What integrated tail light is everyone using? Where did you get it and what did it cost? I have looked around on here and found a few. Obviously the American Sport Bike for $259.95 at that price not in the cards for me. I also found the circuit card assembly (178.95 w/clear lens) has anybody went that route? I like the xblights.net integrated tail for around $215 with sending in my old light but again a little pricey. Randy is chopping my tail right now so I am trying to find the least expensive route to fit my budget.
Thanks for the help,
Thomas

xblights.com. There really is no comparison, and while yes, it is spendy....it is super bright - far more so that any other light I've seen - and high quality.

I had the Clear Alternatives light before that, and even with the clear lens it is not eve as bright as the stock light.

my opinion? It's one of the biggest safetly items on your bike. Don't skimp, get the best one out there.

I'm using this:

http://clearalternatives.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv c?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CA&Product_Code=CTL-0052- IT&Category_Code=Firebolt

I just removed the stock signals and reflectors. Looks great. Works well and is very visible.

As far as integrated lights go, I think there are only a few options.

- Heavy Cycles light from American Sport Bike.
- XB Lights
- Clear Alternatives

I have never seen the light from American Sport Bike in person, but I've never heard anything bad about them at all!

Of course, I think XB Lights are GREAT!

Clear Alternatives are JUNK!!

After seeing a Clear Alternatives next to an XB Lights, I can say I wouldn't suggest anyone waste there money on a Clear Alternatives light!!! Just JUNK!

I can't think of any other brand that has integrated signals...

Hope that helps.

when I swapped to the XBLights unit, I was impressed enough with it to try to show the difference. Check it out here to see why I so highly recommend it (and so much against the CA light!):

XBlights for sure. I love mine and do not worry about anybody not seeing it. It is very bright, day or night. Highly recommend you save up for it.
