Looks good. Is it legal?

bae13 · May 27th, 2009, 06:32 AM

Easy dun, ill get onto the DIY side of things soonish. already taken the fotos on the off chance i screwed sumthing up, then i could go back and see what happened. but all in all, im in love with the light. looks HOT!

bae13 · May 27th, 2009, 06:34 AM

Just like everything else on the bike and car. depends on the cop.

Haha I dunno about that...cop legally can't write you a ticket for a DOT approved aftermarket tailight or headlight.if he does...I mean they can always DO anything pretty much...you plead not guilty and go to court and win...if it is DOT approved that is. So the question is...are these DOT approved? if it is it should say so someplace on the light, I believe?

Our manufacturer makes complete replacement tail light units for European suppliers. Therefore their tail lights have CE approval. However, as a minimum distance is required between turnsignals, Integrated Tail Lights do not have a road legal approval (apart from some states in the US and Canada where the same restrictions do not apply).

I have just checked five of our clear alternatives tail lights and they do not have DOT approval.

headshrink · May 27th, 2009, 09:28 AM

How bright are they compaired to OEM lights? It looks bright in the video, but I know the camera doesn't really give a good indication.

Do the break lights modulate? I assume I could add my existing one if not....

Any idea on price yet?

Pretty sure there will be a group buy thread soon

Looks better than I expected by the way!

randomwalk101 · May 27th, 2009, 01:58 PM

Another nice accessory

I like it! Now, I know most people do these to get rid of the stock signals, but I'm one of the folks who wants to be as visible as possible... would it work in conjunction with the stockers?

It should without any problem

kappuru · May 27th, 2009, 10:15 PM

I'll be taking pictures of this soon and I have a HD camera, I'll upload it to youtube in 720P for you guys. Also I should be getting some moving images as well.

Bikemonkey · May 28th, 2009, 04:52 AM

tinng321 · May 28th, 2009, 04:58 AM

price please???
and where to buy?

gizmogamez · May 28th, 2009, 06:10 AM

very sexy, would love to have this.

camaroz1985 · May 28th, 2009, 06:35 AM

I guess you could also use it just as a replacement tail light if you don't hook up the turn signals. Any chance of a cheaper one with no turn signals?

andrewwoo · May 28th, 2009, 06:50 AM

IM IN LOVE! wow i really like that!!!! hmm.. i might just get it.. even tho its not DOT approved.. it just LOOKS THAT AMAZING!!!!

The required minimum seperation distance is what kills it for me. VA has annual inspections. Sometimes they check stuff like that, sometimes they don't.

Usually, the police also check the sticker number on your inspection sticker when they ticket for "faulty or altered equipment". If the state police notice that numbers sent to a particular inspection station get lots of tickets, well.....they set up a sting operation and he's toast. That's why most inspectors in my state are VERY careful to follow the book, or they're in legal hot water bad enough that the fines usually put them out of business. With the economy like it is, they can't afford to loose out like that. Happened a few years back, the last big round up put almost 15% of state vehicle inspection stations off the map state wide.

I love the product, though. NICELY cleans up the tail section of the bike. Couple it with proton flush mount fronts and it's a nicely refined look.

That would be one royal PITA for a 30 minute roll up to the inspection and back. Heck, they just passed a new noise ordinance here that almost requires that we all go back to stock exhausts, too! If they tighten up any more, I'm gonna retire and move to a less communist state!

Bikemonkey · May 28th, 2009, 01:44 PM

Even if the turnsignals are not hooked up, it makes a pretty cool accessory - but i would say that

M-Oorb · May 28th, 2009, 04:17 PM

So Carl, any chance of a group buy? I think a bunch of people are interested

You're just in the wrong part of the state - they're not as bad, and the roads are much better out here

Is anyone offering to manage this over in the US?

If not I can simply give people a discount code to enter into the website and they can purchase direct. The problem is that we'll be shipping lots of single Tails to the US and everyone will be paying $30AUD for P&H.

Thanks
Carl

randomwalk101 · May 29th, 2009, 10:56 PM

bikemonkey,

that U-tube video is kinda weak. Can you do another, and when you have the signal on...instead of pulsing the brake light, can you just squeeze the brake and hold it there like 3 seconds so we can see the difference? Also, with signal OFF, squeeze the brake and hold it for 3 seconds instead of pulsing like 0.00005 seconds. thanks.

richierich781 · May 29th, 2009, 11:15 PM

these are nice. want one too. where's the discount code?
