Hi Techno,
mine arrived today -only paid for it yesterday too -very speedy.
Am going to install in a couple of minutes-construction looks really good, and very neat and robust.
Well worth it IMHO.
Many thanks Techno - excellent !

this may seem like a daft question. why use red LED's behind a red lense surely white would be brighter. or is it a case of the tail light isnt red enough. also have the resistors been done away with on the production model. cheers Bm

no resistors means no current limiting which means bye-bye LEDs of whatever colour!

Red are used because a) electrical characteristics b) if the lens cracks or breaks completely you are not showing a White light to the rear c) the red lens will not attenuate the light output. d) you can fit a trendy clear lens and still have a red tail light.

Just to say, that i fitted my new LED rear to my 100GS yesterday, which went very smoothly apart from fact that previous owner must have squeezed the spade connectors tight, and one broke off ( NOT on Techno's LED, but on my bike's wiring) !
That sorted, and brake switch removed and cleaned ( under the footbrake lever bit), all works wonderfully; had to do some night riding last night, and well, bright as a very bright thing, and I would say that the brake light is much brighter than the old standard bulb set up. Money well spent, and a worthwhile safety addition.
Very reassuring !

Paypal payment on the way!

Judith - My R100GS, will look the mutt's nuts with this!

And of course it would be bad manners for the moderator not to have one fitted

Like the adjective 'speedy' rather than 'nippy'..

I'll ask, but I think I already know the answer.

Would this fit a 1988 R100RT? No. just as I suspected.

 

[techno]

Don't think so. Was that what you were thinking?

Could make one if you are rich or enough people want one..

 

[ELIMINATOR]

yes, that was what I was thinking, I just edited my previous post. Oh well, never mind.
