Light Kit Recommendation. . .

[Kunkies]

I own a 2000 Honda Valkyrie Tourer GL1500CT

I'm looking for a light kit recommendation.  For those not as familiar with the nomenclature, this is a Tourer so I already have a windshield (upgraded from Clearview) and have installed Memphis Shades Lowers.

My 2000 Honda Shadow VT1100T (also a Tourer) has a light kit and it's time daddy gets one too.

[shortleg]

  What do you mean by light kit?

you could convert your blinkers to driving lights with this kit from Custom Dynamics page down to the video that shows the white/yellow ones. I'm thinking about using them my self.

[salty1]

Love my driving lights (55 W) mounted on the crash bar. If you want more info let me know.

[bentwrench]

Hey Salty,did those lamps come with the visor rings or did you put them on?

Nomenclature is a term that applies to either a list of names or terms, or to refer to something that is a term or to the system of principles, procedures and terms related to naming—which is the assigning of a word or phrase to a particular object, event, or property.[1] The principles of naming vary from the relatively informal conventions of everyday speech to the internationally-agreed principles, rules and recommendations that govern the formation and use of the specialist terms used in scientific and other disciplines.

                                   WHAT   ?                                          

          " driving lights (55 W) mounted on the crash bar "

The visor is part of the lamp housing. A couple of kuryakyn 1 1/8 inch magnum clamps and some wiring you've got very effective lights.

Geez, yes.  Sincerest apologies; I meant to say driving lights

I'd like to see more info on this setup!

[Kunkies]

   Yes, SinisterValyrie I would like more information.  Your driving lights look awesome and I have always considered mounting same on the engine guards to be unique, cool

Reply soonest,

Man, this IS a tough crowd.   This is what I meant by nomenclature. . .

Man, this IS a tough crowd.   This is what I meant by nomenclature. . .

It's not your fault others don't have as large a vocabulary as you do.  Feel free to use big words, and if we need to we can reach for a dictionary.  Failing that, most of us have kids we can ask to explain the big words. 

Most of us, however, should already know the difference between a GL1500C, GL1500CT, and GL1500CF.

[Jess from VA]

Since CF does not abbreviate for Interstate, it has been said that CT does not abbreviate for Tourer, and instead may stand for CamelToe, but I'm not sure that's right either. 

[Blackduck]

Let there be light, 100 W's that is

And don't forget the 2003 Valkyrie CB1500CD. Black and very fast.

I adore the witty sense-of-humor from folks on this site.  Thanks all.

Now, those are big lights.
Love it.

FireFox is wrong this time. I've used it many times and your link opens up fine, right to their homepage.

I've got these from Show Chrome and am very happy with looks and light output.

I didn't use the OEM turn signals. One of mine had a hairline crack so I used some Kury LED mini bullet turnsignals I got for half price.
