Looks good Rich. BTW, I'm going to disable your "Caps Lock" key. I'm sending you the rain that TC sent to me a little earlier.

I went on my first night ride with my Nomad Thursday night coming home from Barre, VT at the stock car races. I was very happy with the amount of lighting from the stock 50/65W H-4 bulb and the spotlights. I'm too cheap to buy a more expensive bulb right now, but when I ride out to Custer, SD next year I will upgrade to something better.

radco · 07-13-2008, 08:20 PM

BRUCE 10$ for 2 bulbs,, SO Im happy :)

davidjones1 · 07-13-2008, 08:55 PM

Looks good!

What/whose mount did you use? Please take a close-up picture of the mount. I've been thinking about the same type setup.

Ill get a close up tomorrow,, I used the P CLAMPS by KURYAKYN... SIZE 1.35 about 21$ each,, BUT before you buy ask Sam at SMITH BROs.. her link is in the Vendors section... .I had the spots left over,, ...

ddelledge · 07-13-2008, 10:45 PM

They look great. Nice triangular profile.

I agree that you have to do everything possible to be seen and noticed. The more conspicuous, the better.

Ride safe.

jussmatt · 07-13-2008, 11:00 PM

Nice set up Radco!!! I'm with you on the being seen part!! I've got the Kury bullet lights attached to the turn signal bar, but I've been toying with the idea of putting some on my crash bars also..... so I like that set up!!

aj · 07-14-2008, 04:50 AM

Rich, it looks great. Deer I can understand, it's like our kangaroos, but 1500lbs??? Hell, whales we don't have on our roads!
