Default Hotbodies Undertail

So with checking out each and every undertail under the sun for an 01 f4i, i've concluded that my choice is most likely going to be a hotbodies. Only i'm unsure about exactly how bright the LED's will be during the day especially when it's nice and sunny out. Another concern would be how well the blinkers will appear during the day. Some feeback on this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks...

I have the Hotbodies undertail. The LED's suck, both the brake and turn signals. The turn signals only have 3 LED's in them.

The pitch on the hotbodies website says they're now installed with REALLY bright LED's...i've seen an undertail where there were the brake and running lights then underneath there were two small lines of LED' for the blinkers---damn i want that hotbodies but i wish it was brighter....

I've had my hotbodies for 6 months... gotta admit the lights suck ***. VERY hard to see during the day. At night, the difference between running light and braking is not very big. All for looks but functionality is terrible.

The LED's do suck a bit but a small extra I added to that was having my rear pegs drilled and put LED's in them. It makes it noticeable when you are signaling. I got into the habit of tapping my brakes just enough to make the brake lights flash when I am slowing or stopping. It makes me think people behind might see it better.

I've got the hot bodies undertail and I agree. The lights are terrible and the turn signals are worse. I'm undecided as to if I'm going to work on making these better or just buy a new one...

here is what i wrote to Kevin at hotbodies...

Hi Kevin,

I've got an 01 CBR F4I and have been looking around for an undertail. I've scanned pretty much every undertail on the market and hotbodies definitely in my opinion looks the best and sleeked out the most. Word on the street and people i've talked with that have a hotbodies all complain that the LED's on the undertail are barely visibale during the day and that is a major concern. When is hotbodies going to step it up and make an undertail with some extremely bright LED's? Maybe have an undertail with the blinkers under neath in 2 small rowes below the 2 larger LED's for running and brake. I'm a potential customer and am wondering what you can do for me. Thanks alot!
