From the 2D photo, it looks identical to the Radiantz light I got thru L&M with my Reaper Rear Fender.

You linked eBay seller has a very intense website:
SPORTBIKELITES

I'd search thru it and see if the (a) make their own lights, or (b) re-sell from folks like a/o including Radiantz.

BTW, their site sux! No search??!!

But, they have a multi-page Product Index you can eyeball - it's somewhat in alphanumeric order. Fury items are on page 2:
Product Index

I'd write them and ask if they made this product or just are reselling it.

I ordered this one had to wait two weeks to get it and was disappointed it is platisc mounting bracket which was cracked when I got it. Only has 10 leds not very bright, and did not wrap the fender because it was not concaved correctly. I bit the bullet and bought the raw been waiting almost a week now hopefully soon

I assumed it'd be lower quality....still......its more than half of the Raw. I'm seriously considering it, must be a way to inexpesivly improve the bracket.

Bracket I was going to make a new one but thought I already spent money on a inferior product(lesson learned) I want to do it right and have as much visibility as possible this one just did not cut it for me! JMHO but I have not received my rawone yet so I can not really compare hopefully someome with the raw will chime in!

I currently have the RAW, but I am in the process of installing the L&M rear fender with the Radiantz. I have been told the RAW is slightly thicker and longer so it wraps slightly more around the side of the fender, but I can't confirm this yet because I have not installed the Radiantz yet. The RAW is all red when on and when the turn signal is flashing half the brake light flashes in red so half your brake light flashes. It makes your trun signal very obvious while still staying red. I really liked this option, but I think the RAW may not fit as well on my new fender. The Radiantz is mostly red when on except for the ends on each side which flash in the normal turn signal color when your turn signal is on.

From my how-to post, here's how the L&M Radiantz light works:

It was mounted by Painter when he did my fender for me.
L&M sells the light, fender and scalloped tail with instructions how to install the light.
