repoe3: those look sweet. What kind of bulb do they use? LEDs?

regular filament bulb. they are as bright if not brighter than the bulbous stock units on the rear.

I hope they are better than the Locjhart Phillips China junkers...I bought a set aand the practicaly crumbled on installation. The bulb socket was so tinny that they warped...real crap.

yes they are much better than those. firbolter has a set and i have two, one on the S (removed since reinstalling the LED's in the brake light housing) and one on the R6.

How do they istall?

guess you could install them on the stock mounts, but i actually cut off the stock mounts and fab'd tabs on my plate mount for the them, so they were much lower and more inboard, next to the top bolts holding the plate on the bike. you will have to run wires through a heat resistant sheathing between the exhasut pipes if you relocate them, but if you install on the stock mounts, it would be plug-n-play.

Here you go, Nitro - you crazy lad. :D
.
They're not unlike most lights to install - IOW's, easy as pie.
I did hog out the hole in the stock bracket, however, to receive the threaded light housing shaft.
Ran the stock affixing screw through the cleat I made and into the bracket.
No mods I made will prevent using the stock light.

I reckon the Kellerman micro 1000 are by far the prettiest,and very bright for their size.they run a 5w halogen globe.I had to put a couple of big resistors inline to get the flash-rate right.The four 10w ceramic resistors are actually bigger than the blinkers.
