Could someone please tell me if there is an LED version similar to this UFO tail light kit shown below that would work for a 2008 SM610ie? I have used the search function and only found wiring issues and LED only tail light swaps. I am tired of broken turn signals and for some reason (likely vibration) my running light will not stay on (brake light does illuminate though), please help me CafeHusky family before I get ran over at night on the highway!
The inner part of the brake light is the same as a buell Xb tail light. So if you don't want to make your own. Look for one that will work on a buell. Here is one that is a little expensive. you can have the directionals integrated as well, and very good build quality: http://www.xblights.net/products.html Hope that helps. Brian
According to the vehicle code, turn signals need to be a certain distance apart. I'm sure any integrated signals in a tail light assembly are an excuse for a cop to pull you over and ticket you if they feel like it.
Thanks Brian, I saw the Buell tail light swap on the SuperMotoJunkie website but obviously the cost is far from double digits and I would like to stay under $99 including installation. MNB the UFO kit pictured in the first post is legal and an example of what I wanted. For the same reasons you mentioned I am not looking for a tail light with the turn signal lights integrated into the same tail light (brake/running light).
I went for one of these on my 610 : Link DRC Edge, It looks like a OEM unit, Fitment is ok although I did drill through the rear fender to add another bolt. Regards Gav
Yes, this is correct and I thought about it when I changed out my Beta to LED lights. Left the Husky alone as there was no need to modify the lights except for esthetics. We'll see which, if any bike gets the ticket. I see a lot of this so I'm pretty sure most cops are not targeting us.
