Hey everyone

Looking to buy smoked/fog rear sequential taillights. Ordered one set the which was a horrible fit and had em returned.

Anybody else have opinions or thoughts on brands for my 2012 696?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm headed that direction with my 900, but worry that people won't see. Also I don't have a tail chop and worry that it would look weird. I'm not good at making cosmetic decisions and have always felt the blinkers sticking out help people see you because of the width of a blinking light and a brake light instead of one unit doing both.

I got the Motodynamics integrated tail light and think it looks great.  I had some people on a ride I went on yesterday tell me how visible it is  [thumbsup]

Same here, I have the Smoked Motodynamic Tail Light for my Evo.  Installation was extremely easy and it looks great and the LED's are very bright.  Hopefully they will do another production run for you soon!

Ya they said not for a long time unfortunately. Behind on too many projects =( oh well will put it on hold for now or opt for a diff brand. Perhaps comp werkes? Any xp on that? Or maybe just led turn signals...?

I have the Light Werks unit on my '95 m900 and I love it. The turn signals are bright the fit is good and wiring is simple and if I recall it was reasonably priced. Over all I would suggest it to anyone.

I've got the Motodynamics light on my S2R. I can't say anything about the new-gen monster units, but I ran into a few problems (solvable) with mine.

Mainly, the lens tended to fall off of the unit.  It's glued onto the backplate (that the board/lights mount to), and the vibration from the bike tended to break that bond.  It happened twice to me, on the first ride out with the unit installed.  The first one, I called them up, they sent out a new unit right away no questions asked.  The second time, I looked for a different solution and found a way to mount a  clear alternatives lens.

Anyways, perhaps it's the way everything is mounted on my bike, since others seem to have no problems.  At the end of the day (to their credit) they did what they could to fix the problem immediately.  So, plus one for customer service.

Ya I'm debating still on the comp werkes one since that one seems to be the only and best one available atm. Or might just wait for a bit till I can decide wut to do...!

I got the Motodynamics integrated tail light as well, it is an awsome setup. If the person behind you doesnt see your turn signal or brake lights they are looking another direction, they are very bright.

Ya I think I will just wait till motodynamics does another production since that one seems to be the most consistent =/
