Well, they won't be as bright as their pictures make them appear....

You could mount them anywhere on the fairing sides, but as they have a flat base they would go well on the flat tops of the little winglets on the fairing sides.

Blue ones would get you noticed.......

By the plod :lol:

You're right there Tony, I sent away for some superbright LED sidelight bulbs last year, and fully expected them to be White when they came but the Bastids were Blue......So i decided to try one anyway and got out for my last two runs with it fitted, and boy do you get the dopey car drivers attention, you can even see it when you approach from behind, the furtive glancing in the rear view mirror way before they would normally react to the headlight! the little bit of Blue makes all the difference.........But Blue might attract the "Boy's in Blue" :cry:

I think that "make me an offer" tells you they're struggling to sell any.

I'm on my second set of bikevis lights, the first set didn't survive the harsh winter last year, but they sent me a replacement pair free.
I like them a lot. I wired them to the third eye, and fitted them on the flat of the side fairings, as Tony suggests. They don't give off a lot of light, but definately make you more visible.
Between them and the multi led panel fitted to the third eye, I don't really need the headlight any more.

Where did you get one of these and how easy are they to fit?
