• 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.

Day Runners!

Well, hurry up and get movin!!! Last thing I want is to get T-boned by sum cage driver like you see in Lamont's u-Tube vid because he didn't see them nice bright ESI ultra-bright LED side marker lights.:D

Can they be used as side marker lights? I always worry about someone not seeing me at night from the side. Got 8 lights (2 head, 2 fog, 2 tipZ, 2 sig) in the front and 6 (2 mud, 2 break, 2 sig) lights in the back but none facing the side except two little reflectors. A long fiber optic trim following the contour on the side like you seen on BMW head lights should would look cool.

I considered that. Both the break and the signal lights can also be partically seen from the side as well as the the mud flap LEDs and maybe even partical fog. But I really want some lighted side markers to be fully visible at night.
 
NM, the sesion is here, where are the new products..lol.

Anyway, so have a question. I have LEDs which point down "because they are blue" in the same type location these guys belong. I don't think there is a conflict and have not seen them in person..but, thoughts.
What if I put them in front of the trunk, either along the bottom black piece or towards the top of the black piece before you get to the trunk. Would they stick out to much and be too noticable. Might have to take a drive to CD to find out. To bad I am working, it is really nice out for a ride.
Sorry, used your pic..and no I am no artist.

The housing is aluminum and straight AND both of these surfaces you marked have curves, and then there is the wire that needs to hidden and run?

Would they stick out to much and be too noticable.

That's not something I can decide for you. If you like them there than that's all that really matters.

But IMHO, YES THEY WOULD STICK OUT TOO MUCH AND LOOK LIKE A$S. They'd be as bad as some of the other lights out there that want you to stick them all over your painted surfaces. Also, to even try to hide the wires in ether of these two locations you'd be drilling holes in your body to run them through, or having wires run out in the open. :yikes:

Just got them and now installed!

Just received my day runners yesterday from Custom Dynamics and had time after dinner last night to install them. They rock! Love the look and light they provide. Truly are concealed and you would never know they were there if they were not on. I ran the wires down the lower control arm to the center frame and then ran them up to the bottom of the lower control arm and then to the connectors. Have to place a few more zip ties to ensure wires are out of the way, but all in all easy to install. I also places 2x zip ties on each light bar to secure them to the lower control arm. I just wanted to do this for Murphy sake. Great product MM!

Thanks so much for the great review! :bowdown:

I am so glad you like them! :2thumbs:

I always try to design itmes that are user friendly to install, and do not look like an after thought once on the bike. :thumbup:

Wow these are bright!

If people don't notice these, they aren't looking! These were an easy install. I needed no tools and had to remove no panels. If you turn the wheels it is pretty simple to get right in there to install them. Since I have the fender tip lights they also work as turn signals. Very easy install, and great instructions. Products like this make working on the bike fun, because it is such a simple and quick install. They look great and are low profile, which is what I look for on my spyder, plus more lights will make the bike more noticeable. Another great product from MM!

Looking good! :2thumbs:

AmandaB,
I have to ask, are your wheels aligned? In the photo you posted, which appears to have been taken from exactly front-center of your Spyder, one wheel is pointed straight, but the other is turned.
 
Anyone have pictures with amber colored lights?

I am debating which color to purchase. With fog lights and headlights I think that I have enough white light in the front - I have amber tip lights and these lights in amber might look sweeeet in combo with the tips.

They are actually both turned, I was not in the center when I took that picture, I was closer to the tire on the right of the picture. I had to go out and check that myself after I posted and double check. From the angle I was at it looked like one was turned and the other wasn't, but from other angles they both were obviously turned. I know...looks weird, optical illusion. I debated about taking a different picture and posting, but I was too lazy!

ON the bright side the day runners were a hit at the bike show. That was one of the first things that people commented on when I pulled up.

Wide-angle lens.

see the light

We all worry about the cars around us ---are they paying attention? do they see me? Have I done everything possible to be visible. I put brighter LED lights on the back and the sides I always have my high beams on.
As soon as I saw what Day Runners were I ordered---put them on an hour after they arrivied.
So I am up to par on doing everything possible to be seen.
Thank You

If these help to keep even one person from getting hit then they were worth brining out. :2thumbs:

As a fellow rider, I too have almost been hit countless times by a driver who obviously was not looking for something as "small as a motorcycle" so "they didn't see me." :gaah:

The brightneess of the Day Runners as well as their Ice White color stand out so much from the background that drivers can't help but notice something is coming. Even a glance out of the corner of a person's eye picks up the piercing color and brightness, which then demands a closer re-look. :shocked:

I am very glad you like them! I hope they add to your enjoyment, safety, and piece of mind, while riding your spyder. :thumbup:

My boss has granted permission to spend the $ to improve the lighting on my 2008 SE5. She says its invisible from the front during the day.

Which would make the Syper more visible to other vehicles...HID headlights, DayRunners or something else? (I want to leave the fog light holes open for air flow)
