Ebay item number 140307123624 . I bought 2 of these. they work great and don't cost mega bucks . They look wicked staring off the front of your bike . 7 led bulbs in each lite . free shipping . check out the Swagman Mity Lite . Note: I had a lens cap pop off during a rough ride . No damage though . I suggest securing the lens cap with a couple wraps of electic tape . still looks kool .

The lights look cool! but I just noticed something VERY IMPORTANT about your bike! The brakes that you have are very dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!
If the main cable breaks, the lower cable is pulled down onto the tire, locking it up & throwing you over the bars!! You should swap them over to "V" brakes ASAP!!! (seriously)

Would this be a safer way to use this brake set-up ? I added a front reflector just to mask the cable, safety catch . Thanks for the heads up on the safety issue. I have been launched over the top of handlebars before on a motorcycle , spent 28 days bedridden in a hospital . Wouldn't want to try it again .

Looks good to me! You should visually check your cables once in awhile anyway.
