Western WA | Anybody put the optional fork light package on the bike?
If you do, your thoughts about them?
The Victory site lists them at $350 plus for the package, and that seems pretty steep.
Thanks in advance. |

Central Florida | They are available cheaper, some dealers are discounting 20% and more, you have to look.
I alos upgraded to the 85 w bulbs and they are blazing and blinding. I am definitely being seen much better than before. installation is cake. worst part of installation is feeding wires through rubber grommet. If you want PDF instructions PM me your email.
I also have PDF instructions of all mods I have done to my bike, including S1L1 pipes, gps mount, rear seat back support and luggage rack etc....trunk removal |

In my opinion, it is not so much as to what they look like, or do I like the looks of them or do they help at night in seeing down the road. These lights give the motorcycle another demension in lighting during daylight hours. I want people to see me during daylight or late afternoon hours and not turn in front of me. They are easy to install, and relatively inexpensive and available. |

Being visible is a big plus, and I'm always looking for ways to be seen. I had a headlight modulator on my last bike for the very same reason.
I'll definitely be putting a set on the bike down the road a bit. Nice pics VisionTex, great looking bike and I like what you did the the leds as well. |

Madison, AL | Have mine installed by dealer. They do get you noticed. I have had several comments about them with folks I ride with. They all say they can see me comming from a mile away, and that is a very good thing. |

Not me... I have HID headlight as well. Never can have too much light, too loud a horn, too much money or too many girlfriends... |
