I actually bought the bike with that LED taillight on it. I have no idea what brand it is, likely some eBay special. I had to rewire things back there as it had a bunch of wire-nuts and wingdings holding it together.Quote:

Sorry, I wish I could tell you the brand - but there's nothing on it (IIRC). It's urethane, it's painted, it flexes, it's a "taillight".
I will double-check it to verify there's no branding but I'm pretty sure it was a generic piece likely made at some point.
This is the only "name" or branding I could find on the taillight - I tried searching for that and couldn't find anything. My Google-Fu might be off, so I hope this might help you out.

IMO the best bang-for-the-buck and super bright LED taillight for XB's is the stock '08-up one. NO turn signals though.
Theres a more expensive option at "superbrightLEDs" that does have the signals in it. Still vastly better than E-bay stuff.

Very rare unit
I read the reviews and found this one the most compelling.
Great product! I bought one for my girlfriend and one for myself and we couldnt be happier. Now people can safely see us on our motorcycles as we deliver joy and happiness during our motorcycle adventures throughout the west coast.

Thats what happens to people who move to Florida ^^^^
I SWEAR theres a state subsidy to make alcohol cheaper there and I'm not even joking.
Ah I see...Attachment 15048
Man I love FL - used to go to Eglin, Hurlburt Field, and Tyndall (once) when I was in the USAF - went every year. I wanted to move there instead of TX but my wife hated the humidity...and doesn't like beaches.............................
What part of TX? I used to live in Houston and it was just silly humid. I had been told that it was on par with Miami ... but I’ve never been to Miami, so it’s here say.
I'm in the DFW area- north of DallasQuote:

Anyways, if you find the parking lot that GTOger posts videos from you could have a few minutes of fame.
I used to watch 8-Bit guy he's over in Richardson I think. I've been to Deep Ellum several times. Hipster's paradise lol. I'm not a hipster...Quote:

What brand of flyscreen is that? I've been considering getting one for the methbuell, but the carbon parts I've been seeing have been less than impressive... even the OE Buell branded ones. Just very thin and flimsy.
Also, what turn signals are those?

And the blinkers I'm pretty sure came from Dime City back in the day:
