Any one have a recommendation for changing the tail light/brake light bulb on the F4? The 12w/5w sure is dim. I don't want to change the stock setup.

I trimmed and reloacted my plate and did the Clear Alternatives integrated tail/brake/turn signal. Worrks pretty good. Better than the same setup I have on my 996

+1 on the clear alternatives integrated light. Has LED's and are ALOT brighter

I appreciate the posts, but I'm not strong on the clear lens. Being old school, I like the look of the red plastic lens. I was trying to source a brighter bulb.

Carl,

I agree with you. I prefer the red lenses. Tell us what you do for upgrading the bulbs.

Peter

you can always do what i did and get the pirates lair blinker/brakelight in the vent setup.....only prob is i thinkt hey discontinued them

we talked about this in another thread..... i think you have to sorce the stuff from the people directly....
lights = hyperlights
blinker computer = badlands (harley connected somehow)
wires = yourself

Here's the link to Pirates product http://piratesk12site.net/MVhyperlites.htm

+1 Unless its on a black bike, then they also do a smoked version

For my first trick I went to the parts store and bought every bulb that looked like an 1157 (dual filiment, 12v, dual post) Bulb number 2357 seems the best. The running is about the same as stock, maybe a tad brighter, but the brake light looks twice as bright.

Each package contains 2 bulbs and costs $1.50. The cheapest MV upgrade in history.
