thinking of getting a new rear light (as an alternative to the OE one) as part of a conversion on my bike.

help much appreciated!!

Ben, come on, you can't seriously think that's legal :?:

Cool yes, legal no.

Cheers Mark.

Probably not. But it's very cool :) Is there still a minimum seperation for indicators? Looks like they'd be a bit unclear while brake and indicator are on two...

benHallowes 22-11-04 12:38 AM

:lol:

worth a try...

Thanks anyway guys - no numberplate would look cool too! :)

in the light of this, anyone recommend any places (aside from eBay!) where i can get cheap OE spares? Yamaha want £160 for a new unit, which is, frankly, rubbish...

is it worth buying from a US-based dealer? any recommendations?

Cheers

Is there an R6 equivalent of this site? Seems like they'd be better places to ask, they'll know the good places for Yam parts...

no, but a pity as it looks a damm sight more effective than some of the mini indicators on some bikes

Nick has something similar on his GSXR

ask him if hes been stopped yet :?:

That's a cool idea. What if you use LEDs and have the outermost ones as yellow indicators and the innermost ones as red back/brake lights? I'm sure that it would be possible to somehow do it in a way that isn't going to get you pulled over and is clear to other road users.

So have I, but I left my indicators on, from a distance it's hard to tell if you're turning right or left. Also, I thought I was less likely to get stopped with the indicators still in place.

Er, if you've left your indicators in place, why bother with those trick ones? :?
