Rear lights as tail , they brighten up a lot  when brakes are applied


Obviously , these are front lights  that work as turn signals  , too  .  When looking straight  at them  , they are really bright  , just a little to one side , they are not nearly as intense


And another photo with light  unlit


Here's the cover that makes them red , also , I purchased  some red plastic  material  from auto parts store , peel off the backing and it sticks to anything , designed to repair broken  lenses

I should mention , front and rear lights  are controlled by separate Skene controllers that make the lights work as TS and brake light .        The controllers  make the lights work at about  50% brightness  and when you use TS or brakes , they come on all the way  , really gets peoples attention .

Wow, I guess you really want people to see you coming and going!

Well  , yeah ,  it's dangerous enough riding a motorcycle  ,  I'm gonna  make her as visible as possible  .That's why I painted her white , besides  , ain't  that usually the reason  we have accidents , they did not see us .
Being  61 , I can not afford the price of being in an accident  , besides , I witnessed an accident  in Sept  and I did not ride for 3 days because of it .

Guess I should add ,  the red  material I purchased from an auto parts store was used on the inside of the red plastic  lens  to make it more dark red , without it , the lights are too bright , did the same with the amber lens on the front  .
Also , I cut up a plastic  milk jug  the same size as the  front light &  fits nicely  with the help of a little tape , the purpose is to cut down on the intense  light from the light bar  , removed them recently and so far , so good , no one getting mad at the intensity  of the lights , I can always put them back later if needed

Kidd,
Your bike still looks better.  That one looks unfinished.  He should have painted the side covers.

I didn't see any new Valk in the other video.  Just the same Valk that we have and the Rune.



If global warming is happening...why is it so cold up here?

I think these will fit the pods and although they are 28 volts you could step the voltage up with a transformer and at 3900000 lumens you would be easily seen

;D ;)

Well , Bobby , I am not really wanting to come off  obnoxious  and piss folks off  , just get their attention .
Your idea would really be over the top ,  and I know  you're being  not very  serious
