SO I'm looking at the Light Werkes "Integrated" Tail Light that basically gets rid of those ugly rear turn signals and moves em into the tail light. Does anyone know if it's legal here in NM?
   Huh?

Legal: yes
Works: yes, But, I had two go out within' 700mls.

Went back to stock & hid led's in the back grills of my 1098

Edit: None are also legal here. All you have to have here are, head & taillights (with brake) and 1 mirror.

Technically, a license plate light is also required, but who's counting?   Wink

The Supersport is mildly illegal.  No mirrors.  Something I'll probably be ticketed for next time I get pulled over for speeding.

Mirrors are virtually useless on bikes, IMHO.

wait. what about the warranty? now a days the avg LED life is like at least 20,000 hrs. ?!

you didn't contact the manufacturer? or did it take you at least 20,000 hours to go 700mls?

I've ridden with him before. It might look like 700 miles, but what he really did was circle the globe plus another 700. Slight difference

Nice Jesus,  I can say the same for you. That rip through the canyon in Colorado with, you, beemerD & Goduc was as good as it gets in my book. You had that 2V'r screamin' waytogo   

How's your lady?  I think about you both a lot.  When I heard the Marble brewery comment I thought of you guys. 

Ms. M,  Yes the lights have a warranty, but when you run the dealership, and can't even get outa town because of a f'n tail light...I'm out.    I just want shit that works.

Save your money for a great set of tires.

Pilot 2CT's   But that's a whole diff. thread.

i have the integrated turn/brake/tail/license plate (led) tail light... it works great! (minus the fact that i dont have front turn sigs so it blinks fast, but i almost never use them anyway) i think i got it from monsterparts.com but that was like 2 years ago. i also got my clip-ons from there.
