Good site, ordered spare bulb kit for Normandy 2009, but useful herer as well.

For £25, i would not expect, them, in any way or form, to be as bright, as the led lights that i posted on, you get what you pay for. This is also true for the amount of light that is spread over the road, with the lesser priced lights. If i was looking to be Discreet, out on the road, i would not have put any other lights to the front of the bike, Sure the roads are a safe place while ridding a bike. Just expect, every onr to see you, & give way to you.   Then the front of the bike would just have become, just another headlight, in a road of many. I still get the question, what do you need the, extra lights for. This always comes from the sunday rider, out for a few dry miles before tea. May be, when they are , threw up the road, with the front of a car, they might start, to under stand, at how bad, the roads have become, Day for Day. Sorry Mate, i didn,t see you. He Goes home, & to work, the next day. How Lucky might you be. ? You & your pride & joy, in pieces, across the Road. I though that, i was showing, how these lights might improve ones safety, out on the road, for any one that might , be interested. Not to be hammered on. & yes, i do know how to work, on the bike, & they don,t hit the front mudguard. This was all thought out before hand.  I wonder how many people wearing yellow, vests ect, over their jackets, think about being discreet. Maybe these people like myself, have wakened up, & thought, this is the road to hell, that i,m riding on, & how true this has been for so many. I will think long & hard, before posting, if this is the path, it might travell. |

Don't think anyone was having a pop Zoro, your post about fitting the lights was very informative, but at the end of the day, it's about choice.
Choice to fit extra lights, wear dayglo, have a flashing light on your head or not.
Don't be put off posting by some of the comments though.
stay safe, trev

Was I having a pop? Nope. I ride 17000 miles a year, day in day out. I wear a hi-viz jacket. My BMW is equiped with extra lights, these are Hella fog lamps, make the bike stick out like a sore thumb.
I was glad you posted the thread, as I'd been looking for some LEDs to fit.
I may mount these LEDs on a bracket, as pitching them further apart makes a distinctive light pattern. They are still bright enough to be seen. I'm not after putting light on the road, just want them to make my bike look obvious without spending £70.
I also have reflective tape on the front of the bike.
Suggest you get that chip off of your shoulder! ;D

Bloody hell, for £25 very bright, quite surprised. Christ knows what those £70 ones are like!

I'm always putting my feet in it so don't worry about having an opinion.
I have a pair of 2" circular lamps that have 24 LEDs each. On the 900 they fit neatly into the fairing "pouches" behind the indicator stalks.
I also have a pair of the Ring Cruise-lite Ice lamps, but I came across the 24 LED circular lamps before I'd got around to fitting them.
1 pair Halfords LED marker lamps going begging - unused. Any offers?

Yes, I bought a set of the smaller lights, now have to work out where/how to fit them.
