First I have notorious problems with my actual license plate and rear light bracket breaking, cracking, and basically getting destroyed from vibrations... constant rewelding required... now one of the damn studs cracked out of the plastic in the tail light assmbly. I just cant keep this bike together. LoL.


Wonder how much a new one from the dealer is... if available at all? Or should I spring for the LED rear? Im not really a fan of its look i think?

RU looking for the red cover for the tail light?
If it is the same cover as the X1/Blast I can supply you with one.
If it is the right size it is yours for the cost of postage.

not the actual lens cover but the entire mounting back of the lighting assembly. Where the bulb locks in, and where the reflector is....


After reading around, I'm definiately not buying a motodynamic one...


But yes, it is the same as a blast.

Oddly enough, I have one of those as well. I haven't tested it to see if it works but I can send it your way if you wanna try it.
If you want it, PM me your address & I will mail it tomorrow.

everything I heard about the motodynamic for the buell was that it was quite dim, and that row's intermittantly go out. My friend even has one for his kawi 636 and i think it looks like junky quality... his lights go off as well and has a few that are permanently out.

In my opinion I'd rather spend the extra $20 and buy the super high quality ducati version from motoLED... that thing is MEGA bright, and high quality.... however that is just a board, I'd still need a new housing.

and yes, this is an s1. Id appreciate it from either of you...

bri, what is it you have?

Nobody knows the part number for the front brake light switch?


On a side note... I rode back from the beach last night, and the taillight cracked off and shattered across the road going about 80mph. License plate dropped to the tire and got thrown in the belt and locked forward agaisnt my foot... otherwise I would know have known this happend. I rode the next 35 miles home in the dark without a taillight or license plate.

71776-96Y or Y0810.9...

My rear light brackets are cracked. Tis cos you have the licence plate hanging off it giving it big time vibration...

Bet it would last forever if you used the original fender...

I dont have the original fender... not really sure what it even looks like... However this time I'm going to make a new license plate bracket... something wtih more ridgidity and half the weight, and a higher central mass...\


Thanks though. I see its the same as many suzuki switches.
