I'm torn between move visibility and looking like an electronic billboard.

I love mine.
It ain't rocket surgery to install - I installed mine at a Tech Day in Owosso several years back. I did not use the harness adapter for this set, but I do have the Admore harness adapter being used for the lights on my side cases.
And, yah, Admore's customer service is fantastic. I had an issue with my side case lights and they took care of me.
I have the universal kit:

If I distract the cages behind me, well, that's the point.

Re: admorelighting lightbar and givi-box lights
Thanks. That's my concern exactly. Drivers here (Los Angeles) are already so distracted that it's easy to imagine some twit or twitette staring stupidly at all the sparkly lights and becoming hypnotized, causing the opposite results that I intended by adding extra lights in the first place.wheatonFJR wrote:Unless you provide them a good aiming point...target fixation and all.Burnspot wrote:I can't see mine when I'm riding...palerider wrote: I'm torn between move visibility and looking like an electronic billboard.

P.S. I rode motos and drove rigs professionally in LA for many years; they're nuts out there, but there's no shortage of them here on the right coast.

Re: admorelighting lightbar and givi-box lights
Yeah, they're everywhere. Ever driven in Miami? We were there last year. People were stopping on the freeways to look at their GPSs. Not on the shoulders. In their lanes.Burnspot wrote:I suppose it's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" thing.palerider wrote:Thanks. That's my concern exactly.
