Integrated tail light dangerous?
#11
I have the Clear Alternatives integrated tail light and it's plenty bright with the turn signal. Gotta remember that with the integrated lights, the turn signal doesn't turn off that side's brake light. It just alternates between it. Signal, brake, signal, brake. While the other side stays on full brake. I think it's safe enough. And I've never been rear ended, sooo...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I picked one up today for around 50 bucks plus tax. I'll post some pics in a couple days.

I hate 'em... My bike came with one and it is a very nice one but the damn thing is impossible to see in bright sunlight. I feel so unsafe, when I get the chance I will add some stalk signals to the integrated.
ALSO---why do people put flush mounts on the front? They are even less noticeable!

Dude, you cannot tell me that a bike with flush mounts will be as noticeable coming down the road, and possibly turning...as say my bike with always on led stalks....Also, at a 4way stop, when you have noticeable signals that broadcast your intentions then there is less room for confusion between you and other traffic. I will try to find a b4 and after picture of mine and post up!

I bought my bike used with an integrated tail lights and it functions perfectly. It has lights on always(red), when I brake they get very bright(red), my turn signals always flash when they are on(orange). The circular light is split in half one side red on side orange so there is no interference when braking/signaling. I do not know what kit it was but they are out there because I have one.

Ran into some problems today
As i was connecting the wires today there was suddenly some sparks and a tiny flame that died out soon after. So i put the oem tail light back in to make sure everything was ok but the tail light didn't work at all, including the brake light. Anyone know what I did to my bike? Did i fry something or is it just the bulb? Thank you for not getting off topic.
Also, the plate light stopped working after the mini fireworks. And the red light that usually shows up on the dashboard when i start the bike doesnt come out either. I have a bad feeling about this...
