Valenti Tails

Is this too good to be true?...seems like a great price and I was thinking of getting Buddy Club, but with these being half the price...it is difficult to resist this...what do you think?

Those are Valenti "style" tail lights, not actual Valenti.

Personally I would spend a little extra for the actual Valenti lights, especially from one of the very good vendors on this forum. When I received mine the left light had a broken piece and it was replaced within a few days at no cost to me.

If you're going to buy from that ebay listing, I'd highly suggest contacting the seller first and asking what their warranty/replacement policy is. If you get a dud, you don't want to be dealing with runarounds and jumping through hoops.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice...I guess I did not realize there was a difference!

No @Stodium. Last I heard @MemphisR, they were waiting on 6 sets to come back from Valenti. I'm on my second pair and also waiting. The company is called Black Beat Motor now.
