Hello All,
Luckily I found this post that has everything you want to know about adding just about any kind of electric thingamagig that you could possible want. https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=75171
That post was great and I understand it but it was written in 2015....I can't help but think we've come a long way since.
I've been looking and finding products but I have no personal experience with it.
So, I'm asking for advice on more modern ways to add (a honestly bright) headlight, working brake lights, working turn signals/running lights.
Extra points if they look 'chopperish'.
My plan
Use as much off the shelf stuff as possible as my creation abilities are currently stunted.
72V so I will use a 72V-14.5V DC-DC converter.
I will use relays to power everything off the converter.
Does anyone have any advice on more modern off-the-shelf lighting bits to make this happen?
Reviews of different products would be awesome especially the headlight, at my age my night vision is not great so want a really bright light to light up the road far and wide.
I should say that there are an overwhelming amount of choices now available on Amazon.
I like this all in one solution for the back of the bike. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073TYTRPG/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?pd_rd_i=B073TYTRPG&pd_rd_w=EAvio&content-id=amzn1.sym.3481f441-61ac-4028-9c1a-7f9ce8ec50c5&pf_rd_p=3481f441-61ac-4028-9c1a-7f9ce8ec50c5&pf_rd_r=7P2BMV4TC7TJ7H6EDM2Z&pd_rd_wg=rNEtU&pd_rd_r=bf550d4a-8aba-4a05-ba12-e8741750ac06&s=automotive&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExSzhVSUZSUkJGQlRJJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjA0NTAyM0FQVlE0MjRHSE5CViZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzIxOTE1MlFOS1I1R0RXTloxSyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbF90aGVtYXRpYyZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1
Yes I like it cause it looks like jet engines and yes I am a dork.
I'm open to any suggestions,
Thanks,
