I have a question for riders that have a Motodynamics Integrated tail light installed on their FZ6. My husband and I just received ours and installed them last Thursday (his on an FZ1). His looks great, bright and sharp all the way across, top and bottom. Mine looks.... lopsided. There's no other way to describe it.
The fixture itself is level; but the light only seems to go about half-way up on the top of left side, slanting up until it's fully lit on the top of the right side. The lower left side is mostly fully lit, but the lower right side is almost completely dark. It appears this way standing about 6-8 feet behind the bike, and also riding about 2 car lengths behind the bike out on the road (my husband confirmed this). Angle doesn't seem to make a difference.
We sent an email to Motodynamics about this, and they replied saying that was normal, and it would appear different out on the road. It did not. My question to other riders is does your tail light do this too?
We tried to get some pictures, but it's really hard to capture on camera. This picture comes closest, with a definite dark spot in the lower right quadrant. The slant at the top isn't as visible in the picture as it is in person, but it's there. The camera and bike were both level at the time.
