    Default Need advice for installing a Halo Kit LED strip on 2014 RT-S

    I am trying to install a TricLED halo kit on my 2014 Spyder RT-S and I am perplexed on how to run the center led strip down the underside of the bike. It is supposed to centered and run 36 inches down the bike. How can I put this LED strip on the underside of the bike and still be able to jack the bike up later for other maintenance? I fear that the LED strip may not be able to take that kind of pressure if the jack cuts across it. I am looking at the underside and I just can't figure out how I can put that long LED strip underneath without it interfering later. If anyone has any tips or advice on what to do, I'm all ears! Thank you!

    I ran my own strip and ended it far enough from the center jack up point right in front of the cat.
    No issue and I use a ATV lift at that jack point. I can't speak for trickled and how far back that goes but I have a feeling you will be OK.

    Default LEDs on underside of saddlebags?

    Thanks for the response, Bob!! Did you put LED strips on the undersides of your saddlebags? I'm also a little concerned about mounting the LED strip on the saddlebag side where the muffler runs. Do you think there are any issues with installing the LED strip on that underside of the of the saddlebag?

    Thanks!

    I installed the strips not on the very bottom of the saddle bags but up inside behind the bags way up in the body. I liked this better as it lights up the entire cavity around the rear wheel and lights up the resr rim. If you look up in there, plenty of space to run strips and they point straight down. Also high enough to not worry about heat from the muffler.
