The owner of this bike saw our display at Motorcycles on Main, an awesome motorcycle event held on the first Friday of every month in Mesa, Arizona. The next day, he came by to have us do a lighting upgrade on his wife’s Fat Bob.
We replaced the factory front running/turn signals, which are normally just a dull-amber color, with LED Switchbacks. These LED lights convert from a bright-white driving light to a bright-amber when the turn signal is activated. We upgraded the factory incandescent headlight bulbs with LED bulbs as well.
It is important to note that our LED headlight bulbs do not use the typical fan style to keep the bulb from burning out, but rather a copper braid that dissipates the heat. This means that the bulbs won’t burn up when a leaf covers the fan or a pebble gets stuck in it. It also means that they can work in the tight, sealed factory light housing.
Safety is our priority at Handcrafted. Anyone with a bike wants to look cool, and we do that well! But they also want to be safe and enjoy riding for a long time to come, so integrating cool-looking products that increase awareness and safety is always a plus for us.
We love bikes! Bring yours by and let us give you a tour of lighting, audio and other upgrades we can do to enhance your ride. You can Contact Us Here.
