there 275 on the option list.

BTW...i hate sites that make you go through the whole check-out process to get the shipping cost.
'cuse the shipping costs really makes a differance to the overall price.

I got mine from the guy on Ebay. He is a dealer from the Philly area. Do a search for irontoad here on the site. All info is there.

This depends on how large your hand is ( all you others, get your mind out of the gutter! ). The space in the rear is very narrow, which made it difficult to squeeze my sausage sized fingers and hand into the opening to remove the nuts. I believe there are 3 10 MM nuts on the tails to remove them. You can access the nuts by removing the rear panels at each corner. I think it took me 20 minutes to install both sides for the first time. Not a difficult install at all.

That's correct, 4 total, or 2 per tail light
i'm curious volcom, what does the 88 stand for in your screen name? I'm hoping it's the year you were born and doesnt have another meaning...

thanks

Of course its a mod ( mod meaning modified ). Your removing the stock tails and installing something else. There fore you are modding.

As it turns out, this has become a popular thread, and all the info i posted about 4 months back is no longer obtainable through the search button. Here is the link to the page that these guys use ....

http://www.irontoad.com/t_home.htm

I talked to a guy named John who was in relation with the Ebay site and everything posted there. I dont know if he is still there, but at least you have the information to go off of.
