jmkapala Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 I know that i had seen a taillight conversion on here somewhere. It was a taillight off of either a r1 or a r6 (the new L.E.D. style), but i dont remember which. can someone tell me how tough this is to convert.was it compatible w/ the brake light, was it worth it (visability), how bad did it pull off the stator......etc. Quote
BigRed350x Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 I remember seeing a banshee on ebay a while back that had the entire cowling off an R6 on the back end instead of typical banshee plastics. It looked sweet as hell and I've been wanting to do that for the longest time since I saw that pic.... Quote
CadillacBanshee Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 I seen that bike on ebay. I got just the 2007 r6 led taillight on the back of mine. Just mounted it with a thin peice of bent flatbar. Looks great and have not had a problem since i put it in. Quote

I fabbed the bracket out of some aluminum I had laying around. I set the taillight a little further under the bike and a bit tighter to the plastics. Just reused the rubber mounts from the old taillight bracket. http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...Z+450+Taillight I've been running it for right about a year and I love it. It's amazing how many people will stop me and say, "That taillight is cool as hell!" It's also nice and bright for tighter sand trail riding at night; really grabs the attention. Quote

350TwinDeathBed Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Here's BansheeCJ3's tail light conversion. He used one off of a GSXR. BansheeCJ3's tail light thread I saved the pic of the eBay Banshee with the crotch rocket rear end on my computer at home. If no one gets to it first, I'll post it up tonight.

Tim C Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 I like both, but i think that the R6 Tl looks super clean.......how tough was the install? I made a couple of brackets to mount it and connected the wires. My Banshee is a 1994 so it doesn't have a brake light The R6 light has 3 wires so if you have a brake light you'd hook up all three but without a brake light you only hook up 2 wires. It's a LED light so they say they draw less power then I regular light but I don't know for sure but I haven't had any problems with it Quote
jmkapala Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) I LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIKE that!!!!!! tail section anyways....... Edited February 1, 2007 by jmkapala Quote
