LED tail light

[oldschoolsdime92]

Does anyone have an LED tail light, with the integrated turn signals? Has anyone integrated teh turn signals into the tail light? I would love to get my turn signals off the rear.

I put a tail light integrator on mine.. I bought the expensive "Sport Bike Tail Light Integrator". Later I found out you can do it on the cheap...

Thats pretty neat. Hows it working out for you?

A word of caution. Whilst you will clean up the appearance of the bike, how clear can a driver or rider behind you see your turning intention. I have followed a rider on a 1050 sprint with the integrtaed set up and i found that in normal sunlight i really had to concentrate to work out which way he was wanting to turn. For my brain I reckon the integrated setups that I have seen are dangerous and offer the rider little security from being taken out by a following vehicle. Cheers and enjoy the ride.

I notced this also. I think I will probably end up putting the clear alternatives covers on and shortening the stalk up just alittle bit on the stock turn signals.

I have the CA integrated tail light unit on my 06. While never hearing of anyone being rear ended due to one, I had read of others questioning their effectiveness. That sort of set a "nag" in my mind. So, after running the CA for about year, I installed a Lockhart Phillips Stealth Plate Frame on the bike. The LEDs in the frame are the flat high intensity type, and impossible to ignore. That, along with the CA erased the "nag".

Results: cleaned up the rear end by getting rid of the turn signal stalks, more LEDs in the tail light as compared to stock, increased turn signal indications with the plate frame.

OnD thats the best answer yet. I think I will go with that! Could I please see a picture of yours?

Pic is reflective of my camera skills. Should just go ahead and buy a point and shoot.

But, here it is on an 06.

There is more distinction between the yellow and red in real life, but there is not a distinct demarcation between the two. I believe that may be what concerns some folk.

Another consideration is that some states have laws about the distance between turn signals. I have not had a problem with it and I have done several S.E. states with it. As far as Fl goes, I often ride with a deputy and he has never mentioned it.

that looks great. I think ill probably go with the licences plate route! and do away with my bulky turn signals!
