Just recieved my BikeVis lights, they came well packed with a fitting guide as they are not bike specific. I plan to document how they are fitted to my bike, which may help. The good news is Dan has offered to 'help me' so my bike will still work afterwards.  Not called ElecTrickery for nothing. The fitting process should be fun anyway as the instruction guide includes handy tips like "It is suggested you read the whole guide first, preferably while sipping a cold beer" My kind of project Attachments:

As I said before they are one of the top things I have fitted to my bike they really did impress me I'm guessing your call me when you want to get them fitted. |

Progress update. Considering locations for the two lights I have. Iwould welcome your input. Options I have so far are locations A, B, C or D below. A could be fixed to plates at the base of the morrors. B fixed the the indicator arms, (concerned white and yellow light may clash and detract from the indicators?) C or D could be fixed to plates attached to the horn fixing. Thanks in advance for your thouhts. Roger (please click on the image to enlarge) Attachments:

i would go for A, based on the possibility of B,C or D drowning out the indicators.
just my opinion of course

Thanks groovy.
While I agree with groovy's logic and other thoughts would be good, have I missed a spot; these were just a few thoughts.

I would go for B or C as to make a tri point of light as this seems to work, well at least on mine it dose and a tri point of light is easyer to see, dose not seem to distract from the indicators. A also works all being an upside down tri of light, might even work better But ether way more light hopefully makes you seen more |

This may sound a bit strange, but how about fitting something like this to the forks and attaching the lights to them?  Or this....  Just type "41mm fork clamp" in ebay and see other ideas.... Just a thought  |

THanks lads.
A is looking like the winner so far.
Expanding on the clamp (smaller dia.) idea, I could even take the lights up the mirror stays for a wider V.

A does look like a good placement.
