Added another LED light

wheelie · 04-18-2010, 10:24 PM

I added this 12 white LED light on the top of the radiator cover. It might be too bright. I'll find out if I start getting too many headlight flashes. Notice the optional bugs on the Chuckster lowers. Gives the bike that been ridden look.

That's a lotta light

leadbelly · 04-19-2010, 07:36 AM

I wouldn't worry about it being too bright, your spots look brighter to me

rewindgy · 04-19-2010, 07:48 AM

Where dja get the lights from?

wheelie · 04-19-2010, 09:36 PM

The light is from Advance Auto Parts. It's a left over from a project on my pickup. They have them in white and blue

socwkbiker · 04-19-2010, 10:18 PM

That's a very good idea

Should have gone with the blue ones. Then people would get out of your way.

Scott, just get a headlight modulator. I've had several oncoming vehicles pull over to the right and a couple that I've come up behind pull off the road.

Then some of them flash their lights or blow their horns at me. Maybe they think something is broken!

+1 for the HM they are well worth the money IMO.

I've had morons pull over when they saw my driving lights. They don't flash, aren't red or blue. Fine with me...they were probably slowing me down anyway.

Not at all. I just remember you kept pulling over to the side when I was following you to and from Custer.

How did you mount the light on the radiator cover ?That looks like a good idea.
