I've added some new 'stuff' to the bike. 

Like the Wing it is based on, the brake pedal is vestigial at best.  I added this brake pedal cover to the Wing many years ago, and now to the Valkyrie.  I think it's Big Bike Parts, but do a search if you want one.  Not cheap, tho.  Like $48ish, but high quality and heavy metal.

Also, added a black rear marker plate with LED run/stop bar from Custom Dynamics.  Looks great and very bright.  Photos of the running light don't do it justice. 

And, added the Electrical Connection's cowl mounted yellow fogs.  Some won't like the color, but these are VERY BRIGHT!!  Kris told me they are "obnoxiously bright".  That's good IMO.  I want to be seen.  These are more for day time to draw attention to me.  I've used amber on many bikes, including the HD ... these are SUPER BRIGHT.

Let's see if I can get the photos to load.

Yes, they are.

I found them here:  http://www.electricalconnection.com/driving-lights/dl_gl1800-singleshooter.htm

If you have questions, call Lewis at EC and ask.

Lights are 10 watt LEDs.

That is my plate number.  Why do you ask?   Roll Eyes

Wow. Lights look like the Sun. Hope the LEDs I got from Honda (not yet installed) look as good. I do not even know if they are yellow or white, but I think they are white.

Yes, these EC leds are extremely bright !  Photos don't do them justice.  I'm sure the Honda leds will be fine.  I have their old non-led kit on my Wing with an amber lens covers and they are very nice and give the bike a different look to oncoming cagers.  Many of my riding buds like the look.

I don't ride at night, so finding my way in the darkness is not an issue for me.  But, white will be a better option in the dark than yellow/amber IMO.
