BikeVis Bullet LED's (modulated) - Tev62 - 12-29-2020
Fitted some BikeVis bullet LED's to the CB the last couple of days. I took the side panel aux connector and triggered a relay to power them. The current draw is so low I didn't need a relay but did want to just switch them on ignition and segregate them from Honda's electrics.
I also used their modulator which twinkles the lights for added effect. This is just a little video of how they look, I have a longer one going up in a few more days with the whole install.

Those are pretty cool. I used to have a pair on my Nighthawk 750. I stuck them on the edge of the front reflectors on the forks. They don't even register as far as power draw, if I recall I tapped into the headlight, and didn't run a switch for them.
I like the "triangle of light" pattern that sets you apart from half-a-car a car at night.

Looks good, neatly done job with brain =

Interesting video Tev.
Those mini LED torches are probably useful in other unique areas with the use of some "grey" 3M VHB adhesive. Hmmm.

Yes, lots of different colours too. The red would make some great extra rear visibility. Good value too I thought. The power lead comes out of the base so you do need to think a little on mounting points. They do have a sticky base on them which has proved reliable on my other bikes.

Oh yeah, forgot that the lead comes out of the base. As I remember now, I fabbed up some little metal tabs with a hole to run the wire, and 3M taped the tabs to the backs of the front reflectors.

Really not a bad thing. I am sure most capable Forum folks can work with the configuration.
