GloRyder Wheel Lights?

[Buckeye Bleau]

Very nice, I am quite sure that there is like NO chance in this world that I could perform the modifications that you made! Wow!

It would be great if you could make a short video of the Byke in motion!

since we are talking about lights on wheels, just a COOL thing to see is Lunasee Active Side lighting. I have them on my Honda NT700. here is the "how to" write up I did.

I could put them on spyder also, but will skip that and do led sometime

I really like this idea, but for the spyder, I am not sure that it is a practical application on the front wheels. There is really no framework out there to put the LED light. Or am I picturing this wrong?

bugger

I have a set and love them. Mine are the single color, no remote version. I put batteries in in April, and they are still working great as of last night. And this is my daily driver.

I was at Heart of Washington last weekend, and after coming in from a ride at dusk, a couple people came up to me asking about them. They ar ea great conversation starter.

They fit right in the hubs of an RT, easy to install. However, one thing Ii didn't think about but Sue from squared Away says they are a bugger to get out, as the dis-similar metals really bond, and they need them out to do the alignment. So, they charge more if you want an alignment and have them on your bike. Other than that, i think they are a cool farkle, that does get attention.

try anti seize but only need a little can get messy

I am glad you got them installed. my set was a single color, no remote (not sure what difference it would make to the housing.) but had no issues installing them. I only have the front tire kit, and the original batteries are still running strong. I do think they are a unique farkle, and they do get noticed, even in the daytime.

yes you are correct, you would need a small lightweight alum bracket going from under the fender , stretching out around tire to hold light pod 1/2" from rim where the light tape would be. could be done, but i'm not doing this on spyder. will just be doing some other fancy LED sometime

From what I could see on the web, the housing has apparently not been changed but just improved. Changes are mainly with the PCB board.
I fully agree with you ... they are unique and get noticed. People were only looking at me when walking with my wife .... now they also do when I am riding the Spyder. :joke:

Beautiful

These lights a really beautiful. The problem is that even when not in use, they continue to drain the battery. I had the multi-colored lights with the remote, and they would go through batteries in a week. Finally realized that I don't ryde at night that often, and it was a bit of a waste.

I am thinking that this is for the ones with the remote. My batteries (no remote) have lasted since april, and were still working on the ride in this morning.

You are correct, I can only assume that the lights and the remote are communicating even when it in use.
