They make integrated LED assemblies for a lot of sportbikes; I'm sure they would have a setup to fit your 9.

If you look at any car while braking, you light up the guy behind you. I say run 'em until told otherwise. Looks impressive though.

Dont necessarily need the integrated set... I don't like the whole clear lens look. Just the bulb replacement will be fine for me

Good job on the plates :P

Just the bulb replacement is good for me also. I like the brighter tail and stop. I was thinking about that spinning led one. But I have not seen one in real life yet, so I don't know.

I Just got my LED turn signal bulbs for the 750. They are the 18 count LED bulbs found all over eBay (not the custom dynamics brand I'm using for my brake light), and these bulbs are not even half as bright as the Radiantz LED's. I've learned my lesson about buying the low cost LED's. They're NOT WORTH IT! Buy the good stuff now, or you'll wish you did later.

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up Mark. I might just do the same ones you did.

Yeah, I don't want to sound like a walking talking billboard for those radiantz LED's, but I've gotta give them praise for making a superior product over the competitor's LEDs.

In all reality, the 18 count turn signal bulbs I got off eBay aren't too bad for their price. I would say they are at least as bright as a standard filament bulb. But I like the added safety of being seen well by those in cages!

wow...that's really bright. They seem like that would be great during the day, but do you think that the bright lights would cause any problems at night?

I was thinking about that spinning led one.
In somes states it's illegal to have those lights and those brake lights that flash (NJ being one)

Ya, I checked on that here and no probs with the law.

The lights shouldn't cause any probs at night. On the back of one of my old 53' box trailers behind the big rig, I had 14 mutiple LED lights that were BRIGHT!! And no probs at all.
