Actually, there is nothing out there for our bikes that fit stock. That's actually the stock lens people ;)

If there is interest I could build them, it will fit in the exact stock location. I built a custom bracket for mine, that's why it looks so nice.

nobody wants to pay anything for stuff anymore so Its probably not worth my time.


If anyone cares to try it, I will tell you that a stock replacement light for our bikes is over $100 !!

The catch is that I need your factory lens, or can do a "core exchange program"

I cant find a company that will just get me a lens. :(

You guys give me a suggestion of what its worth to ya. Brackets, light, etc. $? I think its super sexy and is a must to bring out the rear look of the bike. ;)

I did something similar to my old bike. Where I separated the lens and the tail light housing and put in a pcb board with about 80 LEDs.

Nice work.

As far as price on selling these I guess it really depends on A) how long each build takes B) how much is your time worth to you.
I find that side projects are really hard to make any money on and I generally break even.

this is what we did to ours too. We took apart the lens and
replaced the LED board with the new integrated....it was cheaper
and thats all that was out at the time that I could afford. Now,
of course, there are several plug and play options. Im sure it
wont be long for the same for you guys. In the mean time.....this
might be a good option and opportunity...wtg bro!!!

This is all up to you, when i do side work i charge $35 an hour and mark up 20% on parts, but that it still a huge savings over what someone would normally pay. If you are willing to share your knowledge and take some detailed pics i would not mind listening and looking.

Im looking at doing the same thing. Im making a custom PCB board and accouple of small relays and voltage regulators and about 24 LEDs. Its not that hard of work if you have a basic understanding of electrical work its just time consuming and Im still waiting on getting my bike back.
