Clear Alternatives Taillight

What’s happening everyone? Check out my newest modification on Project Fireblade, a taillight from Clear Alternatives. It’s nice to have a working tail light again! I got the clear lense to sort of “match” the rest of the bike. LOL.

It is a pretty basic setup that pops right into where the stock tail light was. All you have to do is unhook the old one, put the new light in it’s place, hook up the wires and you are done! It is a LED set up as opposed to the stock setup that used regular bulbs.

LED’s are brighter than bulbs and can be seen much better from a distance and at night. They also last a lot longer than conventional bulbs. It uses integrated turn signals which cleans up the tail section nicely. This setup also has a built in license plate light on the bottom section of the tail light. It will fully illuminate your plate so you won’t have to worry about adding a separate license plate light, or get pulled over for not having one.

Clear Alternatives makes some pretty trick products and this one is no exception. Its form is as good as its function. Happy Riding and stay tuned!

    Scorpion High Level Exhaust

    Hey guys, it’s Matt here again! This time I want to show you all how my exhaust looks and sounds. It is a Scorpion High Level slip on system. It sounds pretty good. It is stainless steel and is very good at corrosion resistance, I would know because I ride in the rain all the time! Ha ha!

    This bolt on silencer is available in all finishes both round and oval. I have the high level system which includes the half system collector which connects to the original four bolt flange.

    When you start it up in the mornings, it has a nice growl to it as the engine starts to warm up. At idle, it is nice and mellow but once you get on the gas, people will definitely know you are there. This is my first aftermarket exhaust system and it is a very fun feeling when you open up the throttle and you can hear your machine echoing off of nearby buildings and overpasses! I would recommended this system to anyone who wants to add a bit of performance to their bike as well as a nice sound for an affordable price.

      Project Fireblade

      Hello everyone! My name is Matt and I am a new staff writer here at Inline Performance Magazine. I am very excited to be a part of this organization and I can’t wait to get started! I currently work as a Sales and Parts Specialist for Road Rider Motorcycle Accessories in San Jose, CA. So if you are in the South Bay stop by and say hello!

      My current bike is a 2000 Honda CBR 929RR. It is currently a project bike as I bought it from a friend after he couldn’t hold a wheelie, haha! It’s all good though, as I still ride the bike everyday rain or shine, in all the back roads of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

      So far the mods it has are, a Power Commander III which has been mapped and dyno’d to 130 WHP, a highmount Scorpion exhaust, steel braided front and rear brake lines, a Cbr 954rr swing arm and 954 front forks. It also has an integrated taillight as well as flush mount turn signals. The frame and seats were also painted bright orange to help with viability.

      I am currently working towards turning it into a track bike, as opposed to the daily commuter it is currently workhorsing as. Future mods will include a new exhaust system, frame sliders, track plastics (as well as getting the street plastics painted), new sub frame, new engine casings, steering damper, and some shiny new wheels.

      Well that’s all for now, stay tuned and ride safely everyone!
