Can you have to many lights?
I know the easy answer for most, will be NO!
I have a 2014 RTS and as of now,besides the stock lights, I also have the 'High Mount Third Brake Light' and also the 'LED Front Fender Lights.' Love them both!
I've been thinking about adding 'Saddlebag Side Lights,' and possibly lights for the mirrors that I believe a vendor on here sells to help keep you from driving with your turn signals on for 15 miles not that I've ever done that.
Any issues with the electrical system handling the extra load? I'm good with a hammer and a Skilsaw but electrical is not my forte. So Looking at the combined expertise here for input.
Thanks in advance!

Yeah....
eventually.... but with the LED that would be more light than you could fit on your spyder...

As long as you use LED's , you could cover every square inch and not overload the 1330 engine / alternator system .... maybe not even the V-twin - Magneto if you switched to LED headlights first ....... Mike

So many of the lighting products I see are plug n play. Biggest hurdle is the Tupperware in most cases.
I'm guessing you can do this. Especially with all the informative videos outthere, and better instructions
from MFG> than ever before.

i added ground effects lighting in 2010 (at the Carlisle pa bike show) and approx 12 strips each containing up to 12 lights and each containing 8 colors leds. the effect was really unbelievable...since it is a problem putting a switch on the body that is access friendly i went with wireless remote...it is about the size of a match pack and was the way to go...i have left them on for up to 8 hours without the bike running and had no problems with drainage...i was told i could leave them on for up to 4 days before it became an issue...i dont want to test is statement...even with the strobes running it was not a problem...dont be afraid to add as many lights as you can...mounting them on the tupperware is the only thing that you want to avoid...good luck and happy lighting!!!!

I did not know that....I'll pay more attention. Thanks for the info though I'm still interested in those mirror lights.
Ride safe!

Agree X100 but when you run out of room for standard LED accessories you can just use electric paint.

Too many lights?
Nope, not yet!
This is my 2016 RT Limited. The LED headlights and fog lights are from Lamonster, and the rest of the lighting is from TricLED.
The reflective decals are from Wrapmyspyder.com.
