changed my tail light to an LED tail light

alan566 · 05-08-2010, 02:34 PM

First off I will try to get some pics up soon.
I bought this LED
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

Its looks a lot like the tail light a lot of the guys here are using but its a Thailand copy i believe. It only took a hour or so to install it and it looks good on the bike.
I weighted the the orginal tail light and it weighed 1lb 14 oz. the new light and base weights a hair over 6 oz so thats right at 1-1/2 lbs lighter. I like the look alot better than stock too.

lol, it wasn't bad to install. i could of bolted it up to the pre-drilled holes but i wanted it tucked back under the fender more so i drilled two holes in the plastic holes. it looks just like the DRC Edge II Taillight to me with a little different housing. its brighter than the stock taillight, especially at night.

If you have the time, we would love to see some photos, Alan.

Thank you for posting the very nice photos, Alan; your new tail light looks great!

Your tail light looks just like a DRC Edge II, but you saved a few dollars, proving you are a true China Rider!

P.S. Your FMF TC2, and mirrors also look great! You have done a super job modifying your Zong.

SpudRider · 05-15-2010, 11:56 PM

Alan, I also see your FMF TC2 has devoured your right, rear reflector; you are truly a full-fledged Zongite!

Jim · 05-16-2010, 12:59 AM

That looks really good

alan566 · 05-16-2010, 08:31 AM

Spud and Jim, thanks for the nice comments!
And Spud I removed the reflector after i installed the FMF TC2. I knew it would get it so I decided take it off first.
About the FMF TC2 install, I made the mistake of cutting the pipe in the wrong place and having to have it welded back together and then cut it again. I didn't take many pics because i was scratching my head most of the time trying to figure out how i cut this pipe in the wrong place. lol

SpudRider · 05-16-2010, 01:20 PM

Well, maybe you did cut twice, but the effort was worth it, Alan!

The FMF TC2, and your entire bike looks great.

I am sure you noticed a power increase after you ditched the heavy, restrictive, stock muffler! 8)

alan566 · 05-16-2010, 04:17 PM

yea you are right about the power increase spud, it was definitely worth it. these are nice bikes for the money.

Amen!

Were you one of the guys who got his Zong for $1,000, delivered?

Spud

alan566 · 05-17-2010, 09:41 PM

Spud, yep i got one for $1000 shipped. really $1030. i wanted to use paypal because i have had good luck with there paypal protection in the past and i wanted that extra insurance but that was my choice. The bike got here real fast and i can't believe it was such a nice bike for the money. i have only seen a zong on the net so i relied on the info i got from this site! thanks
