Some pics of the smoked sequential motodynamics tail light.. this thing rocks, totally matches the bike... Install was dead easy, no cutting or splicing, plug and play, total hook up time under 20 seconds after tail was off the bike... Plug , Plug , Plug , Done...
The previous blinkers I had were from the " competition werks -Stealth Tidy Tail" and they were almost invisible even when you know they are there in the day time... Look good at night, but deadly in the day , So I switched to this yesterday and so far its really bright and 100x better than the previous set up.
Nice looking setup venomous. I've got the comp werkes stealth tail tidy to install yet on my bike and I was also looking at this smoke led tail light set up as an alternative to the comp werkes blinker setup. I really like the way it looks. Plus I think it would look incredible with my fighter yellow.
The tail is pretty straight forward, just start removing all the bolts out of the rear end, the only hard part was getting the tail light out of the tail it self, You just have to give it a good pull and put some pressure on the plastic to flex it a little to let the tail light pop out..
I will try to grab some today , I had my wife follow me in the car, she said all she could see was my brake light flashing, when you hit the break it flashes 3x and the blinker is great as well..
yup, I had a MotoDynamic one on my Monster and it was great...even smoked, the LEDs are really bright...I ordered the one for the SF before I even signed for the bike. Its sitting in my mailbox at home...
I have a set and it really cleans up the rear nicely. Only problem is that when it's sunny outside, nobody behind you can see them. Brake lights yes, a bit, but not the turn signals. My buddy almost rear-ended me because he didn't know I was turning. So be prepared.
I've been intrigued about these integrated lights since I got my bike last year. I would love to see a video of these working in real world lighting, not the indoor shot the company has on their website.
Yes, if you wish to. You would need to tap (splice) into the original turn signal wires. Its best to use Posi-lock wire taps.. What i did was i added a pair of small LED's inside the vents.. totally unnecessary, but they give me some additional peace of mind.
The advantage is that when you have Motodynamic taillight installed, it already has enough resistance wired in, that whatever led's you add to the bike will not "hyper-flash".
I installed one too, but went with clear. It is ultra bright, even in direct sunlight, and is the safest bet for visibility. The smoked lenses do knock down the intensity of the led's., just a warning.
Looks great, Ive got one on order myself. Ive currently got my turn signals located in the tail vents. Previous owner located them there, and no one can see them lit up when riding. This is a nice alternative to that, and im sure that even when its tough to see during the daytime, they will be better than the tail vent ones.
You will like this unit. Take your time on the install and don't be afraid to walk away for a bit. Removing the old light can be a pain in the ass, check the FAQ for excellent advice.
I installed my Motodynamic smoked light last weekend, looks freaking awesome and I love the blinkers as well as the tripple flash brake light. However, my wife and I noticed last night in the dark that the brake light is much dimmer than the stock one on a 696 Monster. And it has nothing to do with the smoked lens, the brake lights themselves are only marginally brighter than the running light, while the brake light on the Monster is blindingly brighter than the running light (a whole second bank of LEDs turns on when braking). Hopefully won't be a huge deal since the tripple flash will get people's attention, but it's something everyone should be aware of! If I can, I'll try to get a picture tonight to illustrate.
The brake lights being only marginally brighter doesn't sound right. Perhaps you got a defective one or the smoked really does cut the intensity. Here's shots of mine (clear) - the camera really doesn't do it justice but mine is much brighter than stock anything I've seen.
