Default Offroad lighting setup question

Anyone running small led light bar on there bikes to get better lighting was doing a little searching and found a pic of a bike with one and like the idea for riding at night in the woods just for better visibility. Thanks for any input

As a test for another site I installed a led light on a 2 stroke (no battery & no rectifier) it worked but I'd definitely go with a 10 or 12 led light minimum like in the second post.

Thanks that what I was looking for just see if would work he's got some 8 inch bars that said I could use just didn't want to waste the time if it wouldn't work figured ask first. How was the visibility with the single cube would you run a pair or go with the 8 inch?

Are you using on the street? I'd be worried about it not being designed for primary light against traffic.


BTW, racegass, is that a quadzilla? Its looks amazing.

You can't ride an ATV legally on public streets in the US. I have seen many in south american countries, but anything with wheels can be ridden on the street there, with or without a donkey, lol

Mine would be used for the woods only really for the led bar I'd keep my stock light just make a mount for it to fit. Thanks for the reply guys didn't want to just waste the money if wasn't going to work.
