Well, as long as we don't have any shipping issues like last time, the process should go well.

It is all about supply and demand; right now there are 18 people asking to be notified when the light comes back into stock. So hopefully that means there is enough demand for me to have them made and buy them...

Not many other people making parts for our FJ's anymore, so as long as they will make them for me and people want & buy them I should keep having them made.

I have several other slow moving, high dollar items, but I have them when people need them.

Fred,
Where did you get that taillight?  
I would like to have an LED taillight, but don't want integrated turn signals or a smoke lens.  I like to have maximum visibility from the rear lighting.

here's how I did it.  http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=8545.msg79698#msg79698

If you have to choose between smoked and clear, then choose clear.  It can always be tinted at a later time with some of the plastic dyes that are available (usually for kids wanting to smoke the taillights on the civics, but anyhow).  Come to think of it, I wonder if that tint stuff comes in other colors... could do pink for those with the stripe, or some combination of red stripes for those with ambulances or....

Bump for voting purposes...

I am not asking you guys to buy the light I am just looking for your input on which version I should be stocking based on what the majority of the FJ owners would rather see on their bike.

So, please vote whether you are planning on buying on or not so I can get a good representation of which light I should get.

Thanks, Randy - RPM

I want one for sure. I voted in the poll as well as leaving a net on website to be contacted when in stock.

I make oil

Another vote for factory smoke.  I'll be making a order soon for other stuff I need too Randy.  My bike has sat up long enough!   :dance2:  Time to get it going where I want it again.

So we're really just voting on plastic lense shape, right? Both would be tinted, with integrated blinkers?

I voted for OEM, but I'm not picky. I do prefer clear, I think, though.

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

Yes, basically on the light style.

They will have the smoke lens and integrated turn signals built in.

I can tell you since I started selling the lights, the smoke has sold 12 to 1 over the clear, so the clear was never restocked. I still have some of the original clear lights without the turn signals since they only sell 1 to 6 compared to the smoke.

So, smoke is all I will be ordering from now on. When the final clear, non signal, lights are gone they will be deleted from the inventory.

Thanks for voting, Randy - RPM

I want to thank those who voted in the interest of the tail light.

Based on the votes, 73.5% like the O.E. configuration of the light, so that is what I will be ordering.

It is going to be 6-8 weeks before any thought of me seeing them as they have to be made.

Once they are in stock, I will post their arrived.

Again, thank you.
