Extra lights on the crashbars?
Written by douglasvanb on 4/8/2011 at 03:45 pm

Do you have pictures of your setup, Mike? And what sort of circuitry are you
using to drive your LED arrays? Did you convert over all of the other
non-headlight lights on the bike to LED?

Cheers,

Douglas

up the front spats and the sides of the PC, plus make the bike look bigger from
the front.

had 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..
