Title: LED strip tailight - Has anyone seen it? Post by: jamanta on August 27, 2009, 07:52:36 AM hi guys and gals,
someone at my work has a ducati paul smart, and i was checking it out in the parking lot the other day and i thought he had no tail light. i saw him riding out the day after and he has a very thin and bright tail light like a LED strip similar to this: http://tinyurl.com/mo24g7 (http://tinyurl.com/mo24g7) . You cannot see it at all, only when he presses the brakes. i thought that looked pretty cool. the product above is just some sort of accent light. does anyone know if a tail light that actually exists or something he may have fabricated? i think they would look very cool on a monster! my monster [thumbsup] thanks Title: Re: LED strip tailight - Has anyone seen it? Post by: ProTeal55 on August 27, 2009, 08:38:34 AM I used to sell tons of them to Victory owners (worked @ a BigDog/Victory dealer)..
(http://www.customdynamics.com/Images/victory_vegas_new_led_turns.jpg) The link to their site is:http://www.customdynamics.com/victory_vegas_motorcycle_led_turn_signal_lights.htm (http://www.customdynamics.com/victory_vegas_motorcycle_led_turn_signal_lights.htm) I am sure it could be adapted to a Monster (or any other bike 4 that matter)....Title: Re: LED strip tailight - Has anyone seen it? Post by: jamanta on August 27, 2009, 08:45:34 AM that's exactly what i was talking about! [clap]
does that work as the tail light and integrated turning signals or just as the turning signal? can this be shaped to fit a monster tail? thanks! Title: Re: LED strip tailight - Has anyone seen it? Post by: ProTeal55 on August 27, 2009, 09:02:27 AM I believe you can order it to function as a running lite/brake lite and turn signals (check the link above)...
As far as fitting on a monster goes, it def. seems as if you would have to modify it for your specific application. Do some searching around, I am sure the place above isnt the only company to make something like this... Title: Re: LED strip tailight - Has anyone seen it? Post by: pennyrobber on August 27, 2009, 09:38:52 AM There was a guy who made the ones specifically for the sport classics. A buddy of mine has the same set up on his Sport 1000. Check over on Ducati.ms (I know its VS but hey) in the sport classic section and I am sure you can find more info.

" HAHahahahahHAH.. You're joking, right? Most of the mod'ed bikes on this forum sure are far from DOT approved... First thing the new guys get razzed about is removing all their reflectors! I can tell you first hand those FLEDAs are SUPER bright. Much brighter than stock lighting in most cases. A small manufacturer just isn't able to get DOT approval I'm sure.

I didn't know that one was out there. I've already ordered a license plate light as the one on my S4RS works about 3% of the time but sucks visually always. |
