Ok I have had people ask about my saddle bags install. I have been a bit away from things for a bit. During the install I managed to throw my back out and my right Arm was in so much pain it took almost 3 weeks of Acupuncture and chiropractor appointments to get me some one mobile again. I still after almost a month do not have feeling in my index finger on my right hand. So enough of that.

Ok so on top of the saddle bag and trunk installs I decided that we should work on some safety lighting also.
I got 2 different lights.

The first Light I cant find a link to it was an oval dual intensity LED Tail/brake light. This is by far the best add on so far. This is one of the safest add on I have added to our scooters to date.


One for signals. I took theses .autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Alpena-24-in-red-FlexLED-light/_/N-25pw?itemIdentifier=60071_0_0_" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Alpena-24-in-red-FlexLED-light/_/N-25pw?itemIdentifier=60071_0_0_
Cut them in half they have cut areas you can then solder leads on and use the cut off parts. So I had enough for 2 scooters turn signals. These were added to the existing turnsignals and were huge improvement.

I have to take some more in depth pictures these are just taken with phone.

This is on the Jonway

Saaaaaaweet Todd! I remember when I first put mine on it seemed to give it a whole different look.

Gives them the goldwing look doesn't it! Nice job as always!

Nice neat install, Todd. It looks like you successfully designed the quick release mounts? How did you wire the saddlebags - as taillights or turn signals or even running lights? Nice job.

Actually. after looking at it that is why we decided on the LED strips. Since we need them to be removeable we decided to not even use them so the lights in the saddle bags are not even connected. I will try and get some better detailed pictures of my Linhai install this week. The jonway is with my dad so i will not get better picture of that until it is back this way.
