My Aux lighting in front
My GF has a 900, she is concerned some cars don't realize how wide the front is and wanted some brighter lights near the wheels.
So, I made some brackets to mount some extra LED driving lights that turn with the steering.
Here are some prototype pictures:ryker light1.jpgryker light2.jpgryker light3.jpgryker light4.jpgryker light5.jpgryker light6.jpg

What light kit did you use? I like the idea of having additional lights farther apart. Might actually cause drivers to mistake Rykers for cars and I can't see that being a bad thing.

I used these combo lights from Amazon, they are 6000k in brightness and are supposed to have a dual beam.

This is the switch I used for them.

What are the the brackets mounted to? It's a little hard to see from the photos? I really like the idea that they track with the steering. It makes blind corners way less scary at night.

They attach with the same the bolts that hold the fender.

Did you custom made the bracket?

Indeed. I would buy a set.

Yes, I had them waterjetted and then bent and powdercoated.

Any chance you plan to make and sell more?

I hadn't planned on it, but I could if there were some demand.

I think you'll find a demand here! That's a nice looking bracket. I'd be in line for a pair. Just plain metal for me.
Calling an illegal immigrant an undocumented worker, is like calling the corner drug dealer an unlicensed Pharmacist.

I think it's a great idea. Looks good and I like that the light would follow the turn.

I will see what It would cost to produce a few pairs.

Hi Harry76, that is exactly what am looking for. I need more lite down the road the h4 LED's I installed aren't cutting it. Please put me on your list of want to buy the brackets. Or if you could send me the specs. I'll have them made up locally.
Thanks
Joe
