Anyone have a integrated tail light plus led turn signals?

Work in what regard?

I've had two, both worked. The current better than the past.. but it's not any sort of techno-wizardry. It's just a different placement of the light.

-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

It will work fine, but I have an idea....

If your integrated turn signal light is the sequential type - how about soldering a lead from the outer LEDs to the new outside lights? The turning signal sequence will start from closest to the center and finish with a signal in your new light...

That is a good idea! hmmmm

I also might just not use the sequential part of the tail light. I will mess with it this weekend and report back.

Thanks for the replies.

+1 ^ An easy mod did it on mine ,just stripped the wire back with a blade soldered in the indicator wire and finnished with heat shrink  [thumbsup] , and it really improves visability also keeps the  [leo] happier

My people skills are just fine.
It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.

After messing with my options. I ended just disconnecting the turn signal wires to the tail light and running those wires to the turn signals. All I really had to solder 2 ground lines from the ground to the tail and add connectors. So the tail light does it's blink and stop only.

I went with the Barracuda SILUR e-marked LED Aluminum Turn Indicators the quality looked a little better in the photo but they're very bright.

Next I'm thinking of some stripe of 6 tiny leds to stick on my plate to give the bike a little more stopping light.

Then my tail chop clean up will be complete. Thanks again for your feedback.
