Re: My 2007 GZ250 3,717 miles
There is rarely anything you can do to hide some of the added wiring. All you can do is try to make it neat and professional looking. With the LED lights you can use a #22 wire(thinner) and hide it in sight with small diameter flexible plastic conduit to protect it.
The main reason for mounting lights to the forks is to create a triangular lighting effect from the bike. This has been proven to be most effective visually to oncoming traffic. The color change to Amber it probably a good thing in my opinion because the majority of lights out there are clear. The main idea is to stand out in traffic. I did at one time have Amber lights mounted on the Vstrom forks and received comments about the visual impact. All good too. The only bad part was the fact that Halogen bulbs don't like being mounted on the forks and receiving all the road shocks. I replaced quite a few until one day I dropped the bike and one light was tragically mangled beyond belief. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
