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.

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









Galvanized fence clamps blend nicely with forks and easy to rebend to fit. Do have to drill new bolt holes and cut excess.

Re: New lights coming

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.

Re: New lights coming

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

Re: New lights coming

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?
