Title: Motobox LED tail light
Post by: drval85 on May 26, 2016, 05:36:33 PM
Ordered this from Belissimoto a LONG time ago. Received last week, and I finally got it installed.  It's brighter in person, definitely noticeable.  No safety concerns, even though it's not DOT approved.


The LED for the license plate was out when I received it, Josh from Motobox was very helpful and shipped one out immediately.  Great customer service.

It's expensive.  No way around that.  But the final look is so much more modern than the usual integrated LED tails. It was worth every penny to me.

I'll take photos of the actual unit/plate holder and update later.

How does it attach?  It looks like it sits above the frame?

It attaches using the 2 bolts that also hold the under tray in place. I'll take photos tomorrow.

Sweet mod and ride, I have a red M695 with the low Mivv's and a competition werks tail chop kit waiting for install.  Did this light include a wiring harness?

The tail light side of the harness is fully assembled.   You need to swap the connector on the bike side.  So you cut off the old connector, use the supplied crimp terminals, and put them into the new connector. 

You could probably just as easily take the connector off the new tail light and swap it for the older model connector.  Mine was already cut, so i didn't try that.

I've seen something similar before, but with only one row of LEDs. I think that looks great. Definitely completes a "minimalist" look.

These will have to do for now.  I'll uninstall and take clearer photos tomorrow hopefully.

The bracket gets sandwiched between the frame on top and the under tray on the bottom using the indicated holes.

Mine arrived assembled as shown.   Installation was 2 bolts, and changing the harness on the bike end using the included crimp connectors.
