Looking to get an integrated taillight so I can get rid of the stock fender and just hang my license plate somewhere...

Does anybody know about/have pictures with either the Volar Motorsports (http://www.xdcycle.com/discount-mot...-Integrated-Tail-Light-Volar-Motorsports.html) or the Clear Alternatives (http://www.blueridgeperformance.net/brpaccessories.html) kits? I've heard good things about BRP but I'm curious why theirs is a little more expensive.

Thanks guys!

I bought this and it has worked perfectly for me since. Don't know if you are only looking at those two above, but if not, this link up top is worth it.

If you want to remain legal, check the law in your state. In Texas you have to have your turn signals nine inches apart in the back. Just something to consider.

Thanks to both of you.

Does the virtual village kit require splicing? I can't tell what some of those pictures show but I can't argue with the price :agree:

Also, I'm actually moving to Texas in about a month or so but I'm in the military and move around all the time...the bike will probably be registered in FL for as long as I have it though so hopefully thatll get me by. I appreciate the advice though!

Just remember the cops will harass you, Texas cops are known for their tenacity.

I have one of these tail lights and it just went out yesterday. I didn't intall it so i thought i would just change the bulb;wrong! they are led so I'm assuming once they stop they are done, right? I don't know what has happened and am assuming I have to buy another one. have any thoughts as to what it could be?

 

[Mr Skidmarks]

Unless you can micro solder, toss it and get a new one.

That is one of the pros of having separate lights. You could just get LED signals and install it with your tail eliminator kit, would look cool, minus the headache should they fail (just replace the side that failed).

How long ago did you buy it? That is an awesome price when compared to the others but it makes me wonder how the quality compares.

I've got the volar purchased from D2moto. Less than $20.

The red/green blinkers may be difficult to see for some riders. Otherwise it has worked fine for the last 13k on and off road miles.

sanjoh, that has to be one of the coolest/most unique re-do's of the 650R, well done!! What are some of the mods you did to it? Is that a Z1000 exhaust??

I appreciate the feedback too :alcy:

Here is what I made from my local hardware store. Only cost me under $10. I still need to clip off the extra length on the bolts though.

I ordered a pair of LED license plate bolts from www.customdynamics.com
They will be here in a few days, I will post pics later when I get them installed.
They are a dual purpose bolt. They will be my amber blinkers and will shine down white light on my license plate so that I am legal.

where did you find the LED bolts? were they expensive?

^^^ just like he said.. I bought mine off of eBay after reading the reviews and saw that someone had actually purchased an integrated taillight for the 650R off of them and left positive feedback. I've yet to have any problems with mine. Also it does require splicing.. I just clipped the connector turn signal wires off of my stock turn signals and wired it up to the ITL so I could just plug it back into my wiring on the body of the bike, wasn't a very hard process. Could even link you to a youtube video of a guys tutorial of how to install/wire the taillight in if need be.

I bought those and i was able to connect it and everything, but it came with four red hooks (photo below)

that I can't find where to put them and I tightened all the screws but the light still look loose with a gap on top. Any help (The manual that came with it is in chinese/ or japanese :-( )

Those are wire connectors/splicers. They don't do anything to physically attach the light to the bike, just to splice wires together.

^^ what he said. And your light is probably loose because you forgot to put the rubber bushing piece in that goes on top of the light between it and the tail piece.

Thanks for your comment as well as the diagram. Unfortunately I did put the damper pieces in as well. I'll have to check again and maybe make thicker rubber pieces myself when I get home tonight
