But if I do go for teeny tiny LEDs I think I'd also like an LED run/brake strip light under the rear fender. LEDs are super bright, but I do like to be seen and don't think you can put too many lumens into your bike lights.
I'd never seen these before but i saw them mentioned in one of the other guys threads...

Thanks for that Gordon. i have never seen those before either. The fronts look very similar to the Thunderbike ones.

And the 3 in 1 rears look awesome:

Love those and they have just made the top spot on my list. Could be exactly what I am looking for!

The LED chips used in the Heinz looked bigger than Thunder's, that may suggest a higher lumen output and maybe a better angle of view, but that would depend on the chips they are using?? don't know. The overall unit still looks really neat tho.

Thanks brother! The other bikes all belong to my roommates. I miss the 72 a little, but this Fat Bob does everything better, literally everything. I like that 09 you have. Very old school.

Okay now is where he tell us his roommates are bikini models.....


We can handle the truth. Send pictures of the girls on their bikes. okay?.






ADM. I like the mirrors on the bike. Your making it your own! I haven't seen many that have an adjustment down at the bottom. I searched high and low a few years back for ones with that option because the bars I had I couldn't get the mirror adjusted enough to see behind me. Those would have done the trick right there.

I may have to switch to the Avon Air Cushion in order to get the boss with it, but I really like the memory foam ones..... I would like to now replace my "Double thanks for the tip" with "Damn you for bring it up!"


I better leave now before I create three post in a row........
