Not quite, elrico. The "tail section" refers to the small storage section that is between the seat and the tail light on some of our bikes.
Nothing is "installed" or "lit up", it's just stored there as a spare.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I, too, have been hit from behind by a cage. My KZ1300 was not exactly lit up like a Christmas tree, but it certainly wasn't dark.
About 11pm on a Friday night, waiting in the left turn lane at a light. Left arrow had just come on. As the 6 cars ahead of me started to move, I looked in the mirror as I reached for the clutch. Did not have time to warn my wife on the back seat. Screeeech!! WHAM!! A four-wheel drive pickup skidded for about 30 feet before hitting us. Yeah, he was drunk.
Lights might help, but they won't prevent everything.

Nothing deters idiots: I was hit from behind a couple of years ago in full daylight. Never saw it coming as I was stopped between two semis (and behind a third) on a curved off-ramp. The idiot approached on the curve behind the truck on my left, so he was not visible until he veered around the truck at the last moment.
