Changing the rear lights?

I reckon the Falco looks pretty good, but I don't like the rear view. I think the main problem is the rear lights. Is there an easy upgrade which doesn't look naff?

Well....

Talk to Nooj re clear lenses

Look through the assorted galleries for ideas

Oh look at the other stuff around the rear end.... Indicators grab rail etc

Crikey - they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that we are all different but I've never previously heard anyone complain about the rear lights. Can't recall previous discussions about alternatives (other than clear or smoked lenses)

For me the rear view really dates the bike. From other angles the bike still looks sharp to me.

Look at the assorted tail today's etc - and the indicators....

Consider the rear foot rest hangers and so on... Have a look at what I have done with mine..... Individual and not dated I think

Think his complaint is more of a "Tail Yesterday"

Rear lights? In that do you mean the stop tail light or the indicators?
I personally love the falco's looks from every angle :smt003

Yes, I like the clear indicators. Is that all that's been done on D-Rider's?

Dam, I think the banana swingarm helps too, hope that idea doesn't take hold :smt003

I've still got the standard indicators. I do have a smoked lens on the tail lights though.

Good grief - you sound like a bunch of teenage gurrls discussing what's the coolest mascara this week. Get a grip, FFS... :smt003

I think the headlight is fairly ugly. I keep getting an urge to attack the front with some fibreglass and a couple of cibies.

Sorry, I meant clear rear lights on D-Riders! So they are smoked then. Where do I get those then?
