Re: Please show your nice replacement Brake Lights!

I'm going through this right now and having problems... it seems 1/2 of the vendors on line don't list their tail light sizes :blink: . I've e-mailed at least 3 different vendors and they cant tell me how big they are... :blink: this is a pain as I'm not into returns (canada) so its kind of a crap shoot.
It seems most of the tail lights are either @ 4 1/2" wide or @ 6 1/2" wide. The stock 07-08 ZX6R looks like it would fit nice, there is a 2004? CBR 600 stock one that looks really close to our tails also. I found some more nice ones at American Legend Motorcycles (on-line) the last one on the pic at the bottom looks bang on.... I e-mailed the guys for a price and size on it but they never got back to me. So I'm going with a Drag Specialties chrome (alum) LED clear lense one from CruzerCustomizing (3rd pic) as I'm going to try the chrome (alum) LED turn signals minis also (hope there not too small though) they are the 2nd gen LED's that are supposed to be brighter. I'm also making my own inner fender and tail light/plate bracket (aluminum) using a router and my brake. Check out the bracket (last pic) I found on-line... the guy designed it (cnc) for his super moto, I thought it looked pretty cool.

Oklahoma laws say you only have to have turn signals on '02 or newer.

I don't, I'm not lucky enough to have a 1k. I'm using it on my 89 Ninja.
At its widest points, it's 7-3/8 wide, 1-1/2 tall, 2-3/8 deep with screw bosses straight out the back centered at 4-5/8.
