lighting up the back end

bo1966 · 03-17-2016, 01:29 AM

I need some ideas to light up the back up the bike ,

LED's are the way to go. They are inexpensive and last forever. I use the strips and have them mounted on the saddlebags brackets.

Turn your signals into running and brake lights :

I have LED Tombstone shaped lights on the saddlebags and an LED strip on the back top of the passenger backrest.
They are wired run/brake lights.
You can see one of them here but this was before I put the LED strip on the back of the passenger seat.

Lots on the back of mine, stop red, turn amber. also have the lights that modulate when the brake is activated and stays on.

Smokey that's a very nice lighting arrangement on the back of your scoot.

That looks great but I don't have that many options on the VAQ. I saw some strips once that looked like they were between the bag's and the fender and can't find that pic again

You may want to look at the one of these setups. You have the freedom to put them on your bags or wherever.

They are bright and the flashing grabs the attention of those behind you. The closer to eye level that they are mounted the more likely they'll get noticed.

Ride safe!

Made my own hyperlite type setup with led truck marker lights...

Hey Bo I have a vaquero also and I am gonna go with custom dynamics led plasma rods between my saddlebags, I have been researching they are expensive but I think worth it

Ronald · 03-19-2016, 08:22 PM

You can actually make ur own "plasma rod", I'm trying to come up with a bracket or plate to make a gap eliminator to flush mount my lights. Definitely ain't payin premium for what I can do myself

Thanks, I figure if they can't see me now, then blind people shouldn't be driving.
