Default FYI - Drag Specialties LED Brake Light
In case you were planning on putting a Drag Specialties' LED brake light on your bike here's some pics to help decide. I used part number 7805-2002 on an 07 RKC. Below are before and after pics. I'm not too impressed.

No it doesn't. Here is my Street Magic/Radiantz LED tail from 100' away w/o the brakes applied.

A close friend has an LED taillight and I agree, waay too dim for me. Stock is much brighter than the one he had.

That is why you need to buy the LED from Custom Dynamics...

There is NO comparison to how bright these LEDs are. Worth every penny. Read the LED review that is posted on their site.
