Signal Minder and VectraLIGHTS

October 1st, 2006
:This photo is a bit under exposed to show how the various lights (head light, Vetra Lights, Signals as running lights) compare.  The Vectralights are the weak link.

I added Kisan Tech’s Signal Minder (hereafter called SM) and VectraLIGHTS (now known as VL) to the motorcycle, a Kawasaki Ninja 650r. The SM automatically turns off your signal lights and has the option to turn your signal lights into always-on (at reduced output) running lights. The VLs are strips of LEDs that mount under your mirrors and provide an additional set of signal lights. They can be used separately, but when used together, the VLs just plug into the SM. The results are a mixed bag. UPDATE: Well, that was fun.  After about 10 months of use and maybe8,000 miles, one of the VetrcaLights failed. They weren’t very good to begin with, and it was out of warranty, so I took them off the bike.  The “running light” option conflicted with the lights I put in the Givi truck, so I turned off that option.
