Motorcycle Blue Lights

Here's my 2009 KLX 250 S with some warning lights. Bike isn't used for responses unless I'm already out and about on it and in the area when a call comes in.

Feniex Cobra T3 and Cannons

Rear integrated tail light for fun

After reading the install thread requirements, I'm not sure that this will comply. Please move/remove if it doesn't.

That's actually not a bad little setup. I personally wouldn't respond on it just due to the fact the drivers out there can't even see/hear us in a big red fire truck...so no doubt someone would end up hitting you or causing you to wreck on that. But, overall, a nice simple setup.

Nice. That T3 packs a lot of punch for as small as it is.  I had thought about doing B/A or W/A cannons in the turns on my Sportster (B/A to the rear...I already have a red T3 as a "CHMSL").  I may have to revisit the idea after seeing your bike.

Have you tried flashing all the blue together then the amber? I think it might add to the punch and improve your visibility from a distance.  Very neat setup.

Thank you! The big thing with "courtesy lights" is when used properly they shouldn't pose any additional risk for motorists. Given the 2 lane 35-45 mph roads in my districts, the extent of their use is requesting motorists I'm coming up on to pull to the right and stop. Surprisingly enough, even with the motorcycle, they do - at which time I'm able to safely proceed past.

I was debating which way to do it while installing. It'd be too much frustration for me to change it now, but I am curious if it'd be more effective.

With the new cannons, you can do solid running lights, blinkers, and warning lights. I should have thought of that before hand since I see a lot of bikes with steady amber blinkers when they're driving. My only concern would be heat.

Not bad! Personally, I would only flash blue to the front (use the amber only for front turn signals) & replace the T3 with one of the new 12 diode apollos to have a little more of a punch with linear/off-axis output

No offense but I was thinking "meh" when I first started reading, but it turned out great!
