Attachment 15565Attachment 15566Sorry. They're very small LED lights. I did have to install an led flasher, but that was just a matter of cutting the connector off of the stock flasher and soldering it on the new one. I also had to order mounts for the front signal. I think total cost was about $30 and a month for the stuff to get here from China.Quote:

Nice. I assume the leds are plenty bright. The DF paint quality does not bother me, my bikes stay dirty here in the mountains anyway.

I'm gonna try for this setup.
:icon10:I've not seen a set-up like that in person, but I've always wondered how the signal wires are run. Do the bars have to have exit holes drilled somewhere for the wires?Quote:

I see you have a Ural. I wanted one of those when they were first being imported from Russia and the Honda 750-4 was the hot ride. Thought a sidecar rig would be so cool. I saw my first rig recently. Harley with a car. It's so big and so heavy! Changed my mind about a rig.
rear hydraulic brake switch failed on me since last check (2 weeks or so) : \
ordered http://www.jpcycles.com/product/240-693#reviews will update fitment on delivery
I drill a 1/4" hole in the center of the handlebar on the bottom, put a grommet in the hole and run the wires through it.Quote:
