This is rediculus...


I attached pics, hopefully they work


The tir3s are placed on the hood facing practically upwards, also there tir3s on the sides facing in a downward angle also.

Ive seen some 06+ Impalas that had a pair of them on the back truck lid just above the chrome bar and they were literally aiming like 30 degrees upward. Totally stupid. From a distance, it looked like twinkling Christmas lights.

Yeah, all the bikes around here are like that. Its a really good idea. Very effective

I think you are pulling my leg but anyways...it isnt really worth it...they would have to be at the perfect angle..

And the radio box on the tail is in direct conflict with Honda's mounting advisory.


Is that a California "Brentwood" (up on the Delta or Brentwood- nice part of LA County)?

Haha yes I sure am. Thats a terrible idea and a waste of 100 bucks. It deprives the bike of any decent primary warning.

Its brentwood TN i am pretty sure i have seen this bike. not sure why they are using red 400s in the back when blue is the primary color in TN but oh well

Yea but those ls12 i think, lightsticks in the rear are a great idea, VERY bright. The 400's are linear but are positions vertically, therfore killing the off axis that the lighthead would have when positioned horizontally. Overall, good lighthead choices and ideas, just bad placement imho.

Sky-facing mounting must be for aerial identification while in pursuit (for the helicopters to find 'em).

That reminds me, I did a lightbar modification where two FS Cudas were mounted inside of the lightbars were facing straight up! Those cars were used for FOD checks at Ontario International Airport, speeding down the runway at certain times of the day. I think those cars were the only known CV's in the area to test the needle placement against the limit peg on the speed odometer.


Back to those lights, Isn't there's a far-fetched possibility that these lights are wired to a pre-emption system? I'm saying this with a smidgen of a chance it is.
