Bike Shades
With this new product you can
run your passing lamps without blinding on coming traffic
or others in their mirrors that ride ahead of you in your group.
Your foreground lighting area from the base of
your low beam to the center of your front axle is virtually doubled.
Our Bike Shades are designed exclusively for the 4 & 1/2" passing lamps that come equip on Harley Davidsons Only..
Our product is made of a mirror polished Stainless Steel. The inside of the
shades have reflective qualities as well. The emitted light from the lamps that
come in contact with the back side of the bike shades will help illuminate the ground
lighting in front of your ride. Since the upper half of the lamps are cropped
off and of course you do adjust the height of the lamps to a reasonable level
setting. You will not be blinding on coming traffic or others that ride in front
of you. When the Passing Lamps are off. The Stainless Steel covers add a Classic
look to your motorcycle. There's a few reasons to be aware of that can cause the
Passing Lamps to shine higher, even though they may be adjusted correctly. After
2000 miles of wear on a rear tire. The crown (center circumference) of your rear
tire starts to exhibit a flat wear pattern. This contributes to increasing the
elevation of the passing lamps. Or when a passenger climbs aboard or we load out
our scoots for a trip. All these factors together or alone. Will cause our
Passing Lamps to shine higher. Just keep in mind that having auxiliary lights on
with your high beams is a violation in most (if not all) venues. This is why,
for decades now, all vehicles (cars, trucks, etc) are wired from the factory so
that any/all auxiliary lights (fog lamps, driving lamps, etc) go out when you
enable your high beams. Wiring so that auxiliary lights stay lit with the high
beams on can get you a ticket on the highway and an inspection failure at the
garage. When we ride with our Passing Lamps and the Low Beam on at the same
time. When there's a need to turn on the high beam. The Passing Lamps turn off.
When an on coming vehicle flashes us to turn off our High Beam. When we do, most
will forget that the Passing Lamp switch is still in it's on position. For that
on-coming vehicle that flashed us about our High Beam. With our Passing Lamps
coming back on, even though we went down to low beam on the head light, will
look more to be a response of blinding them back with high beams! In return.
That vehicle coming at you will most likely respond with full High beams.
Leaving us blinded and possibly resulting in an accident. This can be a real
safety factor that can lead to a disastrous out come.
