I have been checking out the LED brake light manufactured by Adventure Tech out of BC Canada...Looks like an easy install. Any F650 riders have one yet...If so have you found it (or any other recommended brand) reliable? Also, does anyone know if they are associated with now defunct Gizmo Mill Brake! lights (coincidentally also out of BC Canada)?

I've had a Brake! LED taillight on my bike for years. I've had several comments that it lights up as bright as a flare and definitely gets your attention. There seems to be some confusion as to the company still being around but the light is simple and full proof, nothing really to break on it. You simply take your old bulb out and put this one in it's place. It's also available at Road Rocketeer for $135.

Wow
I feel cheated. All i did was buy a 1156 LED lamp at Autozone for $15.00

Thanks for the input on Road Rocketeer...Two years ago I actually had an LED Brake! light from Gizmo Mill but I sent it back for repairs (the light would remain in bright/brake mode even without engaging the brake). Shortly after the return I never heard form the company again...thought I was out of $150.

Anyway, thanks to your input, I was able to contact them and was promised they would "make it right":clap

I love mine too! I feel it makes a big difference because I notice vehicles will tend to stay farther away from me.
