More lights.

[RDWII]

I did this with me VStrom... feel like there is a lot of dark areas in the back... So, between the fender ribs, ribs on the sides under the pass grips, and the four pairs of amber I added on the inner fender, its pretty easy to see this one from the back now.

I also took the red oval reflectors off the swingarm, and replaced with amber leds, that flash with the turn signals. A little extra eye action too...

Way to Go

I agree the rear of the GS/RS has little light
I did lights on the rear of mine as well
Light it Up... make it easy to see

More lights equals more visibility; equals more safety!! :clap: :2thumbs:

I'm thinking of trying some el-sheet behind the passive reflectors to make them actively lit but not quite as bright as LED's would be. Just a thought....

I got all from ebay. The strips are 36 led amber (these actually display as orange but I dont really care) waterproof, self adhesive. The others are amber marker lights from ebay. I just looked around for a us seller that had the lowest per unit cost, and a buy it now. didn t want to do that bid thing.

I solder and heat shrink all my connections.

I am sure many here do that as well, but for those who dont, here is the method I use for a splice...
