K1200RS/GT/S/R BRAKE LED Kit Customer Comments

Latest 8/1/06: Recently, I’ve purchased a few products from you for my -04 K1200GT. The rear “Brake” led light is as good if not better than advertised, it’s very bright, a real attention getter and easy to install. Highly recommended! Thanks for the prompt shipping.

Just wanted to say thanks again for the fine service. I really dig the new tail-light man! Very cool indeed and super visible.

Followed both sets of instructions (yours and the manifacturer) and I'd like to add that its easier if you take the housing and led kit and do the install on a work table (in my case, the kitchen table). The light is so visible and when in the flashing mode is defenitely an advantage to drivers behind. Great bang for the buck on this item

I've tried just about every accessory light on the market... some are good.. some are crap.. but I have to admit.. the Brake LED Light Kit is simply the best accessory light I have seen.. ever. Install was relatively painless. Took me about 20 minutes. I left mine in the default mode which flashes then goes solid and it will get your attention. I actually feel safer with this on my 98 KRS... Big thumbs up!

The LED Brake kit works great!!It even works well with my BMW LED kit under the licence plate....it really backs people off!

Love the LED lights I've added. Just put them on yesterday and haven't had a chance to go for a ride yet, but I kept going out to the garage last night to check them out with all the other lights turned off. Very cool. I'm glad I put them on...

Received the taillight replacement and finally got around to installing it. I can absolutely say it is one of rare times a product actually exceeds its claims. Although a little harder to install than I had originally thought, the instructions are clear and well written. NOTE: When the instructions say it is a tight fit, they are NOT joking. But, once the new light assembly was finally stuffed into the light housing, the installation went along smoothly. ANOTHER NOTE: Don't let the "positioning ribbon" come apart and slip off the light assembly, this requires you to fish the new light assembly out of the taillight and re-attach the ribbon then re-stuff the new assembly into the housing once again. Please note that I live in NYC and do not have a garage nor a meaningful set of tools, so the fact I could actually get this done at all is a testament to the ease of installation.
From a performance perspective, the new brake light is unbelievable. Originally, I had supplanted my stock taillight with the BMW Auxiliary taillight. I had thought the BMW Auxiliary taillight at least a 150% improvement over the stock bulb. The new LED replacement is actually brighter and more conspicuous than the BMW Auxiliary unit. I put the program on "long" which brightly flashes for say 3 seconds, then rapidly flashes for a second before becoming steady. Bright, Bright, Bright is the three best things I can say about the new light. It looks absolutely stock, and IMHO way better than the other flashing solutions there are out there (no disrespect intended as I know you sell a few yourself). Again, probably the best single thing I have added to the bike. I know you will sell a ton of these as soon as my other K1200 buddies see the difference, I cannot give you a higher recommendation for the product.

Just wanted to let you know….The LED brake light kit……..this item is trick ! Even the freakin’ blue hairs with the cataract sunglasses keep off your tail with this thing. It’s BRIGHT ! I notice that cars stop a lot further behind me, and react to the pulsing brake light much quicker. Install is a snap.Thanks.

Jerry, oops sorry, Mr. Danger...I just received and installed the Brake LED Tail Light and this thing is great so I've decided to get another to install in my other K12RS. It already has the BMW LED Bar below the license plate but it is nothing compared to the Brake LED Tail Light. I had also considered installing the BMW LED Light Bar on the new K12 but I don't believe I will after seeing the Brake LED in operation. Looking at them side by side the BMW LED Bar doesn't hold a candle to the BRAKE LED. Love it!..... Great Product!!!

Got the lights installed. Everything went great. The cars really do stay 10 feet further back!! I'll certainly call on you again.
Rick Corsi / BMW K1200GT / Chandler, AZ
I have installed the Brake LED Kit that I ordered from you as well as a Clear brake light cover and it is great! I love the look at the LEDS are great.

I have just installed the Brake LED Taillight Kit in conjunction with the Clear Taillight Assembly on my '03 K12RS. All I can say is Wow! It looks great and functions even better. This combo is definitely worth the effort to modify the new taillight assembly. Your instructions were clear, concise, and right on the money. The entire job took about 20 minutes and the results were beyond all my expectations. Words cannot describe how cool this is. You might consider posting an mpg or avi movie of this combo in operation. Thanks!
Charles Kizer / 2003 K1200RS / Tijeras, NM
Took 10 minutes to install, 15 minutes to reinstall since I did not check the settings for 2 seconds of flashing before screwing in the last two screws. SUPER light!! Cars now stop another length behind me. They must think it's got nuclear emisions!

Just had my K1200S Brale LED Kit installed this morning and ! WOW! , looks great......!
Mauricio Torres / 2005 K1200S / McAllen, TX
Please disregard the last e-mail questioning the smallness of the LED's in the "S" Kit. Thought I would check back and let you know that I installed the kit and it is much brighter than I would have suspected. So in the words of Roseanne Roseannadanna, "Never mind". It is a cinch to install. The only special tool required is a ten year old child with a small enough hand to reach in and turn the key to unlock the seat.

The K1200S Brake LED light is grreat. The instructions were crystal clear, the fit perfect, and the f@#$ing bike ran just fine. The electrical stuff scares me, but both the horn and lights are idiot proof. Pics of light install not worth it, the instructions that good. The flashing is very noticable, I set it for 1.5 secs, may reset to 2 secs.
