Hi

I am planning to buy this for my 03 CBR 600 RR. What do you guy think about that..are the turn signal as bright as advertised, because i dont want to get rear ended by a car not seing me turning. :D

I think those are pretty small looking. LEDs are suppose to be bright though, so maybe that makes up for it??? I would want something bigger than those personally.

a little tip
my friend just got that for his 2005 R6...it took him almost 3 hours to install....he had to take off all the fenders....so just make sure you can take care of the installation before you drop $100. :wink:

It looks neat and really cleans up the tail end of the bike.

There is a couple of things though... There always is.

1. You are going to be spending a LOT of time cleaning road grime off of the exposed areas. Tar is not fun to get off under there.
2. I hope you like water flying up everywhere the first time you get caught in the rain.
3. The led turn signals may look nice and be bright, but unless you are directly in line people around you will not see them. I prefer to have others know my intentions so they aren't as likely to run over me. I know, silly me.
4. The plate location can be a problem. Some LEO's will cite you for having an "obstructed" view of the plate. I don't know about your area. It could give them a reason to pull you over. I have seen some people with this set up get cited for that.

Does look good though.

Hi

Thanks all

I will be seriously be thinking about it before dropping a 100$ on that..it would sure look nice but i also want to be as safety as i can but i will try to find out if there is other disadvantage on installing this.

With my limited riding experience i see how difficult it is for cage drivers to spot us on the road.
I dont think i would be adding anything to my bike that would make it even more difficult because thats only going to hurt you and your bike.

And by the way..Cage Drivers, does that mean car,truck and everything on four wheels? :frusty:

Yeah, any enclosed vehicle. Why not check out modulators for your existing set up or thr relays that allow for higher wattage bulbs.
