For anyone thinking of buying the Ermax XBR tail-

I have a red tail unit that matches my red 12R perfectly in color. I bought it from Al at American Sportsbike. I had the option of incandesent or LED brake lights (I picked LED). The brake LEDs are bright enough, but I'll probably replace the LED signals, as they're not as bright as I'd like. I had to use a file and shave about 1/32 of plastic trim from around the rear tail tip to get it to fit right, but was otherwise a straightforward install. It does a fairly decent job of cleaning up the tail.

Do you have any pics Tork? Here is my tail for anyone that is interested.

Here ya go. It's the clear lens, all-LED version.

Ermax tail is hawt. But now that SOC has their assembly for the R, I have to hop on that. I have only had my bike a little over a week, but somehow accumulated this big laundry list of things I want done

Looks good Tork. Did that license plate bracket come with yours? The one mine had was totally different and I did not like it at all, so I removed it.

Yeah Apex, the SOC one is cool as hell.

The license plate bracket is actually a "laydown" plate bracket unit for a Harley cruiser. I like it because it allows me to angle the plate a little bit better and run lighting to it more easily. I just mocked it up in place, marked holes, drilled, and mounted with large fender washers behind the undertail.

I've been pulled over a few times for various things, but never been hassled by the Texas badge for my license plate mounting.

I saw a post somewhere on a board that showed some guy doing a pretty cool plate remount on his XBR by simply rotating the stock bracket 180 degrees (front to back) and grinding the ears off the bracket. He was able to make a pretty decent angled plate mount under the tail that way. Of course he still had to rig some plate lighting.

Hmm strange. I e-mailed Jens from Speed of color. Although I live in Canada, he e-mailed back within a day and said it was no problem to order and have him ship. The google language translator doesn't seem to translate the transaction page though.....
