Title: lighting of the future
Post by: DRxBMW on January 15, 2012, 07:07:17 PM

I've decided the GS needs additional night time help for her posterior end.

Laugh all you want, I may go battery powered Vs hardwire. Cheap, stick and lick, NO fuss NO muss. Turn'em on when the sun goes down mentality.

Anyway, the new laser projection red rear lights are friggin awesomely kewl.

Ordered two units, stay tuned, this is going to be FUN. My only concern is, how the police will react to the laser safety lines.  I think with a steady red mode and just the lines you will probably be OK.

Still NO snow in the Mid Atlantic but damn COLD out and about even with electrics a blazin.

That is the slickest thing since sliced bread.  Not sure it will do any good with cagers, but it is cool.  Or as Johnny would say motobrick a lischous

That is way cool.  I have been working on my rear lighting deficiency (as seen below, stock, current running, current with flashing brakes) and THIS thing has some potential!

I didn't know these were available to buy, where are you getting them from?
I may not put them on the brick, but they might work well for the other bike.

ebay has a clone for $17.00 shipped Vs the offshul Slanico brand. The pulse is a little better on the Slanico being a 5 LED instead of 3. I have a bid in for a 10 lot currently. If I win, be happy to sell a few off for a reasonable price.

i am of the opinion that rear amber turn signal running lights really set you apart from the sea of red tail lights on the road...

i know they aint legal butts ive not been hassled by the man...

so i gotts stock tail + stock brake + amber running + led tail brake flashing signal dynamics bars + scotchlite black reflective... also gotts 2" reflective across the back + on the leg of my essential motobricking ensemble...

most importantly i gotts catz acid orange foggs up front and wear a white helmet... that acid orange does not get lost in the sea of headlights... amazing ch1t...
