Tail light

I have read horrible reviews of the led intergrated tailights, my question is does anybody know where to get a dark smoke tail light lens? or would the intergrated led and a added led strip for the brake be the way to go?

Re: Tail light

I have the integrated LED and have not had any problems with it. I also have the Two Bros FE kit with Turn signals. You can try KneeDraggers.com for the smoke lens.

Re: Tail light

Sidebar: In case you don't know, PITA to change out the lens. It's not like an "ordinary tailight lens" change operation (no engine removal required, however).

If you want to keep the LED thing going, I think the Watsen design LED would work on those fairings and make the installation of them easier as well.

Re: Tail light

i have the integrated led tail light, i am a little confused you are worried about the brightness of the led's yet you want to go with a smoked lens... that does not make a whole lot of sense..... makes about as much sense as the black turn signal covers taht dont come off at night or very dark tinted windows at night......

Re: Tail light

Thats what I was asking, People with the smoked lens with intergrated led tail to let me know if it was a brightness issue. If I found enough saying that it was plenty bright I would buy. It seems that some people want to be smarta$$'s rather than lend a helping hand. Thanks to those of you that actually said that you had these type tail lights and gave good info to help a fellow rider out.
