Firstly I had purchased an additional set of hand-guards to fix the winter guards to (see my other post for this) so I decided to use this pair to also install the lighting in to, leaving a stock set of hand-guards should I ever need them.
First was to buy some white LED waterproof strips from eBay |
Mark the holes required on the hand-guard |
Fit the strip from the inside |
This allows the surface of the rubber housing to be pretty much flush with the plastic |
Secure in place with silicone |
The finished install. Looks good imo |
The effect is very 'Multistrada' esque |
I powered them by tapping in to the parking lights on the strom |
They are even effective during daylight hours |
At dusk |
At night |
I like the way they add width to the bike, and studies show that this is seen much clearer by other road users at night |
