How much?

 

what is the retro fit?

 

Just the circuit board. You have to open up your stock light housing and install the new board then seal it back up and install.

 

Nice!!

 

They also included there flasher relay so I could check that on the 09 too. It took me a while to find the damn stock relay its behind the instrument panel.

Really?? Balls to that. They make the thing harder to find on each model...they really don't want you modifying that thing. On the 06 it was right under the seat. On the 07-08 it's hidden underneath the PCM.

I like the way the 09 taillight is wider and gives you more area for the signal.

 

any idea where i can order mine? how much did it run you?

 

Available from Custom LED directly here: 2009 YZF R1 Blaster-X Tail Light :rock
McCoy MotorSports is accepting pre-orders also, but I couldn't find the link.

Retrofit kit runs $99.99. Complete unit pricing to be determined.

Retrofit kits should start shipping on or before 4/30/09
Complete units estimated at 5/30/09.

 

that taillight looks really good. Now toss those huge cans and replace with something smaller :thumbup

 

Leos are on the way. They originally sent me the wrong model so I had to wait a little bit longer.

 

LOOKS GOOD:thumbup

 

kool

 

Looks good! Now I must decide... Retrofit or complete kit?

JBauer, what FE are you using? Is it the Yamaha FE unit minus the turn signals?

 

I'm using the FE with the turn signal brackets off ebay from creese1. I just don't use the turn signals.

 

Here's the direct link off the McCoy Motosports website...

im looking at getting this shipped to the uk for my 09 , do you know if i will need the flasher relay or will i be able to order just the tail light ? there site confused me a little as it said the "Sure-Blink Technology" insures there Tail Lights are designed to follow the turn signal commands of the motorcycles flasher relay. This insures it is compatible with all after market and OEM flasher relays , which makes me think it will work fine with my stock unit but then it reccomends using there after market flasher unit ? please help as i have emailed them and not had a response ...

cheers

Alister,

If you want to slow your OEM blinkers to DOT you will need to install the Custom LED ELFR-1 on your system. Please verify compatibility first on your own as this is not a US Spec bike. Your flasher relay is behind the gauge cluster. If you remove the windscreen you can see it.

If you don't mind the fast blink rate that you currently have, you will not need to do anything. The 09 R1 Blaster-X boards have a built in Stage I Load Equalizer to prevent the no-blink condition.

 

Sweet Stuff!

 

Looks nice!

 

Just too damn expensive. Check out what Lockhart Phillips has. It's a lot cheaper for the complete tail light.

 

I dowloaded the Lockhart Phillips catalog and they have an integrated tail light made by light works. Has anyone ever tried this brand? Good or bad?

 

:thumbup

 

I ordered this tail light from Mccoy Motorsports but it is on back order...

 

I've had to cancel my order w/ McCoy. Cops here are cracking down now on anything that doesn't conform to our vehicle safety act. This is one of 'em... weak! The fuzz sucks sometimes!

 

I just got mine from Mccoy and I love this tail light...with the fender eliminator it really cleans things up.

Diel11- Did you install a toggle switch on yours to switch up the patterns? I didnt do this part yet.

 

No toggle switch, I just grounded it manually to see what it did, then left it as it came.

 

I didnt hook one up either but i might play with it later on. Left it as it came for now also.

 

Did you take the stock license plate light off the OEM bracket and fit it to your new fender eliminator? Looks good.:thumbup
