Now that is one cool mod. I'll be needing those.....soon as my Spyder gets here. ;D

 

[Danimal]

Damn..... you beat me to it!

I picked up a couple of used Spyder lights on Ebay and am planning on mounting them like that!


Looks nice.

Are you going to sell this as a kit then?

 

[ataDude]

Good idea!

 

[duneside]

Very nice I want some for my :spyder: please let us know when the're available.

AtaDude, if you want to be seen from the front during the day buy a headlight modulator. A photocell disables the system at night so your lights don't flash. Several companies manufacture them.

"headlight modulator"


Illegal in many states..... check before doing this.

Danimal - headlight modulators that modulate at the correct rate (240+/- per minute, I believe) are legal in all 50 states. Been running them for years on other bikes. And, they can never be an on/off type... something to the tune of 20% to 100%. Most (that I know of) brand name, commercially available modulators are legal and meet the specs.

I don't think you will need the modulator with the lights mounted where they are the suspension will do it all with the lights bouncing up and down on rough surfaces

That's kind of what I'm thinking. No harm if they don't work as desired... 1/4" hole in the plastic cover which can be plugged.

In Michigan you can us modulated lights during the daytime only.

I've got the fogs also... so 4 lights coming at you. I leave them on all the time.

One thing I doubt the Spyder needs is anything to make it more noticable from the FRONT... ;D

You're right on the nighttime... they all have daylight sensors which turn them "off" at night.
