At MBW Motorcycle Products, Inc. we don't consider imitation to be the sincerest form of flattery; it's stealing.
We
are the original developer and manufacturer of custom LED turn signals
for a variety of bikes, starting over 5 years ago with the Kawasaki
Mean Streak. They were developed as a cost effective alternative
to frenching, with an emphasis on ease of installation, a clean and
tight fit and reasonable cost. Beware of low budget rip-off
imitators that are using, among other things, the wrong LEDs for the
job. We have an exclusive agreement with the manufacturer
of the (patented) flexible LEDs arrays that we use, and no one else can
use them to manufacture similar products. The LEDs we use are
high intensity and are specifically designed to be used for direct view
applications (like turn signals), and are not accent or similar
non-direct view application LEDs that are dangerously inappropriate and
inadequate for use as turn signals due mainly to their lack of
visibility. We're also the first to incorporate the belt tensioning
gauge into our Victory sidemount design and develop it into a simple,
yet unique, one piece design.
Why
even bring it up? We're more than happy to have our own products
judged solely on their own merit, but have had complaints from
dissatisfied people who thought they were buying our product and ended
up with a poor substitute that was nothing more than a badly made
rip-off.We have numerous vendors and dealers that stock and install our
products (including Custom Dynamics )
and would recommend that if you have any questions as to the
authenticity of an LED turn signal or sidemount to be an MBW original,
to contact us directly.
