is that the clear, or smoked, shown in the picture above?

 

That's the smoke I think. The lens is clear but the background is black. I think it will look good on your matte grey.

 

Best Tail light out there imo. The sequential flash makes it a lot more clear what way you're signalling. I have a regular integrated on my 08 and its not the best for notifying people which way you want to go. Heres the smoked on my 09.

 

Out of curiosity, once the tail light is installed did your flush mounts blink at the proper speed? I just ordered this integrated setup for my 09' and I understand that there are resistors built in that will fix the fast flash....any truth to that or did I drink my lunch?

 

The signals will flash at the normal rate. They have load resistors built into each light, front and rear.

 

@ OP - I was thinking of getting the same integrated tail ('11 R1) but I have slight hesitance because the integrated signals would be so small in the little tail light. While the blinking brake signal is a huge plus, I'm not sure grandpa will be able to tell where I'm turning and crush me in his Cadillac instead. I already have a motodynamic integrated tail on my FZ8 but its twice the size of the R1's. While I appreciate a clean tail, I'm a little bit of a safety nerd too. Any truck sitting too high won't even see the tail itself let alone the turn signal.

 

Thats part of the reason why I kept going back and forward about with MD or update to the new CustomLED.

I think I'm going to update my old CustomLED to the newer one.

 

^ are you talking about the Motodynamic front turn signals, or oem?

 

Motodynamic.

My front signals needed resistors to get the normal flash rate with the moto tail light

 

There is a relay for that. Much better than inline resisters. Less than a 5 minute job because the relay you replace is behind the instrument panel under the windscreen.

They've rebuilt their site. Nice.

Blinker Fix Here

 

....yeah I know, so are the resistors that Motodynamic sells. All I'm saying is that you need either a resistor or a relay kit to slow the flash rate. Without one they'll blink very fast and not be sequential(with the Motodynamic tail).

 

............oh. Ok :lol

I'd rather do the relay. :sneaky

 

I have relays running to the flushies and aux running lights and they all flash at the proper speed but now my motodynamic is double speed.

I thought the relays would keep all the speeds proper but apparently not. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix the MD and slow it down?
