A few weeks ago, I saw a post on here about a super bright LED tail light. Im interested in buying one of these for my bike. Does anyone know the brand, or where I can get one? I cant find the other post.

They're a little more than some others I've seen, but after seeing the reviews it sounds well worth it. Much brighter than any others I've seen. It's next on my list.

One of the sponsors here, (XB Lights) can hook you up with (IMHO) one of the best replacement LED taillights you can get.

Thanks for the kind words guys!!

But, so you know there are a couple options
for you........

#1. XB Lights
#2. American Sport Bike
#3. Clear Alternatives

Naturally I feel XB Lights has an awesome product!
But I have never heard anything bad about the light AL
sells at American Sport Bike.
But I will say clear alternatives SUCKS!!!!

I have never seen the light from American Sport Bike in person, but I'd imagine it is pretty bright. I know XB Lights is really bright and I also know clear alternatives is NOT that bright
( which is why it is cheaper )
if you scroll over to the sponsor page you can click on XB Lights thread and on there I have some comparison shots of XB Lights and clear alternatives.

Hope this helps shed some light for you.... no pun intended :-)

Thanks and stay safe!

Nice of you to offer up the alternatives Robert, but DO NOT buy the Clear Alternative light! Absolute junk. Probably 1/2 the brightness of stock. Junk. Junk. Junk.

I can't say enough good things about XBlights.
Top notch quality. The light simply works.
It is a thing of beauty and it is really bloody bright!

It' my most favorite mod on my bike : )

Yeah and I can't say enough bad things about my CA light (except maybe that it came on my bike so I didn't technically pay anything for it). It's seriously crap and unsafe. It's a pile of poo and bloody hard to see!

It's my least favorite mod on my bike.

XBLIGHTS all the way. My regular riding buddies swear that at 100 feet ahead, I am simply riding my brakes until I actually use them, and then, as one of them said, it's like following the Sun into a corner. You will not regret working with Robert and he will bend over backwards for your satisfaction. Not to mention the great communication. I've had 0 problems with my clear lens XBLIGHTS brake light.

Another recommendation for the XBLights. It's well worth the money.

When you have an XB and you need a tail LIGHT, you go to XBLIGHTS : )

Thank You guys! I really appreciate all the positive feedback!
You guys are the ones that make it happen!
if there was NO BadWeB and the support from you guys......well i'm sure XB Lights would have been a one off custom light for pretty much just my bike.


Yeah and I can't say enough bad things about my CA light.....It's seriously crap and unsafe. It's a pile of poo and bloody hard to see!





Thank You all and stay safe out there!!!!
