slick97spirit Posted January 2, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2009 I paid about 25 bucks for mine. Mine blinks off and on when hitting the brakes and rotates when not applying the brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary N. Posted January 2, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2009 http://radiantz.com/cart/index1.html?c16.html&1 This is the one I used. I kept the red lense and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadhand Posted January 2, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2009 Bought mine from Signal Dynamics. Looks to be the same as what Gary purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_One Posted January 2, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 2, 2009 Had the one from Signal dynmanics as well. You won't find a better tail light. I too used it with the red lens. It's a HUGE improvment over the stock bulb for sure. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMIKE Posted January 2, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 2, 2009 I first had a couple of the LED bulb that goes in a circle for a running light and does the back off flash when the brake was applied. I had one in my RSMV and my son's VStar. I was following him and could not really get a big distinction if the brakes were on or not. I replaced the RSV with one from custom Dynamics. Easy to install...about $58-59. it has the Genesis LED's that are really bright. http://www.customdynamics.com/Yamaha_tail_retro.htm I removed the swirly LED from the Vstar and replaced it with a 2057 which is brighter than a 1157 till I can do better. I will sell these 2 swrilly LED's if someone wants to try them. Used very little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stvmaier Posted January 3, 2009 Share #7 Posted January 3, 2009 I just installed the one that CMIK gave you a link to. It's amazing, way better than I expected. I also installed the brake light modulator at the same time.....worth every penny!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3FOL Posted January 3, 2009 Share #8 Posted January 3, 2009 I just ordered the same Genesis LED tail light for the Venture a few minutes ago. Originally I was going for the HD 68230-97B auxilliary light, but I kept changing my mind. I like it this way, since I did not have to mess with the wiring of my Venture. Your post inspired me to purchase one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAINEAC Posted January 3, 2009 Share #9 Posted January 3, 2009 I think some people are refering to a L.E.D. bulb... http://www.global-b2b-network.com/direct/dbimage/50279488/LED_Bulb.jpg Those don't work real well in a RSV because the bulb is aimed straight up... The circuit board type LED I bought on ebay with a smoked lens for $60 but it didn't have any white lights on top to light up my plate... So I got a LED plate frame that works real nice but cost an extra $35... http://clearalternatives.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/LED-38-IT.jpg http://www.highgearhobbies.com/estore/images/CTL/CTL-0038-S.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31J0V0u6%2BLL._SL500_AA280_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3FOL Posted January 9, 2009 Share #10 Posted January 9, 2009 I just installed the one that CMIK gave you a link to. It's amazing, way better than I expected. I also installed the brake light modulator at the same time.....worth every penny!!! I installed my Custom Dynamics LED Taillight this morning. The difference is really very noticeable during the day. On my way home tonight, it is really bright as a running light and much more brighter once I use my brakes. This is money well spent:mo money:. My led lamps for the front and rear Amber also arrived yesterday and will be installing them tonight. I also ordered the Signal Conditioner as a kit. Hopefully the flashing is not too fast...if it is...I will have to install the signal conditioner at a later time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAINEAC Posted January 9, 2009 Share #12 Posted January 9, 2009 No I don't... But all I did was turn the key on and poked my tester into the wires until I found one that lit the bulb and used that... You're gonna love the lighted frame it does a blue-white glow to the back of the bike... http://www.annco.com/products/images/web/tg-01057300.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaking Posted January 17, 2009 Share #16 Posted January 17, 2009 I used this one on my V star and it was great.I sold it when I upgraded the tail light but am planning on getting another one soon. it is great and has the license light http://motoled.com/shop.html I have of the first prototypes he put out.. has a dual plug inside for normal intensity lighting and insanely blinding lighting.. hehe.. of course I keep it on high all the time.. it's brutally intense and wide angled.. I took it off the VStar and put it on the venture right away.. (VStar being modded this winter).. If you can get your hands on one.. they're awesome.
