How about using some hi-output LED's? They come in different packages/sizes, and prices. 1,800 Lumen LED's can be had for around $100, or less, off e-Bay. I assume you want to light up the road, as opposed to just improving your conspicuity to other drivers. There are many different LED bicycle headlights to choose from on e-Bay, from 100 Lumens, to 1,800 or higher (your headlight is around 700 Lumens on lo-beam). Just an idea. Cheers!
Just keep your eyes open for a Markland (Voyager 1200) Light Bar. They pop up every now and again. That would solve all your "where to mount" problems. My buddy and I in Vegas come across them from time to time. I'll keep an eye open and keep you in mind. Plus, it the best thing you can do to beef up the crash bars. Makes them rock solid and hardens up your hiway boards, too. The only other after market (exact replacement) light bar was remanufactured by Harrison Specialties for a few year, a few years back. Pops up on Ebay also.Muleears wrote:No problem, knit-pick away! Those are good suggestions but I tried and tried to put them in different places. Couldn't put them below the bars, they would drag easily, can't put them on the front portion of the bars as they are too tall (fairing interference, they are about 2.5" deep and would have to point down significantly to clear.) I think this is the only place I can put them, and yes they are right where my highway floorboards used to be. I guess I have to make a choice....SgtSlag wrote:I am going to knit-pick just a bit... I'd suggest moving the lights as far forward as possible, on the engine guard bars, to give you more room for possible floor boards. It will also put more light on the road in front of you, as they won't be blocked by the bodywork of the bike.
Other than that, they look superb. Nice job! Cheers!Depending which way I go I may have some floorboards for sale! Or maybe some lights!
That's a brilliant(!) idea. As a matter of fact that is what they are. They are rated at 2300 lumen (9 hi output LED's each) so they throw some serious light. I'm wondering if it will pass inspection....SgtSlag wrote:Where there's a whip, there's a way...
