Should be all right, if you like the bling bling type. There are lots out there as the same unit exactly is still used today by other manufacturers, Yamaha Aerox 50 scooter, BMW motorcycles also. Same rear light used on a lot of Bims, YB11, DB4 etc. Some folk have bought from china which has combined indicators in the mens and reckon they're OK also

Cagiva raptor too...

Thanks for the help I think its to bling as well, but the alternative i the original. So if you have some links where I can find some other I would be very happy.

Is your original broken? Or are you wanting to change it for an LED version?

I'm not sure if the YB9 SR and SRi rear lights are the same.

According to the bible by Mr Sarti, the only distinguishable differences are the carbon fibre air ducts set alongside the windshield, and the parking light now set in the headlight, and the fairing now breaks down into 3 pieces to make it easier to dismantle, but theres no shots of the rear light unit

The above gives listings of other bikes with same rear unit, but no, it doesn't list the injected model

Try one of these. Got one on my yb11 and db4.
Quality seems ok, although elec connector has to be removed and suitable connections put on, but not the end of the world.
They say 12-24 days but always got mine within the 12 days and at 17GBP which strangely enough is the limit for duty and VAT, there is nothing else to pay.

It look s nice. What are the problem with the electric that you mention? And how have you solved that? And thank you for the suggestion

Electrical connector is not a straight fit to the Bimota wiring. It is supplied with a 3 pin small connector
On the YB11 this was easy, the bike harness was a 3 large pin connector that went straight onto the back of the light. Just a matter of cutting the supplied connector off the light, putting 3 large spade connectors on the wires, and then plugging the individual spade connectors into the YB's multi connector. I guess the yb9 will be similar set up.

The wiring/connectors on the DB4 are better quality, so sealed connectors etc, so a bit more work.

Well within the skill set of the average Bimota owner.

hahaha yes i guess so. I just changed the original blinkers to some carbon ones in LED nobody told me that I had to fit some more wirering to get it to blink as it should. But got it to work:)

[laminator]

Are you after a new light because the old one is broken? Or, you just want to change the original to an LED version?

[jakoblt]

Hi
It dosent have to be an LED but just one that look more up to date. It looks like its stolen from a moped. So im open for anything

[jakoblt]

And the original is working fine. I just dont like it
