tail light

Do you feel there is enough visibility?
Thanks for your thoughts!!
My people skills are just fine.
It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.

i am and now so is the wifey.  It's the brightest I think for the money and the pulsing is the attention grabber I wanted for doing those stopies.  :P

I just got one a couple weeks ago, loving it so far.  I'm not using the turn signal section of the light just the brake light, I have frame plug leds on the bike.  I really like the three pulses when you first hit the brake.

i contacted them this spring and they mentioned a 696 version was coming this summer, just called them now, they said its been pushed back a couple months due to problems. I want one though. i like how the turn signals sweep, instead of blink.

Looks pretty cool.  It doesn't seem like it has an integrated license plate light?

It doesn't - get the one for the Buell Blast. It works perfectly and has integrated license plate LED's.

I had one that stopped working after a few months. I sent it back and they sent me a new one free of charge.  [clap]

I'm using it as well, I like it better than the clear alternatives option, and it's much cheaper than a Vizitec, which if money were not an object . . .

What's the deal with no 696/796/1100 love?  I've been waiting on ViziTec for 2 years now to make one for the new line ... I'd be perfectly fine if these guys were able to do it.  Come on people, do it already!!  [evil]

Yes. I get about one email every couple of weeks from someone on here asking for a M696/1100 version. In all honesty, I would LOVE to make a Vizi-Tec version for the new Monsters!
There are some newer more efficient LED devices on the market that would go well with the design i have in mind. It would be something between the SN490i and the HSi tail lights! A third generation if you will.

So why don't I do it? Bottom line = $$$$$
1. I can't find OEM clear/smoked plastic lens housing that will fit the M696/1100. (~$30K tooling to make my own plus min buy!)
2. For something like this, it needs to be a labor of love. Return on investment is low. This is due to the extreme low sales volume and higher production costs. Sure i could make something cheaper using 20-40 or so cheaper $0.12, 45mW 1970's technology LEDs??? But that's been done already.
3. Want to move away from LED lights and onto more complex designs such as RF/GPS and motor related products.

For the time being, i don't see any stock replacement M696/1100 VT Integrated tail light in the near future. What i can say is that there is something in the works with MotoCreations for a complete integrated rear end replacement!
