Suggestions for additional motorcycle lighting, LED or non-LED?

Will be riding cross country from east coast to Arizona and want to illuminate my bike more. It is a suzuki boulevard 650 (aka savage). Any info on legal issues also helpful. Thanks. I know it's going to be rough on the bike, that's the only bike I have. Thanks for the advice though. Any suggestions on brands or websites to find these products also appreciated. Thanks again for all the help.

  1. LED lights last alot longer
  2. Like JD said. They are also brighter. I have to say, you are going to be uncomfortable on a ride that long with a bike that small. I know from experience. I had a Suzuki Intruder 800 and thought it was nice around town, but took a 350 mile trip and it wore me out. I then bought a Yamaha Road Star and took a few trips on it. That was much better and more comfortable. I rode about a 300 + mile day on it a few times and it was much better for the distance. Good luck and God bless.
  3. Add LED lights to light up the back end. You don't really want to use non-LED on that particular bike since it does not have the voltage output to properly power extra lights without overworking your charging system. There's a lot of different aftermarket LED lights out there with Kuryakyn probably being the best known.
  4. I got led lights that twist in just like factory bulbs and am very happy with them. I bought clear lenses also. The nice thing about the bulbs is that they are clear so they are not visible though the lenses
  5. yeah go with the LED lights. they last longer and are a whole lot brighter
  6. If you want additional visibility while riding at night, all you need is a few clip on LED red bicycle lights. You can clip these on your saddlebags, jeans, and/ or bra. That way you need not mess with your bike's electrical system. They also make neat buttoncell battery powered tire valve caps. When the wheel rotates, it gives a ring of light. Most autoparts stores sell them.
