New brighter LED tail light

mncruiser · 05-14-2009, 03:52 PM

Last year I went with the clear tail light and the wife was following me on her bike and mentioned that the light is pretty weak. I have looked at some of the larger ones with more LED lites on them. Since this is a 2 bulb setup, I am worried about ordering two of the larger bulbs with them sitting right next to each other and possible touching/bumping etc.

Has anyone else found a good solution or been down this road before me?

not on a 1500 , i own a 1600. only one bulb in there.

Yeah 1 bulb was a shocker, as I have never seen a single bulb on a bike rear tail light before.

No second chance I guess... Well not until one of you guys gets a bug up somewhere dark and creates a another bulb added in there

Thats one of the reasons I added my Knight Rider LED Light Bar from Custom Dynamics. It is an attention getter running down the road, flashes when I put on brakes then glows red. Between the normal brake light, and this one, I should have visibility...unless a fuse blows.

I put red strobe light from LSH on my bike. It's the same strobe you see on Police cars flashing when the park on side of road. has 12 diferent flah programes built in but I use the standard 3 quick-pause-3 quick flashes for brake. Everybody knows when I put my brakes on! $65
