I kept forgetting to ask about that signal light you have on your bike.... it's bright, works great, what the heck is it?

this is what all the FUSS is about...

$17 dollars at Advance Auto Parts in Killen, AL.  I'll get you the actual brand name when I get home.  That particular store always has lots of LED options....even for bikes.

Edit:  Oh, and it's rubber and bendy to fit most any shape!

Share a pic man. Most of us have no idea what you are talking about.

Maybe if you weren't always in such a rush you could slow down and notice the small things, like @kdtrull and his voluptuous rear light!

I'm pretty sure I saw you twist the throttle a little too far a few times.

It's this, for Pete's sake....and it's not $49.00 like on the web page:

I was wrong about Advance.  I got it at AutoZone in Killen for $17.00 and you could probably get your local AutoZone to order you one for the same price.

AND, It's two intensities of red in the middle...not like whatever color that is on the web page.

got one with some other things that I lost intrest in

Even better!!!  Maybe.  That unit has fewer, but larger, LEDs.  It also looks to have a much more clear covering.

And thanks for noticing my voluptuous rear plumage.  @Fencejumper09  ;D

thanks!

it was bright and noticable enough I think I'll add one to my bike around the underside of the fender.

My DRZ came with some tiny, 0.000000005 Watt LED turn signals with smoked out lenses.  They were barely visible in the dark...let alone in daytime.  I had to do something quick and that little booger did the trick.  Heck, It had $17.00 worth of "Try Me" buttons on it.

A whole thread about looking at Trull butt, and it's actually useful. Only Kyle can manage that.
:D

Actually those look pretty sweet. Thanks for all the links.

I went back to AutoZone Sunday to get another one of these LED signal bar things for my XT.  This time, It was $39.00.  What a bummer.
