LED Tail Light
I have just ordered a LED Tail light for my MS. I will pst my opinions of it once I have had it fitted.
Has anybody already fitted one?

I\'ve got a cheap LED brake light I use for running trackday fairings on the road.
I looked at "proper" motorbike LED lights and they charged a fortune - circa £50-£60!!!

A quick glance at Ebay offered auxillary brake LED lights for £6!! Nice one.

No doubt if these are official Ducati ones they'll cost hundreds!!!

Is it much of an improvement over the standard with regard to brightness. I know that it iluminates fractionaly faster than the standard

I never got around to posting a picture of the LED rear light mainly because it externally it looks just like the standard one. Also because at my age the memory starts to go. However
I am more than pleased with the difference when it is switched on as it is a lot brighter and therefore safer than the standard
