT
and you will NOT be able to rework the location.
SECTION IV FIGURES
Option (A) LEDpod Direct Mount with Adhesive with Spacer Option (A) LEDpod Direct Mount with Adhesive (No Spacer)
Option (B) LEDpod with Bracket to Factory Bolt Location
Option (C) LEDpod with Bracket and Hose Clamp & Hose Clamp Spacer
Option (D) LEDpod with Bracket and Angle Mount
Maintenance Note: Please be careful not to disturb Brackets if either wheel is removed for maintenance. It may be necessary to move one or both LEDpods prior to removing the wheel to provide necessary clearance depending on your bike and configuration. This may require loosening bolts and rotating LEDpods/Brackets to provide additional clearance. If Angle Mount is used, please sure to hold the Angle Mount securely when tightening or loosening the bolts to avoid disturbing the adhesive bond. Always inspect all LUNASEE components periodically, and always after motorcycle service, to ensure all components are properly attached and secured. We recommend you advise your service technician about the LUNASEE components prior to service.
Section V: FINAL ROUTING/FINISHING OF LEDPOD WIRES AND SYSTEM TEST
Step 17: Routing LEDpod Wires and cutting to desired length
Caution!
Do not route any wires next to or on top of AM/FM antenna wires. This may
cause radio interference. Avoid potentially hot locations such as exhaust
pipes and engine cylinders.
Starting at the mounted LEDpod, run wire from each LEDpod to the Controller (PRO1000) or Cage Clamp Connectors (320) (not vice versa), being sure to leave enough slack to allow full movement of the motorcycle suspension. Whenever possible, run Lunasee wiring along other wiring harnesses or cables, fastening with Zip Ties along the way. Lunasee recommends using the provided Zip Ties to secure the wiring to avoid having long sections of unsecured wires. Do not route any of the LEDpod wires right next to or on top of AM/FM antenna wires. This may cause radio interference. Using Zip Ties, fasten loose wires to motorcycle frame or body components. Avoid potentially hot locations as exhaust pipes and engine cylinders. While running wires, check wiring to be sure there is room for suspension travel. Turn handlebars from full lock side to side, and be sure wiring does not get pinched or pulled at any point. Check for any loose loops in the wiring that may catch or snag on moving components.
Cut LEDpod wires as appropriate and strip 0.25” from each of the loose ends. Re-connect each of the LEDpod wires to their corresponding ports in the Controller (PRO1000) or Cage Clamp Connectors (320). Refer to Step 13 and Wiring Diagrams in Section III. For best weather resistance, apply dielectric grease to the wire ends at point of connection. Once connected, relieve strain on the connection by using Zip Ties to secure LEDpod wires approximately 2” from the connections to the Controller or Cage Clamp Connectors. PRO1000: Never wire LEDpods directly to battery without connecting to the Controller.
Step 18: Full system test
Check to see that all LEDs are coming on and LEDpods are all targeted on the
LunaGLO tape. Upon wheel rotation, the LunaGLO tape will quickly charge and
increase in brightness, and maintain constant level of brightness as long as
the motorcycle wheel is rotating. If necessary, you may fine-tune bracket
bends to ensure LEDpods are appropriately targeted at the LunaGLO tape, and
that the distance between LEDpod and LunaGLO tape is within the acceptable
range, and does not come into contact with any components during suspension
travel.
Congratulations on having one of the most visible motorcycles around! Ride safe!
