Had some trouble myself finding something I wanted. Ended up ordering some real cheap **** from China. Looked like stock, only smoked, and worked great...




For about a month....

So now Im rocking one from D2 Moto. Looks great. Like stock only smoked and much slimmer. Still work, but I only had it for about a month before the winter kicked in, so Im not sure how long its gonna last. But for $80 I have no problem buying a couple of these each year just to avoid using the stock lights.

I've got a used d2moto for sale if you are interested. I think you'll need a load equalizer for your bike. It was on mine for about 6 months.

I used Kuryakyn's Panacea Tail Light in 2008 and removed my rear signals, I think it was about $200. I got one that looked stock, three years and 25,000 miles and have had no issues, you can also set it so the brakes flash for a couple seconds when you hit them.

Easy install. No need for load equalizers on mine. Guess if you're using led both front and rear you're gonna need them though.

I have the same one GymRat has, good piece, mine flaches brightly at first when brakes applied. I then cut the fender hanger off revealing that big beautiful meat on the back and relocated the licence plate to a nice lighted axle nut mounted one by (i think) Joker.

Put some upswept black sampsons on and some Red-rimmed spoke wheels and voila!! Awesomeness.
