Prairiehammer Posted October 8, 2018 #26 Posted October 8, 2018 I really like the setup on the Maroon bike, I'll PM you in a bit. Will, did you ever get those lights mounted on the brackets I sent to you?
uhfradarwill Posted October 9, 2018 Author #27 Posted October 9, 2018 Will, did you ever get those lights mounted on the brackets I sent to you? Not yet. We had a death in the family, cancer, and it has been crazy here for almost a week and a half!. Weather has been crud also. I'll get to them. Will

ChiefCass Posted December 25, 2018 #30 Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) I read your post about using battery operated bicycle lights. Here's MY solution for cornering, daytime visibility and night-time deer avoidance lights: LED Aux lights I bought from (wait for it) JC Whitney for my Jeep then wound up not using. $44 in 2013. My bike is same as yours, including color and these lights seem to disappear against the bike as background when they're turned off and throw a wide flat "cone" or "fan" pattern to the sides when on. They've stood up to vibration very well, use less than 3 amps (fuse size for both) and are a true pain to clean the bugs off of . They mount on the standard VentureLine Horn/Light mount that came with the bike so no fab was required. I -DID- wire them through a relay from the Aux fuse and a switch powered by the headlight to activate the relay (after being told "your lights are on" while walking away from the bike 1 too many times...). Once adjusted down and slightly right of line of travel (both), the light fan is fairly unbroken by the forks / fender and extends at LEAST 100 feet in front of the bike without blinding oncoming traffic. Blue-ish tint makes them super visible in daylight and matches exactly with my LED headlight replacement from SuperBrightLEDs.com. Edited December 25, 2018 by ChiefCass Add Mount
Sylvester Posted December 25, 2018 #31 Posted December 25, 2018 And if you REALLY want some LIGHT, I have these (100 watt each): https://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=114513https://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=114514 That's what I have on my 96 Ford F150 4x4.
