    Default Local tric fenders

    Hey guys, ive been considering getting some tric fender Leds and I can't decide if I like them or not. I'm wondering if anyone local to Vegas that has them would be willing to let me see them in person at some point.
    Thanks!

    The wife has them but I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area. She really likes them. But I think you need all 3 for the best lights visibility options. (LED turn signals / LED Mud Flaps / Tric Fender LED's)

    Tric fender LEDs look awesome, they fit perfectly into the grove on the fenders and tie into the front fender running lights that you can turn into running and turn signals. But why stop there the mud flap reflectors are just screaming to be turned into LEDs running and turn lights. These are easy installs that can be done by anyone.

    If the reflector replacements were actually reflective like most normal automotive lights, I'd consider them. The bike is not on 100% of the time, and has to fend for itself when unattended. What I'd like are a strip of lights that fits in the channel between the fender and mudflap, wrapping all the way around with yellow on the outside, white on the inside.

    Plus, though the bikes with lots of lights looks cool, it's really not my style. I have more of an elegant and simple outlook, and generally prefer indirect lighting like my under light and gloryders. My concern is the channel lights are just too much for my taste.

    What do you mean wrapping all the way around? Are you talking under the fender as well as on top?

    The channel formed by the meeting of the fender and the mudflap encircles all three visible sides of the fender assembly. On the outside edge facing ther cars, I'd like amber, on the inside edge facing the bike, white, and the side facing the rear, red.

    Maybe something like this from CustomDynamics--

    Look at what they call TruWrapz. Might be able to make one do what you want.

    I AGREE with the 'understated indirect' look. I love the 'how did you do that look'. I tried hard to keep mine that way but I let it get out of hand . I worked hard to find a way to diffuse the tricfenderz with no luck. So I added a dimmer. Makes them more mysterious looking.

    Unfortunatly, those only seem to bend back and forth, not laterall, much like the tric products.

    We all love our TricFenders here in California. More than a dozen of the members of my club have them. As for the mudflap lights, no they are not reflective but you can buy these from CycleGear to replace the screws holding on your mudflaps.

    I wasn't sure I'd like mine at first. But the second best thing to my bike... is my TricLED lights. They really are awesome!

    Photos really don't do justice to the Tric LED stuff. I wasn't interested in them until I saw them in person and then I HAD to have them!
