Looking for a integrated taillight and found

[Renner]

So I was about to order a Bikelitez integrated taillight when I came across these

motodynamic

http://www.motodynamic.com/product_i...roducts_id=227

Who has experience with these? Are they bright enough, or at leads as bright as stock? Any pros/cons or any comparison with the Bikelitez ones?

Thanks for the heads up!!

[massacremasses]

I really like the way the turn signals are sequential and not all at once, thats I was I was attracted to these. I like plug n play also, but cutting a coulees wires makes for more interesting nights :thumb up:

Well i guess no one on here has these so I will take a shot order them and see what happens

[Renner]

Just placed my order...I will install these this week and let you guys know how they are. As long as the LED is bright I can't see any issue with these.

I'm looking to order as well, let us know!

I believe a modulator would let you do the sequential thing that you wanted? But idk, haven't gotten an integrated one yet -.-

I don't know whats needed all is the ones I ordered already do sequential and also 3 quick flashes when you hit the brake. Those were the 2 things I wanted and to get them for under $80...not to bad!

I will post a review and pics asap!!

Well I got my taillight today and installed it...SUPER EASY..no cutting required, all plug n play. Done within 20 min if you don't run into any problem like I did see below and you won't have any issues

If you have the bike master flushmounts which come with 23w bulbs you HAVE TO replace the bulbs with 10W or else the sequential turn signals will not work...found this out the hard way after a hour and then finally a call to motodynamics. Also if you have after market LED front turn signals you have to make sure you have the correct resistors installed.

If you have stock front turn signals, you are all good to go and should have these put in in under 20 min

Here are some pics.

This is what comes in the box:


Stock Signals with Rear Fender Chop


SIDE VIEW


LED Installed OFF


LED Installed On


Rear Fender Chop with LED Installed


Finished Product


I will say for under $80 and having the sequential turn signal option as well as the 3 quick blasts option when pressing the brake...these are HARD TO BEAT!

I see no need on ordering any of the other higher priced ones as of right now.

Any questions let me know!

[PsHYk]

nice i think im gonna have to sell the one i just ordered cus its not plug and play thats cool and thanks for the heads up about the flush mounts im about to order those...

[Jinx]

Well thats all I needed to see! Order placed

[beninja]

thanks for the pictures and update! ordering soon!

I guess sequential looks cool but gotta keep in mind the safety factor. Customled FTW

It is just a bright and I actually think safer since it is something that goes from the center of the taillight towards the direction you are turning...just like construction lights

[broilmebk]

I guess you didn't read the article i linked? Eh, whatever anyway. To each their own. Either way, it's better/brighter than stock

With the 3 strobe pulse from the brake light while braking which you would do immediately before making your turn in most cases...I do not see how this would be less safe as the driver behind you would see that from a far distance...but again this is just my opinion and everyone will have their own.

I have this light on my R6, and have never had any problems with it. I went with the clear lens just to be a bit more visible. Wasn't sure about the strobe on the brake light at first, but the only thing anyone has said about it is.. "Hey I think your brake lights about to go out." as we're sitting at a stop light. On the up side at least I know it got their attention.

I told my son he has to ride with his factory signals on for awhile before I put one of these in his 250. He's a new rider and I just want to make sure he's as safe as possible.

I don't see how putting a brighter tail light will make him any less safe? Just keep all other stock turn signals and add this LED tail and it will only make him more noticed on the road.

I meant adding the tailight and removing his stock signals. His riding doesn't worry me (he's raced motocross since he was 4). It's the other people on the road that I'm worried about.

no amount of lights will get rid of that, turn signals or not, thus not much can be done besides being the best rider you can be.

Whats this black wire got going on here you think obviously the connectors but then what is that little black box thing? Fuse or resistor or something? I just got my light in and thinking of hoping to find the stock connectors and and copying that black wire im just not sure what it would be that i need.

+1 for motodynamics, I have one on my r6.
plug and play, looks great and works flawlessly.

Just make sure you get an LED flasher.

Thinking of getting one for my moms 250

Seriously for the price you can't beat it!

Not DOT approved, so good luck in the event of an accident.

[imataiwanezz]

I was thinking about getting them but seeing as how they aren't DOT approved and I ride on base... But I see alot of guys on base who have them as well.

I think I remember reading somewhere on the forums where they said that the brake lights must be a certain distance from the blinkers.

Not sure if this is actually true or just information out off someones ass.

[imataiwanezz]

Hmm never heard of this

[Mountain Dew]

I wasn't talking about safety inspections (although there is a minimum distance between signals, which IIRC is 7"). I was talking about fault and ticketing in the event of an accident.

To my knowledge, DOT requirements are only enforced during import and inspection. The one guy complaining about the cop saying the accident was his fault for having an integrated tail light was not "ticketed" or "cited" for violating the DOT reg. "Following too close" or "too fast for conditions" apply even with no lights what-so-ever because it applies to any obstruction (not just vehicular). A bicycle doesn't have DOT brake lights and turn signals yet is entirely street legal and NOT at fault when rear-ended.

The DOT stamp on a helmet doesn't automatically make helmets required in all states.

The law: US Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Part 571, Standard 108 states that turn signals must be amber or red and must be at least 9" apart, center-to-center. If signals are red, their edges must be at least 4" away from the edge of the tail light.

There are no federal traffic police.

DOT is a Federal regulation for someone to SELL an item as street legal. Once the item is purchased it is the State that takes over regulations.

In IL..there are no motorcycle inspections, no helmet law and hell we don't even need turn signals to be legal LOL...crazy but true!!

As long as you can see the brake light from 100 feet away it is legal in IL

Maybe in HI but not in IL...by law we don't even have to have turn signals on a motorcycle
