Touring & Bagger Motorcycle LED Light Kit
Our most requested setup for baggers and touring bikes! This kit will light your bike from front to back. Built on our hi-performance Low Profile LED strips, these strips have more LEDs per inch than comparable strips on the market today. More LEDs means more light shining on your bike! Built with two ounce copper PCB, the brightest 5050 LEDs available and 1.2mm of genuine 3M® VHB double sided tape, these LED strips are made tough for motor sports applications. Impressively bright, our Hi-Intensity Low Profile LED strips are thin so they can barely be seen when attached to the bottom of your tank or under your saddle bags. They produce a smooth, even glow of light. Available in both single color as well as multi-color RGB configurations. Input voltage is 12vdc.
The single color version of this kit can be wired using the included push button switch or, add a wireless on/off (or on/off/dimming/bluetooth) remote. The RGB Multi-Color version requires an LED controller to operate; make your selection from the drop down box above. The RGB LED Controller offered is our popular COMBO RF + BLUETOOTH LED controller. This RGB controller also includes our BRAKE FLASH feature. See the CONFIGURATION TAB for more detail on these switch and controller options.
WHEEL LIGHTS. For single color lights, we include two 9-LED wheel light in your choice of LED color and case. These 9 LED wheel lights are designed to mount to the brake calipers of the front wheel where the 9 LEDs in the wheel light shine outward towards the rim. You can read more about our 9 LED WHEEL LIGHTS here. These wheel lights are only for single color LED configurations. For multi-color configurations, the kit includes two LED strips each with 6 LEDs + 7' power lead to wrap around the brake calipers.
Waterproof Quick Disconnect Connector Option: The answer to future routine maintenance. Add these Quick Disconnect Connectors to your kit. Install inline on your tank wiring, breather, bags, side panels etc. Wherever future maintenance may require access.

LED LENGTH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Our Touring & Bagger LED light kit is offered in two LED strip length configurations. We do this because some bikes have larger fuel tanks than others. The larger/longer fuel tanks have more room for LEDs on the bottom of them. Each configuration includes 8 Hi-Intensity LED surface mounted flexible strips in varying lengths plus either 2 LED strips (RGB) or 2 LED wheel lights (single color) used for lighting the brake calipers. There's also an option to add a front wheel wiring kit with steel braid. You'll typically want to choose the LED length configuration that has two LED strips that best fit the entire length of your fuel tank.

OTHER ITEMS YOU MAY NEED TO COMPLETE YOUR INSTALL. No two installation scenarios are the same. Not everyone shares the same installation quality goals. Some folks are OK with twisting wires together, others want to solder them. Some folks are OK with running wires where they may be seen or unprotected to save money/time, others want a tidy, clean install without any wires showing. Some folks are OK with mounting their LED strips to whatever surface they can find, others want to take the time necessary to build out appropriate mounting surfaces to provide the best lighting effect on their vehicle. The point is it's not possible to provide all the materials necessary for all installation scenarios and quality goals. Our light kits provide the essential components needed for a high-quality, functioning lighting system. Installation of our light kit to your specific vehicle may however require additional items to make it look and fit the way you want. This is particularly the case with electrical wiring and mounting of LED strips. Before proceeding with your installation we suggest you consider THESE OTHER ITEMS you may need.
Light Kit Configurations
Switching & Controller Options
Single-Color Lighting configurations- Push Button On/Off (default). A simple On/Off push-button switch. Nothing fancy . We typically mount this switch on the left side of the bike just under the tank or a little forward of the seat.

- Wireless RF + Bluetooth RGB LED Controller with KEY FOB style remote and Brake Flash feature (900 LEDs). This LED controller has the same features are the previous multi-color RGB controller except that the maximum capacity is 900 LEDs (10 amps total). With that greater LED capacity though the controller is larger and may not easily fit under the seat so you may have to mount it in a saddle bag. This controller is our SUPER SERIES and measures 4-1/4" x 2-1/4" x 7/8".
(see photos of the RF wireless remotes referenced for these controllers in the product image carousel above)
Brake Flash Interface
The RF + Bluetooth Combo LED Controller includes our BRAKE LIGHT INTERFACE. When connected to the 12vdc brake light circuit, it will turn multi-color accent lights to red whenever the brakes are engaged. Its a great motorcycle safety feature to make sure you're seen. You do not have to use the brake flash feature. If you don't want it, simply cap the 12vdc brake flash trigger power input going to the LED controller.

Typical Installation
Each strip has a 36" power lead hard wired to one end of the strip. On a V-Twin the suggested layout for the lights is as follows:
- Depending upon the LED configuration you purchased, install the 18 LED (or 15 LED) under the bottom of the tank on both sides. Install the 6 LED (or 3 LED) inside the horn cover and behind the breather backplate.
- Depending upon the LED configuration you purchased, install the 6 LED (or 9 LED) behind the engine on the seatpan, oil/battery box or frame downtube. Align it to shine on the rear of the engine. Take the longer LED strip (15 or 12 LEDs depending the configuration you purchased) and install on the frame below the engine. Install on the inside of the frame so it won't be damaged by a jack or when loading onto a trailer.
- Use the two 30 LEDs strips for rear saddlebag lighting. Measure your saddlebag support frames to see what will fit. If necessary, cut the strips and install on the bag frame support - not on the bag itself. Align slightly inward to light the pipes, rear wheel and ground. On some models that have a fender extension between the bag and fender you can cut one strip and install a segment on each extension. This blows the light down and toward the front of the bike. .
- Install one 6 LED strip on the backside of the caliper to light the bottom of the wheel. Run the power lead up the brake line and back to the power source. On bikes with a single caliper consider using the second strip on the rear wheel. You might also be able to install these strips inside the fender or under the fender strut. Looks nice!
This kit is easy for a do-it-yourselfer. Just like the chrome on your bike, this kit is fully expandable and allows you to easily add additional strips in the future.
These lights will also work well on a Can-Am Spyder. Order some extra strips until you get the coverage you want.
NOTE: We always recommend dry fitting or temporarily mounting the lights before installation to make sure you get the look you want. The suggestions above are our recommendations. The final mounting location for the lights comes down to your personal preference. So put them where it makes sense to you and for your bike.
Sealed, Flexible Strips
The LEDs on our HI-INTENSITY strips are sealed against the elements. They are heat resistant, waterproof and easily cleaned for a lifetime of maintenance free operation. The soft, gel-like strips provide maximum flexibility and a clean and sleek appearance. Their low profile design makes them virtually invisible when placed on the bottom of your tank and their wide viewing angle floods your bike with light.
Each strip has a 36" power lead which is hard wired to one end of the stip. If you need to cut a strip, be sure to cut where indicated on the strip (ever 3 LEDs) and make sure you seal the cut end with liquid electrical tape or something similiar to keep water from shorting out the strip. A wrong cut in the wrong place or not sealing the cut end properly will void your warranty. Call us if you are unsure where to make your cut.
