Beware what you wish for. Tapping into the pure, unadulterated imagination of Bad Web has driven more than a couple of sponsors mad. Sometimes, the darkness gets inside you. |

Good luck RAHsevens! But you need to offer the WHOLE package with a name like XBLights.com I mean,all you offer are tail lights,which,i saw,and really like the integrated signal ones. One suggestion please contact Steve_Mackay and try a collaboration on his XBr headlight re-engineering job.You could save him the cost of sponsorship and help provide us XBr owners the corrective action we so DESPERATELY need! Helpp...please |

I have my brake lights hooked to the throttle cable. I hit the gas, they hit the brakes and I'm GONE!! |

Mr_grumpy - Well, I'm not too sure what the difference is with Euro spec? I'd imagine its the exact same.

Has to meet European construction & use regulations, then it'll get an "E mark", that's a capital E in a circle followed by a code number. One of the great problems importing vehicles into Europe is getting glass & lights to Euro standard. Testing agencies & arsy coppers WILL enforce! If you ride with, say a pair of non-homolated indicators, it's an offence for which you can be fined, & if you're unfortunate enough to have an accident where lighting is a contributary factor, it can invalidate your insurance claim in extreme circumstances. If, like many small manufacturers, you're not going for E certification, I'd advise you to do what all the others do for the market here, put a disclaimer on the product that says not legal for road use, just to cover your own arse. |

Well the some of the lenses have the E with a circle and a number. Do they tear it apart and look at the internals? Or are they concerned with just the lens like they are here in USA? |

If it's got the E mark lens, that'll be ok I've not yet seen em strip one out. It's a favourite thing for the cops here, if they want to give you grief, to go over the bike special attention to lights, mirrors & exhausts. I'm going to need a new rear light for my M2 resurrection project, early next year, would be cool to have a LED unit. |

Rah7's, The tail light assembly for an X1 & M2 are "almost" identical. The only difference beint the license plate light. I can send you an M2 for "mock up" purposeses if that'll help your business (Us Tuber guys are ALWAYS looking for more accessories!). I'd be interested in doing 3 bikes at once after you have the tube frames down (X1, M2 & XB9SX) |

P_squared -That would be awesome! I had actually emailed Andy this morning about the price of an M2 housing and lens. I'll be sending you an email shortly! Etennuly -I finally replied. sorry its been crazy busy for me these past few days. I look forward to those Uly pics! Thanks again! -Robert Hall |

I just love all the progress in the LED design. 35 years ago I did a high-school electronics paper on LEDs. I just didn't figure that it would take this long to get to the point where we are now. |

My Uly needs more lights pointing forward, not backward. How about some LED headlights. |

Sanchez -I wish I could help you out! I do want to get some of those High powered LED's to play with, but I doubt it will go very far. we will see. Iamike -Wow, I can only imagine how the technology was 35 years back. Did they look the same? |
