Angel eyes.
Angel eyes.
Well not the real McCoy, but close enough.
They are very bright, but not eye blindingly so.
Wired up via the front auxiliary light with built in resistors. If I remember correctly they are 90mm diameter & sit just inside the headlight shroud & then clear siliconed into place. You have to take both headlight covers off for a secure fit. If they go south.? Then the silicone will easily peel off & no permanent damage caused to the covers, unlike hot glue.
Not to everyone's taste, but I've noticed that the cage drivers are very aware of my presence on the road.

Re: Angel eyes.
Cool I haven’t got a front dry or parking light so I might do this. Where did you get them from?
Re: Angel eyes.
Hi.
Purchased mine from AliExpress, but fleabay & Wish
sell them too. Now come in different colours. Amber would look even better imo.

Re: Angel eyes.
If they did a white with switchable amber that would be cool
Are they 90mm outside diameter? Also you driving lamp look quite nice where are they from? Thanks

Re: Angel eyes.
My mistake they are 80mm outer diameter.
Auxiliary lights from..

Bracket off fleabay, initially for a cruiser type bike.
Flip it 180° to fit, no huge mods needed other than
I had to bend the tangs & fit smaller clamps to those, otherwise the lights would be pointing downwards.
In hindsight I could have cut the tangs off and bought these smaller clamps.

Re: Angel eyes.
I’ve bought some amber and white angel eyes but haven’t got them fitted yet they are white when powered and when the indicator comes on the white goes off for 2 seconds so stays off until the indicator is finished. I will post a video when I get them on. Did you have to cut down the thickness to get them behind the housing?
Re: Angel eyes.
Hi...
I cut the plastic clips off the inner part of the ring, otherwise they won't sit flush.
Take the light housing off & just silicone the eyes onto the lip of the housing. You haven't a lot of wiggle room.
When they are dry, flip over the housing and fix a small bead of silicone inside to seal the edges & make water tight.

Re: Angel eyes.
Finally got mine fitted with the white and amber lights but unfortunately I cannot post pictures as I am unable to get the pictures small enough to attach lol

Hi...
A screen shot usually compresses the image enough to upload.
How is the centre stand prototype coming along?

Re: Angel eyes.
Yeah! They look good, but why only the one amber?
Scrap the "centre stand" I had the wrong thread. Doh!

Re: Angel eyes.
Because I couldn’t do a video that’s one indicator mid flash!
Re: Angel eyes.
Ahhh! The penny has dropped.
Very good & where did you purchase those?
I may change mine seeing as the original indicators seem a bit weak.
