looks like mototech. i haven't been able to get them to return a call or e-mail for 2 years now.

**Josephd14** · 08-13-07, 05:17 PM

yup mototeck it is..

site is here.. Mototeck Web Site

**Jim** · 08-13-07, 05:33 PM

wow, you guys are quick. much thanks.
So if one of my directionals are junk, what should I do?
harass them to order a replacement, order someone else's LED and try to make it fit, or order a new mototech undertail kit?

Resolder the traces on the board??

**KillBill** · 08-13-07, 05:47 PM

If you can just, replace the LED's. No need to buy a whole new kit

I'm sure other people have experienced the same problem

**Josephd14** · 08-13-07, 05:51 PM

not that easy bill, it can't be replaced with just any led light it is a circuit board.. I've often though about ordering extras for mine while I can still find them, just in case down the road.. I also wish I never wasted the money on something that can get me killed because it is impossible to see in the day, and not much better at night..

**Jim** · 08-13-07, 05:51 PM

when i went to solder the power wire back ont he board, i must have touched the wire to the wrong part on the board and zipped it. it wont light up anymore.
How can I replace the LED's if they dont return anyone's calls?
I really appreciate all the quick reponses guys. Gixxer.com didnt give me any feedback on this question.

I've got a clear alternatives on my Tl and it's brighter that stock, by far. Just my opinion but look into them. Regards, Jake

Yea I wish I had shopped around a bit more, I ended up adding some blinkers in those port holes on the rear cowl, like alotta the TLR guys do, that and I use alotta hand signals when in traffic..

Yea Its a Mototek alright. They are fine to deal with. I ordered 2 led strips to replace both blinkers along with the resistors to correct the blinking speed for like 30 bucks.

You serious? That's great news! One of my 1157 LED bulbs was flickering so I just replaced them with better ones tonight too.
Did you order them reciently & did you have any problems?

You can do it right on the website, I wasn't exactly sure just whitch ones I needed so I called while I was on their site and the guy just told me the part numbers as I selected each item. It took all of about 3 minutes. Oh this was this spring sometime. Early April maybe?

**Jim** · 08-14-07, 09:11 AM

do you have the same undertail kit as me? if so, do you know what part #'s you did order? I've been calling since yesterday and they're not picking up

Yup I had Clear Alternatives on my TL too, nice and bright, even with the smoked lens.

**Jim** · 08-14-07, 02:07 PM

I just got a hold of Mototeck and I'm in the process of getting 2 new flashers with resistors. He said like $20 for them.

**NEWTREADS** · 08-15-07, 09:17 PM

Oh cool u got to them. I think they are in Toronto? Mine was for an 04 f4i

**Jim** · 08-15-07, 09:20 PM

well i didnt get anything yet. they called me today. the replacement LEd flasher and resistor need new pictures to be shown on the website. So they told me to order any flasher that was $9.99, and to write in the comments that I'm actually ordering the LED resistors. $15 for shipping too. Waiting to get my notification from PayPal to submit payment, so they can ship it.

Do you know of them being just as good on the TLR?? I really am thinking of getting rid of my Mototeck I really don't like it, and I cringe every time I got to get a new insp. sticker..

**Jim** · 08-15-07, 10:26 PM

why do you cringe? they wont pass it? i've had tons of problems getting my bike inspected, but never anything with the undertail kit

**Jim** · 10-01-07, 06:40 AM

FYI, it was a mototech undertail. I installed my replacement LED's with resistors yesterday. Resistors slow it down a little bit, but not much. Thanks for everyone's help.

I don't have any experience with the TLR. Sorry. Regards, Jake

**snowborder** · 10-01-07, 08:14 AM

Just add one normal bulb and hide it somewhere under your cowl on each side... that''ll fix it.

**Jim** · 10-01-07, 07:20 PM

already installed the new LEDs. They only charged me for the resistors, so it wasnt that bad

What is this undertail kit?
