Red: LED Tease

Nothing's ever easy...

First up, the new Dime City mirrors were great because of the almost limitless adjustability, but the included 10mm allen bolt was too long for the handlebar mount.  I had to shim it with 3 washers to get the length correct.

They seemed to do the job, though.  Almost giving me a full view of what was directly behind.

I was more excited to hook up the new 5.5" side-mount headlight with the new LED bulb I'd swapped out for the included halogen.

I swapped the buckets over and rerouted all the wiring, which was a lot simpler with the Wago connectors.  Turned it on with the kill switch and it looked fantastic.

It was all going swimmingly until I actually started the motor.  Got a very, very noticeable flickering, pretty much in rhythm with the pulse of the motor.

So... left everything as it was but disconnected the bulb.

Back to the drawing board...
