Parting out my bike

[bpdchief]

Amber to clear on front / Amber to red on rear. DID you know that in my home state of Oklahoma the only vehicles (for use on Public roadways) required to have a functioning speedometer are
1. Motorcycles
2. School Buses

Using the front lights as running/turn lights on the rear of the bike is just a thought. I had amber LEDs wired to the brake lights and got very favorable remarks from local deputies about how it made the bike standout when stopping or tapping the brakes to make sure I was seen (they just weren't as waterproof as advertised)

Motorcycles, school buses and police cruisers I hope.lol.

The bright element of the front signal would be an excellant way to become more visible on the rear. Up here in the GWN a brake light "must" be red or we suddenly become a person of interest. Heh heh.

Incase I wasn't clear as I seldom am. :skeptical: ... I had the amber led's wired to come on WITH the factory red Tail/Brake light, and would do same with the "front" lights

Yup, I got that.

On my Vstrom I mounted an LED 3.5 inch trailer light just below the OEM rear light and it was very good and much brighter than stock. I also used a brake light modulator on the Vstrom. Lynda's M-50 has a factory LED tail light but the HyperLight LED brake lights she wanted make the OEM light look dim by comparison. The HyperLights flash 4 times and then go on steady when the brakes are applied. Very eye catching.
I have read in the recent past that only 4% of accidents involve getting hit from behind on a bike. Still too high a % in my opinion. Just ask the riders with whiplash and broken backs.

I'm still interested in the headlight and bracket. Did you have the chance to take a picture of it yet? How much for shipping to 41042?

[one2sing4u]

Looking for Engine Guards and Sissy Bar if you have.

[boostfreak]

Is this guy still around?

Looking for left and right handlebar switches.

[Amantaban]

Looking for a gas tank. What color? Any damage? How much?

Thanks.

Gas tank was sold to me already :o)
