    different taillight bulbs

    I finally got my permit and am driving my GS.(81 GS450L) I had some friends following me today and they said the tail light is pretty much non-existent. Its very light and can't see it at all. Where can I get a better bulb, perhaps a LED version? Only other solution I can think of is adding another rear taillight or two to help out. Any ideas? With me being a first-time rider I am very over-causcious and even though I also use hand signals I want my taillight to be really bright and noticable.

    I've found this site to be useful for what you're interested in:



    Be aware that not all LED's are equal. Some of the cheaper varieties are dimmer than your existing tail light. You may also want to consider getting a pulsating headlight and/or brake light. Make sure that they are legal in your riding area.

      Based on the following article and some related research, I am running 2357LL (Long Life = 800 hours on the brake filament) bulbs in all my tail/brake lamps. A 25% brighter brake lamp for $1.25 http://www.webbikeworld.com/Motorcyc...ight-bulbs.htm

        I wanted something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...550121335&rd=1
        but can't seem to find one for my GS450l. I can't even find a part number to cross-reference with.
