I actually just put one of these on. I bought mine from X3 racing on ebay, but it looks to be the same exact thing. They are pretty bright, but the signals flash pretty fast. You'll have to get a resistor to slow them down, but other than that, I like um.

And might I add, the one I bought was only 50 bucks.

The brake light is great, the signals not so good. In most day light sunny conditions, they are all but un seeable. At night they do work and are visable, but so close togeather and centered on the bike.. Never trust them to clearly show your intent to turn.

Still I like mine and will keep it. Though I'll be adding a nother set at the widest point of the undertail this week.

I sort of had the idea. Leave my existing rear blinkers and just make this an addition.

Cool. There is another superhawk in Oxford, trying to get to join in on the ride this weekend. Could you imagine four of us on sh's from the same area?

Mini Shog would be outstanding. There will probably be even more join in before it's stands up and roll out time.

I have one on my bike, not sure if its the same brand. It worked great for awhile but now the license plate leds flash like strobe lights.

I have a similar light in my bike but without the turn signals, I think that the brake light is very good, but is not so good the turn signals.

I got one, My high pipes kinda eliminated the stock signal location. It flashes turns fast, so I may install the resistors to slow it down. I don't like clear tail lights as a rule, but this one is kinda cool.

I had the same problem with the one that I bought for 89.00. I thought it was a Clear Alternative light but it was a cheap knock off. Long story short but I sent it back for an exchange and never got anything back. I delt with them for over 9 months sending RMA requests and shipping back the wrong items that they sent (at my expense) and never got anywhere. Please do not buy anything from Ebay seller motorblvd # 151942

For the price I wouldn't buy anything but a real Clear Alternatives light with some kind of warranty. Properly built LEDs should last longer than you'll ever need.

Thanks 996 I bought mine off of ebay but it was an actual shop that lists stuff on ebay all the time and I have bought other stuff from them. When I pull my bike out of storage in a few weeks Im going to see if I can take it apart and fix it myself or just send it back and try an get a new one. Its just goofy there is a total of 6 white leds for the license plate light and only the 3 on the left flash the other 3 stay on steady.

Yup I had 3 on the right that flashed. I tried fixing it too with no luck. I'm not sure if it was the circuit board or the leds but each set of three lights on the right and left for the license plate have a different power supply or diode so It must be related to one of those. If I had known the hassle I was getting into I would have just killed the license plate lights and used something else to light it up.
