I ordered the Running Light Pods on Thursday & they arrived this morning - I ripped the wrapping off & stopped....


My initial impression was "these aren't going to go where I want them!".


I've got an ST1100 and the mirrors are the obvious place to put them - I've seen pics of the Pans on here with them mounted, but would rather have a pod of lights rather than a single bullet.


I was worried because the Pans mirrors are at an angle (which I'd forgotten when I ordered the pods) and to mount the pods following that angle wouldn't direct much light forward, but to mount them facing forward would mean a lot of pod either hiding under the mirror, or sticking out in front of it.


However, I spent some time messing around with a lit up pod & some blutack and came up with a solution that I'm dead happy with. Even more happy when they're switched on - I can't believe how visible they are!!


As I commute over 50 miles each way every day, I was hoping for something that'd make me stand out - and boy do I stand out now!!


I'll take some pics tomorrow & post them so you can see - they're brilliant!! I'm looking forward to going to work on Monday just so everyone on the way can see them!!!


Cheers guys - very impressed...

Hi Chalky

Glad you liked them, my father runs some on his tourer and the larger multi LED pods suit the bike perfectly.

Looking forward to some photos
