Default anyone fit an integrated tail light to a CBR600RR

Just wondering if anyone fitted one of these to the cbr 600rr and if so do they work well... Is the signals clear ??. Looked at a few in youtube and they look weak.
Was thinking of fitting one with flush mounted front indicators

Was thinking about these at some stage but..
while they look good, I considered the muppets that'd be behind me not being able to notice that I'm turning, so I didn't bother.
would like to see one for real, to see if they are "informative" enough.
CBR lens is small enough, I don't know if mrs dumb cage driver would be able to tell if the indicators were on. they are 110% better looking though.

I'd have to agree with Airman that there are way too many cages out there who just wouldnt be paying enough attention for this to work out safely. Looks savage alright though.

Looks nice but not the best in real life situations, what happens is if you're braking to take a turn, the brake light is stronger then the the indicator light so what the unit does is dim the brake light for the second that your indicator flashes so it goes from full red (bright) to half yellow, half red (both dimmer)

It would take the average cager a second or 2 to figure out what was going on but as we all know, how many of them would take the time to stop and figure it out or would they just plough on convinced if they go NOW NOW NOW! that they'll make their important meeting on time and then when you turn right across their path they don't have time to react because they're steering with their knees while drinking an over-priced cup of take away cofee from some fuckhead coffee house that has fucking multiplied like horny rabbits over the last decade, all the while trying to munch on some pouncy fucking bagel or some other European pastry with a weird fucking name, what the fuck ever happened to toast people???

Anyway, moral of the story, they look cool, but not the best thing in real life.

I have daily issues with the fuck heads, might explain my "Fuck'em" attitude to commuting everyday.
