    Default Looks good...

    ...and I agree that more lights - front and back - make us more visible to the cagers. I'm going to add Lamonster's Longhorn turn signals to our 2010 RT - wanna see and be seen... Nice job on the install...

    What are the lights on top of your A Arms? No chance of the light hitting the body at full deflection (full shock compression)?

    We installed those lights on both our Spyders and can say that they've caused absolutely no trouble over the 2500 miles they've been in place.

    What lights? The A Arm leading edge LED's or the as yet unidentified mystery lights on top of the A Arm?
    I'm actually asking what make / model / size /type of light it is mounted above there. I DO see two different examples in mbenazerafMore light for "Blondie" post #1, and in the later post by Big Guy66.

    No one has said which lights they installed on top of the A Arm.
    I checked their sig block too just in case they listed them there.

    Plenty of space. No problem with compression. Just got to be very careful where to drill a small 1/4" hole for the bolt. Link below.A-arm light.jpg

    Default Legal?

    Are all of these add on lights legal to ride with on? I know in NY, if the vehicle didn't come from the factory with the lights on it, you could be ticketed.

    Those lights are huge, more than twice as big as the lights normally mounted on the A-arms. I hope you have them tied into the high beam switch or can otherwise control them independently of the ignition switch.

    Default "Blondie" is happy now...

    May be too bright? Both top & bottom light are wired through a switch and relay, straight from the battery, Light1.jpgLight2.jpgLight3.jpgLight4.jpgindependent from the bike lights. I can control the blue halo by its own switch.

    NY needs money desperately. They'll do anything to get it....
