Mount a blow up doll to the front fender - no one will miss it..., she won't make you spend money on her

A pink flamingo ziptied to your forks would be noticeable, if it's big enough.

I saw a guy who put extra lights down on his forks near the axle. It gave him a wider stance visually but it was also odd enough that you noticed him coming at you.

It's an option.



Too bad you don't want to break the bank, there are $1400 headlights out there.

LOL if a car cant see an entire motorcycle they're not going to see a little reflector, especially on something that already has headlights and tailights shining IMO. Plus they're worthless in the day time when the majority of motorcycle riding is done, and your lights are still illuminated.

LED lights. the 5000k crisp white color doesnt get lost in the daylight like a yellowy halogen bulb.

Ive got a daymaker head light and the custom dynamics turnsignals that show white as a running light, but illuminate amber for turn signaling with clear lenses over them. great light output and much better than stock amber all the time. Plus I think it makes the bike look much more modern.

I was going for cross-thread points. The reflectors weren't a serious suggestion.

they should be because they work. People just like talking greasy and lots more folks dont like the "look".

do you see the rear reflector below? They help. All help is good help. Leds are great.. but, from the side, reflector are reflecting back the light hitting them. Cars with bright lights get back bright yellow/amber and red reflections.

Cars hurt.... no undoing a t-bone. All the s*** talking in the world won't get you a new leg or turn a direct hit into near miss. I love you all on a manly/brother way... dont want anyone gettinga raw deal.

Flashing RED lights seem to garner attention. Granted, sometimes it's unwanted attention, but attention just the same...
