Extra lights on the crashbars?
Written by mikeyb_houtex on 4/8/2011 at 02:56 am

I have a set of them mounted on some little brass clamps I made myself on the
front of the crash bars. The clamps stick out of the hole in the front of the
protector, and the amber LEDs, while not lighting up the road, definitely light
up the front spats and the sides of the PC, plus make the bike look bigger from
the front.

I also added some yellow LEDs (as mine's yellow like a Gold Wing) in the scoops,
along the trunk seam, and on a little panel I made to mount under the passenger
handrails.

I also have some sewed into the fronts of the seat to try to light up the panels
in front of my legs, but my legs tend to hide those.

I will soon have a trunk with LEDs running red, amber turn signals up high, and
a top mounted spoiler brake light LED bar.

If you don't see me on the road at night, you need to not be drivin'. :D

In other words... I kinda like the LEDs.

the time to install them yet but they draw about 3 volts as I did hook them up
to an old battery to check the amount of light they produced. Then left them on
to see how long they would stay on, with the old battery. After 3 days they had
drained the battery. I plan to install them sometime this summer if riding
doesn't get in the way..
