• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Looks good. I like the fact that they look like a factory option and not just a stuck on addition.
 
Was wondering?

Yo Tatt2r,
Glad you got your's installed. Was wondering, did you remove your front tires? Are you planning on using these at night and if so, did you take into consideration the angle of the lights with oncoming traffic?
I just bought my set and have not installed them yet. Thanks for your post. Jerry

I have the same questions...
 
Pucks...

Thanks for sharing. They look very nice :2thumbs: I ordered mine and have the same question about the mounting angle.

Regards,
Stanley
 
When u get them go on esi website shows a great closeup of where they should be and when u put them under bike u can see how they should be and no I didn't remove any panels or tires just instrument cluster
 
They look good, glad they worked out, just got mine and will install once I return from holidays.:2thumbs:

:thumbup::thumbup: Looks great Jamie!! Thanks for sharing!
 
I'm curious. Are these primarily to see or to be seen?

I asked in another post about the width of the beam and how much light they provide(lumens). I got no answer. Anyone know?
 
I would think anything named "Dayrunner" would be meant to be seen. I think MM explained these in his introductory post.
 
[,QUOTE=Gargoyle;243565]3 Their placement on the bike indicates a function as a fog light because driving lights are or should be mounted as high as possible. .[/QUOTE]

Than someone should tell MOTO-LIGHT who sells thousands and thousands of their drivivng lights each and every year, that because they sell them to be mounted low on the side of the front fork tubes on motorcycles that they can't be driving lights because of where they are mounted. :shocked:

Or that the driving lights Kewl Metal sells for the Spyder that are mounted at about the same height on the front A-Arms can't be driving lights ether.

Sometimes I really wonder where this stuff you guys come up with comes from? :gaah:
 
I have no issue with where they are mounted. In fact, I like it. But I would still like to know their pattern and power.
I already have the ESI HIDs. Do they add to that? Close in..far away???

Very reasonable question, imho.




Jamie, they look good - nice job on the installation - do you have any night photos of your machine with the new lights?

Street Magic has a history of making nothing but high end quality Spyder products that always work as good or better than advertised.

There is not a direct conversion that is MEANINGFUL between the kind of light an LED puts out next to an incadesant bulb, as they really are the old apple vs orange thing.

To explain all the reasons this is would be a long novel, and quite frankly be very boring to read as well. Nor is it something we could do here on this forum as time does not allow us to try to make everybody understand all the factors in LED light design and function.

Really, if I tell you that each puck contains 48, 30 degree VA LEDs rated at an average of 6800 MCD each, does that really mean anything to you? That is how the type of LED used in the Day Runner Pucks is rated, and to 99% of the people here means nothing at all.

Not every product is for everybody, and if you somehow think you need this information before you could buy this one, maybe it's not a product for you?

However, I have yet to have anybody not throughly inpressed and happy with the light output of any of our Day Runner series of lights.

Straight up, we are in business of making quality products and selling them, our rep for doing so speaks for itself.

Quite frankly we're not in the business to run an online course in LED light design, function and it's relatinship to incadesant lighting and how the factors that control that design realtionship come into play.

Thanks for the info Tatt2r.

Thanks for the info Tatt2r. Appreciate the input.
When I get these put on, I will try to post some night pics or a video with them on and off at night.

Here is the best I can put into words the pattern of light they make.

The pattern is a very wide flood type to best try to describe it I would say a "curb to curb" type of effect yet also quite good for seeing ahead down the road too.

It really is hard to put into words, and digital cameras are really worthless trying to show this pattern at night. Without you being there and being able to really see how it looks before these lights are turned on a picture of them really means almost nothing as we tried to photo it.

We have a shot of the Sun Spot series of lights on our web site and these are the same series of LEDS as the Day Runner Pucks use they just are larger.

The pictures there still don't do the product justice, but you can kind of get the idea of the kind of light these LEDs throw out.

Really, I have 4 of these pucks as the only headlights I have on my Suntrike, and they work so much better than did the 35 watt halogens that I can't tell you.

Just ask the people on here who have them how they like them.

I have yet to see anybody not be quick to say if they don't like something they bought, and so far we have not heard one person who is not happy with these lights.
