Take your tail light to a competent body shop for the same look!
They'll spray a light see through coat of flat black & a clear coat on top of it for less than $40!

This is the same unit as that sold by Bike Monkey. The quality of the unit is equal to the stock one in every way.

Thanks Nigel, that's what I was wondering.

Does anyone know if the integrated indicators in the tail light are road legal in the UK? I like the look of the dark smoke on the Motorsport bike in the vid but whith the indicators I'd worry about drawing any more attention to the bike when passing the feds.

I think indicators that clearly signal your intentions to other drivers are so important that I wouldn't mess with these for road use personally. I've got the BMW L.E.D. indicators and they are stylish and very functional.....

They claim it is street legal in the UK but then again they are trying to sell a product.

Thanks guys. I would keep my stock indicators as well as the additional LEDs in the integrated tail light because I too believe it's important to show the cagers where you're going. I ride in all weathers so I thought an extra flashed would be useful.
