New lights coming
 
New lights came in, mounted tonight. I think they add nicely to the front at night - see tomorrow how they do in sunlight. Not as bright or as focused as I had hoped. Does little in the daytime (last time I buy any lights without seeing them first hand.http://s17.postimage.org/eawj8pmor/lights.jpg

Moved amber LEDs to the back fender to augment the brake light. They are more noticable from a fair distance.

Found on Ebay. They got here tonight, hooked them up to battery and straight on they are bright. Mis-spoke though, they are DRL's not driving lights. Am going to mount tomorrow after MSF driving range and will attach pictures of finished product.

Thought mounting vertically along shocks looked better than sticking out like wings :-)

Just to be silly and paranoid you could mount them on 1 foot extensions to make the bike look wider and bigger. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
The lights look good. Can you tell us how much power they draw and what they cost?
