That's the reason for this replacement. Slightly smaller, yes, but shines way better! Another important thing is that LEDs are very reliable. With quality LEDs you can count with them lasting longer than your bike, or until they're broken, while the regular bulbs can burn out easily.MotoCrazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310425308429861914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-61906102186356106112011-03-04T09:55:56.422-06:002011-03-04T09:55:56.422-06:00MotoCraze: Thanks!

You may also consider this one with LED brake lights and the hyper-lites: http://www.everydayriding.org/2010/01/sv650-brake-light-led-upgrade-and-hyper.html<br /><br />When I get off my lazy butt, I'll finish the HID upgrade on two of my bikes. The R1150GS is also getting two extra driving lights to complete the "light triangle" for better visibility. <br /><br />My GS also has reflective tape on the side panels. You can see it in this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wraithpreza/5449266841/<br /><br />I also got a big sticker for the back of my helmet. the Minnesota motorcycle safety center will send them to MN residents for free. <br /><br /><br /><b>Dear Jack:</b> yea, so small no one can see them but they are still legal. I think it goes with removing the rear fender, so they are covered in mud too.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-82188080362363484892011-03-03T16:27:41.417-06:002011-03-03T16:27:41.417-06:00Dear Chris:

I like lots of bright lights, and if they flash like a disco in the 80's — so much the better. I read your tool list with admiration, and went to see that I had all of them. I can't use them, but I do like looking at them. Nice blog today. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-10828077256881734832011-03-03T13:41:51.687-06:002011-03-03T13:41:51.687-06:00Hey Chris, nice work.

I mentioned them few weeks ago, and I was hoping to write another article about safety/visibility.<br />Is it OK to mention this post of yours and provide a link ?<br />I would also suggest LED stop light and some quality HID headlight. Actually I'd be honored if you'd take a look at that post at my blog, I tried to enumerate all I could remember for improving visibility. Hopefully to give you some more ideas, and if you have some ideas I might missed, please tell me. Best regards!MotoCrazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310425308429861914noreply@blogger.com
