Honestly I've been thinking along the same route for my Aero. My tail light works fine, but the rack its connected to is beat to * and barely staying connected.

I'll be sure to let everyone know if anything turns up in my searching.

I was surprised that only one other person on here went for this Aero/Vision light that available from England Ebay($40 shipped). At least the Aero even gets an option. I like it...

I tried searching for that Aero light and couldn't find it. Do you have a link/email for the seller?

:b2t: I also would like to see an LED tailight and turn signal setup for my other scoot-in-process.

Oh, I'm an idiot! I thought it came with a whole new light housing as well as the lens, turns out it is just the lense :oops:

If that option had popped up before I went through the time and $$$ tracking down both rear lenses and the plastic that goes between them I would definitely go that route. Any luck getting the brake light to not heat up too much in that setup?

Hmmm... now I'm rethinking things, especially after seeing how much the stand alone LED setups cost.

The jdm style lights that daywot sells for the elite s to me makes the bike look good.
