Strobe light mod

So I was doing some clean up on the VFR and observed that part of the wind screen has two each windows, with nothing behind them. I have had a headlight modulator on one of my other bikes and it works well for lane splitting etc. I did a search and could not find any related threads.

What if we were to install a strobe light (white) in each of the windscreen windows, with a remote switch. The best part of this idea is that it would not otherwise detract from the overall looks and profile of the bike. There may be some question as to the legality of this mod, but I would like to have the option of being "high profile" as needed.

Has anybody looked into this or something simular to it?

 

Are you talking strobes or modulated lights?

 

If you are talking strobes, they would be awful close to emergency lights which would highly illegal.

 

Possibly both, I would not want to break any laws. What I know is that modulated are legal, provided they are no more than twice per second and no "wig-wag" is allowed.

Please see pictures of the area I feel is best suited for the mod.

 

Double post oops.

 

Okay, forget about the modulating crap. Lets keep it simple. I would like to hardwire two sets of LED (white) lights in the two fairing windows. Seems pretty straight forward eh? This would be considered (scattered light) totally legal to have in front, as long as it is white. An example would be parking and/or running lights.

So since this passes legal muster, it would be nice to fill those windows with something approaching "stock" looking.

I will reply to this thread if I am able to get this idea off the "drawing board".

Thank you for any insightful or useful intel in this regard.

Merry Christmas.

 

Something like this maybe? It's simple and extremely effective IMO.

What year is your VFR?

 

Strobes are illegal most places. Wigwags are illegal most places. Modulators are illegal most places but motorcycle usually enjoy have an exemption. Auxiliary lights would have to conform with your local regulations. Your best bet would be to go into an inspection facility authorized by your state and explain to them or show them on your bike what you want to do. They will be able to tell you if it is legal in your state or not. They work with that stuff every day and will (should) know that stuff off the top of their heads and share it with you. Reading through statutes, regulations, acts and the like for vehicle related matters can be cumbersome to someone who is not familiar with doing so.

 

I have the 2010 VFR1200. No recalls on the propeller. Going to be my "go to" bike for sure.
