But, I'm a safety and lighting geek- see my posts around p.294-5 for pics and a video of my lighting set up as seen at night. I once heard a little girl yell something to her mother about Christmas when their SUV passed me (seriously).
i actually have plans for at least 3 more rear lights/ 1 mounted to the rear of the rack and 2 clipped to the bags themselves im on the fence about the
fenders im sure i will change my mind the first time it rains.i also have a very bright reflective vest i plan on wearing and some reflective stickers i might be putting on the bike just not sure about them yet.

nice bike and video, i was actually watching your light video before i posted the pics of my bike.i have been lurking around the forum for awhile reading and learning so i could make an informed decision on what i want in my bike and so far im very happy so i have to say thanks to all you guys.
also do you have a link for those bar wraps.
