Title: LED lights
Post by: Kwikasfuki on October 14, 2013, 11:51:41 AM

LED lights from bikevis.com installed. This time drilled into the fairing.
Top two lights shimmer whilst bottom two are static. Hopefully will get noticed by dopy drivers.

It's a green one, never be quick enough to get in the way of anything.

Well I did think long and hard about drilling the fairings. In the end I decided that I could drill in locations where no one would notice.

Hi

It looks good, I hope you have better luck with these than I did  :cry:
Fitted 8 to the top of the wings on my trike
http://www.gtr1400.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,2764.45.html
they looked good and worked well but soon started failing.
Due to sealing the wires under the wings changing them was a bitch of a job, and when the 3rd one stopped working I gave up and took them all off. Seller refused to give me a full refund but did send me a pair of DRLs, no idea what I will use them for but it was better than getting nothing.
He said they are normally very good and suggested it was something to do with the GTR electrics not being led friendly....
Being as the GTR has factory fitted LED rear light this seams unlikely

Funny you should say that. I had the same problem with the hyperwhites I had installed. One I ran them and the bullets from the fuzeblock they ran fine

they would be easily fitted with or without the bracket. Cree LEDs are certainly some of the very best  :cheesy:
