I only had the stock setup on my bike for about 3 weeks, so hard for me to say. I can say that when I use the turn signals at night tonight, the rears seem to light up more than the fronts. That was from my perspective on the bike at a light. Not sure if that helps.
I live local to the manufacture and can attest that the led lights are super bright (have seen their kits first hand). Definitely drastically brighter compared to the stock bulbs. Additionally no resistor pack is required and indicators function properly.Quote:

You're in Gainesville? That's not too far for a day ride. What do you have?Quote:

This week I've been looking into duplicating the saddlebag setup that was on the yellow 1190SX at the relaunch party in March. I ordered the bags which came in last week, and began to play with them. To make them stable, there needs to be some sort of framework for the bags to rest against and possible on as well. I'm looking into manufacturers who make saddle bag supports to see if there is a simple bolt on option before having something fabbed up on my passenger pegs.
The original bike that I'm basing it upon:

As you can see in the pics if you look closely, they have fabricated some bars as support for the bags. My next step is to mimic that. Here is what I have so far. Still playing with placement, so it isn't adjusted to its final placement.

As you can see in the last pic, there is nothing keeping the bags from swinging under the tail.
Once that step is figured out and completed, the last step should be creating EBR badges to replace the factory OGIO badges.
I'm thinking about having my 1190sx vinyl wrapped with flat red / white racing stripes. How hard was it to pull the plastic?
Love this red....

Those don't look half bad on there either. Who makes them?
