Looks good.  How is the visibility of the clear alternative integrated signals?

Very good, running light and brake light are actully brighter than stock.  Signals are also very bright.

Do the signals in the intigraded light flash yellow, or do they flash red?

I LOVE the black model  :thumb:

Looks good, except for those reflectors...... unbolt those from the front and back.

Oh and take a heat gun to those warning stickers on your frame and swingwarm.

Than it will look mint.

Yea, i was thinking of something to do with those reflectors, but then i decided since iv taken the stock signals off i want to atleast have those to stay somewhat visible.  But im sure once spring comes around ill figure out something to do with them

I really want to buy the integrated tail light, but the '89-'00 one I don't like , its too white. Are there any others out there?

I've seen a how to on a CBR forum where someone used the wiring from a trailer lighting kit to turn his stock taillight into an integrated one. I think the kits are only $20 at Wally world. Thoght about doing that myself, but then I just stuck a couple LEDs into my taillight as blinkers, they look pretty good too.

How did you do the LED mod? I would be interested in doing that. Was it easy?

So did you make that tailight or did you buy it?  If you bought it, where can I get one.  If you made it, how'd you make it.  I want one of those.

I've been trying different LED's in the brakelight. I've also thought of using flushmounts directly on the rear plastic, kind of below and forward of the grab bar (facing rear of course).

Then some shorty LEDs for up front signals, and possibly a 'neon' engine kit which would be LED of course also.

I want to be BRIGHT on my morning commute.

Any thoughts on the rear facing flushmounts ON THE PLASTIC ?

It would work...but if your going to do that, just make your stock ones shorter.  They are brighter than any flushmount you will buy.
