Mike,
I'm the last guy to want to take away any business from Dennis.
He does a great service to this community. However...
Noticing the reasoning behind your quest for additional lighting,
I invite you to consider fork mounting the lighting that will turn with
the wheel and light where you're going rather than what is directly ahead.

Of course, with the minimal draw of LEDs you could certainly do both.
A pair on Dennis' light bar and a pair on the forks.

Dan

Thank you both very much for your supportive remarks; I am spurred on to pull myself together, go back and decipher the previous suggestions, and to consider seriously mounting extra lights on the forks - I didn't think of that!

As for my not buying a Dennis B light bar I shall search about for some suitable very low consumption LED running lights to enhance my 'be seen' presence on the road which will run off the DB front plug 'n play connector.



Another question (dare I?): I have studied the method of running power from battery to front without removing tupperware - rather than connect directly to the battery, is there an unused fuse in the fuse-box which I could connect to?



I do have a proper auto-electrical kit containing crimp spades, bullets, etc. and a proper crimpling-tool and various gauges of electrical cable.



Just had a thought; are there any DB fork-mounting brackets for lights on the horizon?

Mike,
You seem to be very concerned with electrical consumption.
In 8 years of being active on Silverwing forums, I have seen people install heated everything, every sort of communication device, and LOTS of lighting, and many other assorted things, and I have never seen anyone claim they overloaded the electrical output of the bike.

I have HID headlights, and a pair of 55 watt lights mounted on my forks.
This was before LEDs came out powerful enough to be worthwhile.

I know it isn't in your budget, but I could put four of these:
LZR LED - 8" Rnd Long Range - Black/SS - LED 35 Watt
http://www.kchilites.com/lights/lzr-led/lzr-8-rnd-35w-led
on the bike which are 385,000 candlepower EACH, and still not have a
shortage of power.

Hmmmm....Now that I think about it...If you could mount just one of these on top of your fender....

Thanks, Dan.



It's not so much the total consumption, rather whether I can find lights that I can connect using Dennis's front connector which, I think, plugs into a lower powered circuit on the bike.



Out of interest, what do you use for the fork mounts?

I've had a look on the Internet but haven't seen anything which obviously fits the Silverwing.

If you click thru these pictures you will find one of motolights mounted on the Silverwing:

Thanks, Dan.

I really like the look of them; I shall have to start saving my cents.

Managed to order the Model 30 LED spotlights this morning.

I won't go into details but Paypal manages to block my Visa credit card, even though it's one issued by HSBC, one of the biggest and most reputable international banks.
Ed did it for me in the end - his RBS card is acceptable even though they had to be bailed out by the British Government.

I accept that private individuals need extra protection but why companies use Paypal I shall never understand.

Are you and your credit card registered with PayPal ?? This can be a source of the trouble, it was with me. Then you will have Verified Visa to deal with, it goes on and on, I know how you feel but I did find Paypal useful for sending payment to Dennis for his excellent bracket and connector! (usual disclaimer, just a delighted customer )

I'm happy to send Dennis payments by Paypal, although again Ed has to do it.
The 'problem' is that Paypal seem incapable of acknowledging that it's perfectly legitimate for one to reside in one country and have bank accounts in another - my billing address country is different from the country of the dispatch address.

It's hopeless trying to communicate with them - I tried that but one receives replies which are generated either by computer or half-wits who are incapable of answering questions.

In fact, sending credit card payments by telephone is no problem as long as the company will accept them.
Unfortunately, neither the one I've been dealing with nor the hand-deflector one will.

I have installed the brightest led's I could find on the forks running direct to the battery and even though they are not that effective in lighting up the road, they do look great and make me more noticeable and there is no filament to break when you hit a pot hole.

This week I had made, a light bar as Denis sells and must say that I should have just bought his in stead of running around finding the steel bar and then paying a muffler $40.00 to do the work.

It looks fantastic and now with the $65.00 Round Projector Lens Fog Light set I bought from J.C Whitney (item No H5788183) I am really visible even in the fog.

Did I mention I also have the head light modulator pushing H7 Piaa 4100K intense white upper and lower head lights.

My Model 30 LED spotlights have arrived.
They feel good and look exactly like the pictures.

A PM will wing its way to Dennis soon although I know parts-production is currently suspended.
Light bar and connector are on the list.

I bought the Model 30 lights and just finished installing them. In looking at the links above, I noticed the light on sale for $50 is a flood light. The Model 30 like I have, is a spot light. It also consumes half the watts of the flood light. I was looking for a driving light to shine only in my lane and out past the low-beam light pattern. These do it. Chris
