Custom LED tail light

[awdmzr]

I was considering getting the Clear Alternatives LED tail light, but I was concerned about the visibility of the light in direct sunlight. I tried an LED bulb but returned it, it wasn't bright enough to be safe. Ended up getting a 6" oval 40 LED trailer light from a truck stop. I removed the center section of the PCB (including 8 LEDs) and made a few connections between the two sides. Here's the end result. Pictures taken in direct light on purpose

Tail light on:

Brake light on:

Also in those pics is the M4 exhaust, tucked back under the tail an additional 1", that's why the badges are gone.

I'm guessing cutting the link pipe a couple of inches?
Looked at mine the other day,with a view to doing it,as the scorps are pretty stubby as it is,it just seems the link that is quite long.

Nice pic! I didn't take any photos when I had the bike disassembled. That was where I made my first cuts.

I cut some off the other end of the y-pipe when I decided that .5" wasn't far enough. I also welded a plate into the middle of the y so that both mufflers get exhaust.
