ChrisSkor Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Why pay $300 for LED running lights. Check this out, I made these running lights for $10. They light up the area in front of my bike, and shine on the side of the bike to increase my visibility in intersections. Link to comment

SuperG Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Chris, I am not sure if you are joking or seriously considered mounting a flashlight on a motorcycle. a few problems: these minis has low light output need to feed it with alkaline or rechargeable batteries unreliable- I have several "free HarborFT" lights, only half of those works, the other half only works after a few good taps; and I have not tried to get them wet yet. There lots of creative ideas, but I would put consider this one a no-no. Link to comment
notacop Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sustengo, there always a nay sayer in the garden of brilliance! Everthing from Harbor Freight is of the highest quality. Just ask them, they'll tell you! Link to comment

BFish Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 at night they will be handy for fixing flat, finding your keys if dropped, and getting a couple dozen nightcrawlers if going fishing. also, may need some plexi-glass or the like over the lense to prevent breakage. Link to comment

tallman Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I've got over $800 invested in dual running light/fog lights, euroswitch activators, LED brake lights, retroreflective SOLAS tape inside my GIVI plastic reflector' areas, retroreflecive tape on rear and side or saddlebags. I feel like I have more than 80 times the ROI compared to your set up. YMMV Link to comment

Gregori Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hey, instead of a top-case to carry extra stuff around, you could bungie-cord a milk crate right on the bike! Ugh... Link to comment
RTinNC Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 WOW ... and they look like they came right out of the factory ... can not even tell they are aftermarket! Link to comment
Fightingpiper Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 What did you use for a mounting bracket? I just used the screw that holds that part of the fender. The lights came with everything else.. Link to comment
