Auxiliary Lights
3 Attachment(s)
I added some Auxiliary Lights to my RX-3 over the weekend,
They are a set I saw on sale at Tractor Supply for $39.99 I like how they came out, they are a "Work Light" not a "Driving Light" so they have a wide spread of light, but do a Great job of lighting up off to the sides and around the bike...would be extra good addition to the LED headlight. I got to ride it to work this morning in the Starlit sky, and no one Flashed me for them being too bright. They are very well made, Cast Aluminum Housing, 5 LED lights in each one, and I mounted them to the mid Guard bolt, I have to grind a little on the bolt to let it fit in the bracket, but nothing much. I wired them to the Aux #1 loom, and I am very happy with them. Very easy to install..... I highly Recommend for someone looking for some inexpensive LED Aux Lights.. A few pics. (We all like pics, right? :) ) |
Those are very nice lights, and that is a beautiful installation. :tup: Thanks for sharing the information, and posting the excellent photos. :)

I'd have taken some pics of the spread of light on my way to work this morning, but it was 30 degrees, so I really didn't want to stop to take pics :)
I'll try to get some one morning, to add to the thread.... |
Here are the lights I choose
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x125W-3000L...BUYwi9&vxp=mtr The clamps are mounted with two bolts, holding the lamps straight ahead. This will not work, as the area close to the side panels is angled and not flat. I disassembled the lights and removed the REAR screw bolting them to the clamp. Then I adjusted the angle to where I wanted them pointing (using a 3cell Lipo for power) and then marked where the rear hold should be. Drilled a new rear hold and bolted them up. Solid as a rock Now these lights have three setting...high, low and strobe. I hooed the up to BOTH A1 and A2, figuring that when I switched on A1 high would come on. Then I thought going to A2 would temporarily switch power off before A2 came on going to low beam, but apparently goping from A1 to A2 does NOT stop power to the item. So now I just flick to A1 back and forth to cycle to whatever function I want. I may disable the three functions and make them JUST high beam (there's a video on You Tube showing how to disable with a small soldering) Either way they work fine |

If any of you guys have a Northern Tool Supply store in your towns make sure you check out their lights. My local store has a very nice selection of led lights and there all on a display so you can fire them up and check them out.

I would prefer to mount the lights inside the lower engine guard. Do you think these lights can be adapted to a circular bar mount, instead of the flat mount? |

I really wanted to make sure that mine wouldn't be taken out in a tip-over, so I wanted them inside and on top, where CSC mounts theirs.
Although the bigger triangle should help with being seen. |

Very nice installation. At that price, it's not the end of the world if you break one by dropping the bike. |

Again, I wanted them protected in a spill. Here is a bit better pic. You can see that the cage is no longer in line with the clamp. The clamp has two screws bolting it to the cage. Fixed in position. All I did was disassemble the light, removed the REAR of the two screws holding the cage on, tightening the remaining one pretty tight. Then reassemble light in cage, clamp assembly where you want it for up/down, and then turned the entire cage left/right to where you want it. The one screw will hold that position while you take the cage back apart. Then drill the new offset rear bolt hole in the cage. Reassemble and voila http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...pszzzhtcna.jpg |
