Default Light up your ****...

I recently replaced my saddlebag reflectors with more chrome...shocker, I know.

Rather than throw the reflectors out, I decided to re-use them on the tour pak. A recent accident involving a friend who was rear ended got me thinking the more light on my ****, the better!

Good idea. I have to admit though, I kind of thought this was going to be a thread about pants with LED's in them or something. ha ha : )

Went out last night for a ride...my buddy couldn't get over the reflectors working as actual lights. He said when the light hits them, it looks like they are functioning lights.

Well you could put the "RAM Mount" pistol holster up by your throttle - that will definitely get you noticed. Hmmm.....I bet it would also work as a safety device against cagers for multiple purposes.

Good idea - very original!

One of the many reasons I put a tourpak on my King. I put a tail light conversion kit on the bike and installed the HD LED tourpak light kit also. It brings the not so bright tail light (now lights) up and in your face, with brighter LED's! It still doesn't leave me worry free when stopped at intersections or when in bad weather, but it's an extra measure of safety!

I think it is a good idea to improve your visibility.

However, I believe in MN you cannot have yellow in the back. They would have to be red. Not trying to be a stinker, but you may want to check.

Everything on my **** end is red...the reflectors I used came from the saddle bag latches...the pictures make them appear yellow.

That should help, but I have been rear ended in the daylight 4 times.
2 on the bike, 1 in a car and 1 in a truck.
