LED lights

[frenchbiker]

I got mine from Hyperlite in the US, very bright, they draw only 0.2 amps and it is wired to a switch, i make them flash when I filter through traffic and believe me,  the cars move sideways !! Except when a woman is at the wheel !!

Yes, I had the Hyperlites as well. Mine kept on blowing, even with a 1A inline fuse. I took them off after one of them started smoking and replaced with these. So far so good.

Must add, the Hyperlites customer service was excellent.

Any chance of some close up pictures, I'm interested in installing them on my bike and would be interested in how you have mounted them.

Which set of LED lights? The bullets or the bigger Cree ones?

The bullets I mounted under the wing mirrors. The bullets have a sticky pad on the underside as well as the wiring. What they expect you to do is drill a hole, feed the wire through and then stick the bullet. I didn't fancy drilling, so I used some 3m tape to build up over the wire and stuck down with that.

The Cree LEDs I mounted to the R&G crash protectors. I've seen some people mount these at wing mirror level. I wouldn't do that as they are  bright.

I'll get some pics taken later.

Have looked at both sets of lights on the bike-vis site, still a bit undecided on which ones.
Like you, do not want to drill into the faring. I also have the RG crash bars fitted so these seem the ideal place for the Cree lights.

I'll take pics of mine so you can see what I've done. Unfortunately I couldn't route the cables though the same hole as the protectors so I just passed it through the fins.

As promised, some pics of the mounting.

Here's the daylight view

And now you can clearly see that your p&J could do with a shampoo!

it needs more than a shampoo. Tomorrow it gets the all year biker treatment

[Nok12rs]

I could do with some all year biker tlc;  I am laid up with a lurgi which started during the night.  Fever, sore throat, ear ache general all over aches.

And yet..... I have the strength to balance the lap top on my chest and read posts here

Of course, on reflection, I was fine until I signed up here!!! ........

hope you got the emegency services on stand-by in case its man flu!!!!!!

Ah! Mr Kwarr,  I fear that your prediction is oh so insightful;  we could be talking about manflue! 

My symptoms are now sufficiently severe as to irritate my "carer".  At least Lottie dog can be relied upon: she is curled up beside me.

And yes of course, it being Friday, I ought to reserve a place at A&E for later; best to do it before it kicks off....Friday night that is.

Thanks for your concern
