Want To Buy Want to buy- Integral taillight for 1199

Gents, I am looking for an integral taillight for my 1199. I am looking for the model that was made by Talbot, and sold on here. This model uses the stock assembly and flashes one side or another to signal a turn. (Red only, no external or internal amber lights)

I am NOT looking for the CW version with the annoying LED that stays on for an hour.

Thanks

I did buy one from him and works great.

I've read somewhere that he's not making them anymore though.

Yup

Yup, spoke to him directly. Nice guy. He did stop making them. Thats why I am looking for one on here.

Hadn't heard about this...what's exactly the issue?? Sorry for the thread drift but its a free bump.

LED issue

When you turn off the key a single LED light stays on for 30-60 minutes after the ignition is off. Without rendering my opinion on the matter, I can say when I called the manufacturer the gentleman I spoke with was agitated that I asked for a simple reason this was on the product (Like I was the 100th person).

He likened it to the theft device that radios have with a blinking LED. I retorted that the dash already has one and having a light stay lit after I parked only drew even more attention to my bike, or at the least had people passing by chasing me down and telling me my lights were on.

He got more agitated and said "well they are all like that."...After that I spoke to one of the distributors for the product who also advised it was stupid and the only plausible explanation was that it was a capacitor needed for the CANbus interface and they needed a way to discharge it. So they came up with a solution for an answer instead of the opposite.

Regardless, I wont buy it.
