LED Q's

Am I going to save/gain enough power to run a set of glove or heated grips and maybe a vest?

Ok maybe heat the hands turn off then heat the torso.

I like my 83 just the way it is other than it is woefully inadequate when it comes to elec. power.

Not interested in doing the po boy alternator but if I can gain enough w/led's to at least run my gloves that would be cool (i mean warm)

So any good sources out there? I am guessing there are led bulbs and such - just a plug and play type of deal or is it more complicated?

What is this going to cost me?

thanks for the help

I've no idea how to work the electrics for that. I chose to get water proof winter gloves and so far they've served me well.

i found some led threads / posts

shouda looked there first


thanks

The headlight is the biggest hog on power. LED headlight bulbs are coming down in price but wow, there's a lot of junk out there and online!
I bought one for $85 at a bikefest, very happy with it's brightness and beam spread, and power use is about 1/2.
I made a thread here somewhere, I'll post a link.

Actually, it uses less than 1/2 the power.
Here's my thread about it.

Thanks Dan

that was my next inquiry - i will ck your thread.

looking forward to having heated something - its gettin cold/er

I'd be very suspicious of the h4 bulbs that don't use a heat sink. Mine has a fan also.
I have a couple I got for a dollar each online. The crap China sells :smilie_happy:

did you link a Led h.L. bulb in your thread?

i like to get stuff that works right the first time even if its more $

I use the different brands of the chemical hot hands packages. They fit in your gloves and boots and stay hot for 8 to 10 hours. I've ridden 400 miles in 40 degree or less weather and felt fine.

yes those things work good emil

I searched Google some for the Pathfinder but this is closest I've found so far https://www.meancycles.com/store/parts/v ... tID=224101

Enough room behind - in the housing/fairing?
that thing looks big.
wonder where this is made? maybe i'll ask them.

I re-read my thread and yeah, the back will hit the fairing insides. Some modding required.
I have a thread here with what I did when I installed a HID bulb, same problem fitting.

thanks!

Pony I am using the LED replacement of the bulbs throughout my trailer. the work great. they work great as tail lights in the car also will also try as stop/tail light on 1100. they are at wally World in auto dept. 2 for $14.95.

Here are the ones that I am using which I believe are similar to Dan's one.

For that price it's worth getting especially if it will fit in the headlight bucket of the Honda fairing without modding the depth.
Can you get a measurement of the height extending from the ring to back? I'll measure mine and post it.

Don't know what happened with the first link but this one has the dimensions on the description page. I have been going to measure mine since your post Dan but I still haven't managed yet, so maybe this will help.

Mine is about 44 mm. The one at the link is about 30 mm, which should fit without modding the Honda shell for depth since mine almost makes it without modding.

Is that an AU specific ebay? No worky here?

shipping details say USA..so should work for us..
