LED taillights?

I need to rig something up. My taillight just fell off.

I'm thinking about just some kinda LED bar, like on the new R1s. Something that I can throw in, and not worry about it falling off, or bulbs breaking...

Any ideas?

What do you think was just holding it on?

I'm gonna go outside and zip tie it up again, but I just want a nice LED bar from an R1 or something that I can splice into the harness, and screw it into the tail and not worry anymore.

Slammin' stoppies down keeps blowing bulbs....

Use cat eyeballs. Everytime light hits 'em they glow red.

Sounds like you just didn't know the secret handshake. They keep the cool stuff in the back.

i got in there just before close the other night and didn't want to trouble the nice lady at the counter. I have to return my bar ends and get another set anyways.

Re: LED taillights?

Autozone has them. Was thinking of using three strips about 4 inches long.
one for tail and two for brake.

Re: LED taillights?

just got back from Rec again and they STILL didn't have them. I asked both girls at the counter and they both said they've been out for a few days now. I even checked at the special orders counter.
