Has anyone else looked at this tail light or have any pics of it on a bike?

I was browsing eBay last night for Kat things and stumbled upon this tail light. I'd love to get it for my fender delete but I'd hate it if it looked like crap. Has anyone else tried this one before and have any pics of it?

Thanks.

i got it and love it. much brighter than stock tailight. took 15 mins to install. Had it over a year and its still working great. I get compliments on it all the time!

Oh wow, it does look pretty awesome. Well that settles it, time to buy. :P

That light does look good! Did I not just introduce myself to the forum and say I wanted to keep the bike looking stock?! The bug is biting!!!!

I just did mine using Beachflyers electrical schematic .
Took me an hour to do the integrated tail light .I was taking my time and did the heat shrink tape and fuddled with it but well worth the installation.
Its in my prof now .Mines an 05 but cant be much diff
Besides ,screw it up and were here ......for a while till you pi$$ us off

Do it .That ones cheaper than mine was .Id buy it

good luck

It looks pretty easy, what, 5, 6 wires? I can see it being common ground with switched 12v+ or just each piece has its own 12v + and -?

This tail light is really easy to install. I am not great with electrical stuff, but this was a matter of a few wires and if I remember right the directions cover everything you need. Mine blinks fast so be aware of that. If you don't like the fast blinkers you can buy a resistor to fix the problem. I liked the fast blink so I didn't change it. I have had it on the bike over a year.

well to each their own. My personal definition of "Ride Your Own Ride" goes beyond just standard group riding rules - I don't nag others about safety gear or fugly mods.

Now those integrated lights look ok... until you use them. I just don't think that turning half your brakelight orange really counts as a turn signal. Have you thought about putting additional led turn signals in the footpegs? Popular idea around here, search for more info.

[beachflyer]

on this light the turn signals are actually triangles in orange and VERY noticeable. and there is still plenty of RED when braking and having the turn signal blinking.

I didnt use resistors either, i like the look of the fast blinking and think cagers notice it better too.

some of my friends with gxsrs and such have integrated LED tails too but their turn signals look like a huge mess when on and i cant tell which way they are going but this one is very easy to tell left and right.

and for the price you cant beat it. Most sell for around 100.00 or more

I just need some front clear turn signal covers now.....

beachflyer,

Have you ever had problems with cars behind you seeing it on really sunny days? I had a problem once I am not sure if the guy was just an idiot or if he couldn't see it.

Yea..I really don't like the idea of integrating them into something I really want people to look at before noticing I'm turning...I want them to see I'm slowing down first lol
