I'm looking for some more visibility from the front by adding a lightbar or billet lights.  I've seen a pic of some billet lights mounted on the engine guard.  Really liked the look of that, would look like a train coming at you at night!  Anyone have suggestions or know what I'm looking for?

Also looking for some more visibility on the rear if anyone has suggestions on that.

I've got Kuryakyn Large Silver Bullets mounted on the engine guards with a 50W halogen in each.  



For the rear, I installed dual-filament (1157 type) sockets and used a trailer wiring converter and switched to red lenses so that my turn signals are now run/brake/turn lamps.   Fairly easy and could be a project at an upcoming wrench party.

Yea, thats what Im looking for.  Maybe even for the back.  The front might be a lil expensive, but the rear sounds a bit cheaper maybe.  We definitly gotta hook up at some point.  Going riding with the Freedom Riders tomorrow at 10 at DFW Honda if your looking for a ride.  Can also email me, I think its in my profile.

Do you remember what size of clamp you used on the Bullets?

Ken, what did you do for the rear signal lights?  Also how have any of you hidden or wrapped the plain black wiring that would show?  I'm also curious how they are wired in to start with.  Using a acc switch?

I never thought of installing them that low, might look into it though.  Smiley
