Stop checking out my friend's ass...
As much as I'm not a fan of darkening the taillights, this made the back of the bike look REALLY nice.

Guys, Please read this before you run out and buy these...
The installation of these is really generic and almost crappy. In the instructions, it tells you to remove the tail section, which you do, but then it tells you to completely remove the tail light.. This is not necessary!! All you need to do is remove the two bottom screws (which have Loctite on them so they are ***** to take out), then seperate the tail section a bit.. You then slide the lens cover on, and but the screws back in.
Also, for the signal lights.. This is the crappy part. The lights come out with a singe phillips head screw. The light then comes out of it's snap in bracket. They then tell you to install the light cover (which needed some shaving on one because it didn't fit that great) and use a long screw with nylon lock nut. This essentially hold the light in place.. It's really crappy, and not the best way to mount this light.. I took some foam I had in the garage and placed it around the light, then tightened the screw down. Amazingly, the light holds in place ok, but it's still not the best mounting solution.
Overall, it looks KILLER, but I don't want everybody running out buying these thinking they are perfect, because they are not. So far, I have put about 180 miles on the bike with these on, and no issues. My buddy rode behind me and said the lights were clear and bright, so that made me feel better about having them.

Just put mine on tonight. That right side turn signal was a b@tch to get to fit. Nothing a dremel couldn't fix though.

This Mod I would rate
9, For looks
4, for Quality
3, for engineering. The single bolt holding the light seems cheezy!
2, for price.I had to modify my right one to seat correctly, and when I cleaned the left one, it poped in, and I had to take it all apart again. Last week a freind tapped on it, and it poped in again!, so there I was taking the tail apart at a night club curb!
5, for instuctions. They sent a poor resolution copy in black in white, couldnt see the arrows to well, and they didnt metion the removal of the clip nuts
But all in all, Im ok now, and need to do the front turn signals too. and Im looking into changing the 1156 bulbs to a 1157, and use the turn signals for running lights. It would also help with visability
