Oh Sweet because my friend just happens to have an extra taillight housing i could send to you once you start doing them and I would def pick up one of those undertails now knowing that they come with a whole new mounting system for the light housing.

well, ive actually been selling them, but ended up costing too much to make so i stopped. I still have enough for 1 more taillight though!

I suppose if i get at least 5 people to group buy them i can make more too...but right now theres just no demand for em

Let me run over to my friends house today to grab that housing, then let me check the bank, I recently became unemployed so money is kind of tight atm.

and sprock I haven't seen you around yet, I'm always in the york county area. You'll tell its me by my makeshift paint pen paint job covering the rashed parts of my left fairing and all my matching gear, there will also probably be a yellow F4i with me too.

I was just curious, Did you decide to link the LEDs in parallel for your 2nd gen and up boards as opposed to series in your original design?

so i was at radioshack today looking at all of their switches and lights and wondering what excuse I could use to mount one somewhere on my bike... Why not get a ****/switch/sensor that would change the intensity of your taillight based on ambient light?
