I want to make my bike more visible but don't want to spend an arm and a leg. I have upgraded my headlight bulb and turn signal bulbs. I like the light bars but don't want to pay $250 plus. I am wanting to know if there are any leds out there that can be mounted or any lights that can be mounted without big bucks. I am only slightly mechanically inclined and have already read how to make your own light bar but I don't want to get them deep.

If you have a windshield, some on VolusiaRiders.com :: Home have mounted lights to the brackets holding the shield.

I do not mean to sarcastic or critical here but how much is your arm and leg worth to you, $250.00 for a light bar and another $100.00 for a head light modulator ? you bet they are. Food for thought.

This link http://www.therusks.com/HowTos/World...0tLightbar.pdf is for building a lightbar for the VL800 you will not need to shorten the turnsignals like the instructions show becuase they are a different style on the '04 and up bikes.

What about those little blinky lights - I think they are called LED's. I've seen some around on a bike or two. The attach them here and there and they blink randomly. I think they catch the eye.
