Hi guys,
After the recent conversations had at the RTE in Halls Gap recently surrounding lights on our bikes. This got me thinking... I know dangerous right... One or two of you were interested in what LED Strip lights and Spots I had added to my ST1100. I have a number of LED Lights on the bike now, in the hope that it will make it more visible...
3 x LED DRL Strip Light bars, 2 either side of the front wheel, and 1 on the front windscreen
2 x LED Strips under the bike - these were the first to be installed to add colour to the bike in the dark, but you cannot really see them any more
2 x Red LED Strips on the rear of the bike
2 x Super bright spot LEDs on the rear of the bike
2 x Big Spot Riding lights mounted on the underside of each mirror
WOW!!! when you right it out like that... it surprises even me, how much I have put on this bike so far.
Do you think that is too much... I have more I would like to add and some additional accessories, but have some concerns that I will be overloading the poor battery. These are the plans:
2 x LED Indicator DRL lights in Amber
Replacement of Heated Grips - my heated grips have been non-functional for some time and are desperate to be replaced
Addition of power to additional accessories, for example, a GPS unit or Tablet mounted on the top Dashboard shelf and a permanent power supply to my DashCam
What my concerns are, do you think I should seriously be considering adding an additional battery (maybe under the seat) to be used as the power source to my auxiliary accessories? to take the strain off the main battery?
The second concern, what are the thoughts of the police when it comes to lighting on a bike, when is it too many lights?
Let me have your thoughts, I would much appreciate them.
In case you were interested -
