RE: LED's Can you "See Me Now?"
I think the flashing light is the key... the LED's are the brightest most constant light source that I hve seen, and I really like them.. I have a SG and I love the rear fender light! That looks sharp and will look even better when it is wired into the brakes!
Great job!
Great job!

There is a fine line between having the lights we want to make people see us, and having too many that in and of themselves become a hazard. We used to call the strobe bars on out cruisers drunk magnets, because so many of them ran into us on the side of the roads with so many lights flashing there was no way for them not to see us. When you cross a certain threshold, it goes from attention getting to distracting, and will cause people to drive right into you because they are focused on your lights instead of your vehicle.

Back by popular demand.
Please keep in mind the very first photo at the begining of this thread, is in the dark, with me almost accoss the street zoomed into the bike with the brakes clamped on, with bike parked in my garage with the garage lights out too.
Those picturesthat now follow the brakes are still clamped on and its daylight. You can see the rest from yourself.
For those who don't like the installation of the truck LED lights on my bag bumpers, please don't flame me, this is a test.
I'm wanting to get the most light outback as I can. And they are truck parts, not show quality trailor queen parts. This bike gets ridden, and I want VISIBILITY not awards.
My award is getting to my destination in one peice and still alive.
Thanks for viewing,
Gary
