I just recently installed a integrated l.e.d. tail light from Robert Hall/ xb lights. currently i have the stock signals on the front. i Havent found anything yet i like for the front. i want some black medal l.e.d.s..so i was wondering what you all run. unfortunately i just discovered that i have a broken exhaust stud on the front cylinder so i dont get to enjoy my tail light. now i have to figure out what to do with the stud. here are some crappy cell phone pics of the tail. ill get some better crappy cell phone pics later

In the first pic it looks like a black tail light, and the last it looks red. Just wondering wich it is. I've been wanting a tail light from Robert for a long time. I'm hoping to get one before it starts getting foggy here.

Looking at photos on the Buell web site, it looks like the 2010 XB's have arrowhead-shaped front signals - a new style. Don't know if they would fit on an older xb, or if they would be as bright as

Kellermans:
http://www.motostrano.com/kebl10barend.html

Oberons:
http://www.motowheels.com/italian/myProducts.cfm?p arentcategoryid=605|Lighting%2C%20Turn%20Signals%2C%20%26%20Mirrors&p roductID=5632&showDetail=1&categoryID=606|Turn%20S ignals&vendoridtodisplay=0&filterFor=&collection=6 05|Lighting%2C%20Turn%20Signals%2C%20%26%20Mirrors

or Shock Racing: http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/Shock_Racing_L ED_Turn_Signals--62-SHOCK-1.html

I like the Oberon bi-directional, so you and others can see the blinker from behind the unit. There are also others that do this feature: http://luckybike.com/super-mini-stalk-turn-signals -power-led39s-st181-p-306.html?osCsid=923794af7cc2 49a08d51918a1d9a1424

and then Oberon also makes a bar-end unit that flashes front and rear that I thought would be very cool, and very visible, being out farther from the headlight: http://www.motowheels.com/italian/myProducts.cfm?p arentcategoryid=605|Lighting,%20Turn%20Signals,%20&%20Mirrors&product ID=5631&showdetail=1&categoryID=606|Turn%20Signals &filterFor=&collection=605|Lighting%2C%20Turn%20Si gnals%2C%20%26%20Mirrors&collection=

the photo on badweb I remember of a bike w/ mini front signals is on Gentleman Jon's profile page

08xb12scg its the black one. the red is the stock unit i just put that up to show my bike. Robert offers red and clear lenses. he doesnt really offer the one i got much just because it blocks some of the light but is still brighter than stock. just like anyone else that has done any bussiness with him. I cant say enough about him. Hes a great person to do bussiness with, also the qaulity is unbelievable

Thanks Fahren for all the links and info

Looking for front LEDs? Here's what I came up with ... I got these mirrors that have LEDs in the front



... they work good straight ahead, and I put smoke pods in the stock spots so folks could see me from the sides.



Plus, the stock 'lollypop' mirrors vibrated too much and had to go ... two birds with one stone.

I have aluminum arrow shaped signals up front.









I have an Xblights tail without the integrated signals.

Instead I have ones like the front except a small area lights up red when the brake is applied.

Al did indeed carry the single purpose ones like on my front (turn signal only) but not the dual purpose ones. (either signal/brake or signal/running light).

The place I got the signals at no longer sell them or any other motorcycle products.
They only have stuff for cars now so I am unable to provide a go to spot : (

It looks like it would require some internet digging to find them.

Thank you for the kind words!!!
I'm glad you like it.
I was wondering about that lens being too dark.
I just don't like the amount of light they block.

But to each is there own :-)

I actually had those LED signal mirrors showed above.
I liked them, but one day while riding the right mirror portion almost fell out. Fixed that and about 7 months later the whole top piece fell off the stalk.
Some gorilla glue fixed it, but wasn't pretty.

But my left one never had a problem... Maybe just a fluke.

Thanks again and ride it hard but safe!

since there are a lot of tail lights on this thread, I thought I would add mine.

I'm running Cat Eye LED turn signals in the front from American Sport Bike and XBLight's Option 6 tail light with integrated turn signals.

I made a short video of them in action, Rob's light is too bright to video, lol. Makes me feel a lot safer!

Thanks Al and Rob!

Captcaz, where did you get your mirrors at and how much? I'd like to compare them to the 1125CR.

Captcoz, how well do the mirrors themselves work as, well, mirrors : ). I currently have some rather small ones that are a bit too small for my tastes. Look excellent on the bike, but function isn't very high up there. Was thinking of going the same route you have, with the turn signal in the mirrors, and then have some flushies up front to make it more visible from the side.

Ack! this got archived and I didn't see it.

Delta, those ones are similar but a little smaller than what I have.

They look like they have more LEDs than mine do.

If you get them please post up some pics.
