I just bought a 2012 fz8.. I am trying to decide if I should just get the targa fender eliminator kit with the blinkers or if I should get the integrated tail light. Is it very hard to install the integrated tail light? I really have no experience wiring anything.. Let me know what you guys think. THX!
Integrated Tail light installation

Thanks man... I just got into riding and went and got the FZ8 and I want to get rid of that ugly fender. I just was looking at some of the wiring schematics for the integrated taillight and it was a bit over my head. I am sure it is easier than it looks. I just don't want to end up messing something up and have to pay someone to fix it.

I just put on my targa and love it, the mini cat lights are nice and the bracket isn't too big so when I go to a integrated tail light ill just take off the cat lights. Last page has pics.

Yes definitely get the integrated tail light, It's a great mod! Brighter than stock and seems to get the attention of the cages behind you better than the stock tail light. And it looks amazing too. I have the Motodynamic it was super simple to install. Worth every penny! Custom LED makes one too that I've heard good things about

yep pretty much as everyone has said it's plug and play. a bit easier than installing LED blinkers because of the plugs.
Installing integrated brake and sequential signals on Fz8
the instructions here are a bit wrong. there are 8 snaps on the bottom not 6 and 2 bolts on top with two plastic screws to remove the cowl.

Do it
Totally plug n play, easy for even a not so handy type person I would say. Take your time, get the tail apart one step at time, wiring is nothing since you don't have to "do" anything except plug in the harness. There's a couple tutorials I think, feel free to email me anytime for help if you get stuck. Anyone can absolutely install the Motodynamics taillight, yezzir

you should see a very little rubber part at the back of the tail light, remove it and there's your button to change the settings. I found out that it's better to change the settings before you put everything back together too.

I did a fender eliminator kit off ebay with a led for the plate, and motor dynamic integrated tail light (clear) and it took me around an hour just because I fiddled around so much making sure everything was honky dory.
Easy to do and great looking
oh the fender kit was like 29 bucks shipped and it is great
