[QUOTE="Checkswrecks, post: 746097, member: 3536"] I agree that it looks great and like the concept. But any cop who likes to write mechanical violations will recognize what you have and it'll be an easy citation to write. These are the folks who write people up for headlights being out of adjustment or inop, cracked windshields, etc. From that aspect, you have a violation of FMVSS 108 (or your State equivalent), which specifies both a minimum and MAXIMUM brake light candlepower value. Each of your TIR3 units should be slightly double that max, so you're probably at - ooohh - four time the legal limit. At this point and since mechanical violations don't carry points, I'd leave it if it were on my bike. While trying REAL hard not to sit at a stop light in front of any type of a police car. [/QUOTE]
