RE: Observation on Triangle of Light visibility - Gone in 60 - 11-06-2019 Thanks, Chuckk. Loose, exposed wiring bugs me, so I didn't want to have anything running where it didn't absolutely need to go. Hence the switch located out of the way. To be honest, if you don't have a switch on your setup, and don't see yourself ever needing to turn them off, I wouldn't bother. I've got your lights on my Bonneville, with a switch tucked behind the headlight mounting ear out of the way. I can reach it, but since the lights are single-beam (don't have a dimming option), I've never touched the switch. Here's the setup on the Bonnie. I guess the LEDs are a bit closer to the headlight than I originally described. RE: Observation on Triangle of Light visibility - GoldOxide_imp - 11-06-2019 Tidy Gin60!

If they get noticed more, great. Plus, they are close to the bike, and where I need to park it in my tight garage, if they stuck out past the overall frame of the bike, there would be a good chance that I'd bump into them as I shinny between the bike and the back bumper of my car. RE: Observation on Triangle of Light visibility - emptysea - 11-06-2019 I suspect that aux lights on the Bonnie get lost in the spread from the headlight. The presentation I went to on this topic mentioned maximizing the spacing between the points. RE: Observation on Triangle of Light visibility - Gone in 60 - 11-08-2019 That's pretty much the conclusion I came to, Empty. Thinking about moving them down on the Bonnie. There are a few good natural mounting points that would work. RE: Observation on Triangle of Light visibility - Chuckk_imp - 11-09-2019 here are my foggies in action.. comparing them to my buddy's new BMW 1600's lighting... . RE: Observation on Triangle of Light visibility - the Ferret - 11-09-2019 Yea those are pretty visible RE: Observation on Triangle of Light visibility - GoldOxide_imp - 11-09-2019 Bright indeed. The first bike appears to behave younger too.
RE: Observation on Triangle of Light visibility - Chuckk_imp - 11-09-2019 thanks for the kind words G.O. .. I won't tell my buddy bill, on his BMW.. I am assuming, you are talking about riders ages on your comment.. I am 76 and bill is 70.. he is a pretty good rider though.. chuckk .. |
