wow, huge pic, but pretty seksy if you ask me.
What LEDs, light cover, and turns signals did you use?
I'm curious:
If you stand 50-100 feet behind your bike at night, and point a flashlight at the rear, do you see any RED reflection? (Guess you could perform the same test with a car.)
That's what most drivers would recognize as the rear of a vehicle, which might be helpful when parked. And in Oregon (don't know about your state laws) it's actually a requirement to have the taillight incorporate a red reflector.
For what it's worth... :dunno:

yeah, i've heard it kinda reflects and can barely be seen if a car is following too closely. the farther away the car, the more visible it is. so i just leave them behind far enough to see me :thumb:
taillight is for a cbr11xx 97-98 with a slight modification, both leds have 52 clusters in them so that's 104 total which makes them very bright.
the signals are short stalk 2 dual filament but i didn't connect the running light. they are brighter than stock.
I like the turn signals. Where did you pick those up? How difficult to install?
thanks! :)

bought them from
parts411.com 20$ for a pair of carbon fibers, they have different color casing as well. wasn't difficult to install at all. direct bolt-in. cut off the wire from the stocks and reconnect with your new ones. very easy.
