LED tail lights

The tail light on my SV wasn't bright enough, so I added some led strips from Custom Dynamics:

This pic gives a better idea of the real intensity of these in relation to the brake light. The 12 led strip above the brake light is really bright. I checked DOT regs- federal is OK, PA doesn't specifically mention motorcycles, it does for cars/trucks/buses. There are several wiring diagrams since the SV has different models- K3,K4 which vary in wiring. It's best to have both owners manual ( back page has model info) and the shop manual.

I have a lightbar mounted below the plate on each of my bikes.

On the XX i removed the lower bulb and replaced it with one of these. (red one) http://www.strobe.com/component/option,com...ufacturer_id,0/

Super bright strobe.

So, do you have the light bar come on when you brake? or as a running light?

I bought the "Clear Alternatives" brake lens for my 2002, opened it up and removed the red filter and then installed 2 of these 5 Watt Luxeon based bulbs from superbrightleds.com:

It looks really sharp now, very fast, bright light. I love Luxeon LEDs !!! :icon_evilgrin:

Doing the blinkers the same way in the next few weeks.
