DRL handguards?
« on: January 06, 2020, 10:37:07 »
I saw a couple of bikes (not vstroms) over Christmas with LED DRL strips integrated into the handguards, and it struck me as a good idea for visibility.

Does anyone have any experience of these or recommendations? I see there's quite a few available online.

The link Martin posted is interesting. My bike came with the adhesive strip types which looked OK but soon the LED' stopped working one by one so I took them off and haven't bothered to replace them I suspect they were some cheap ones. I have some fog / spot lights so don't feel the need for anything else.
