LED Signal Lights

[Burnszilla]

Has any company manufactured good LED replacement signal lights that will fit in the K75/K100?

If so, where can I get them?

There are companies that make additional lights for the K75 (and other BMWs) that are LEDs.. but replacing filament bulbs with LED replacements will cause your bulb monitor to think you have burned out bulbs.

The other problem with most of the LED replacement lights I've seen - is while they are bright when looked directly at - at an off angle the brightness fades rapidly. This means your lights will only be really effective when someone is directly in line with them.

For the additional lights - I'd suggest: http://www.run-n-lites

Thanks Don.
My goal is to lower the electrical consumption on my 448W alternator after I added the heated grips and an electric vest. It's going to take a while to find a 700W alternator on eBay.

I already have the Kisan Tech Signalminder with built in running lights, so I don't need the Run-n-lites.

Good News! I found a solution. Brake! LED Tail lights. Cycle Specialties was selling them at the rally, but they didn't have one for the older K bikes.

I emailed them and this was their response:

Hi Stephen:

Thanks for your inquiry, and I apologize for the slow response. We are just
in the process of developing a model to fit the older K-bikes, and fully
expect to have this model available within the next two weeks.

I would be happy to notify you when this model is available. Meanwhile,
please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
