Somehow I really doubt any rc or dot would say anything as they woild probably be thankfull that at least im following the rules and the law, which makes their job easier.

Agree 100%.

Looks good.

OHHHHHHHH great....now every DOT and RC who see's your set up is going to wonder why the rest of us don't have such a whizzy light system! :d

I hope this light bar will make the DOT happy in BC, lights for night travel and a flag for the day.

Were are you guys riding in BC thats giveing you guys such a hard time?

No kidding!! I thought I was going out on a limb putting a reflector on my sled deck. Save your money from the fancy light barr and just hang a red "thong" on a track lug, from your "opposite sex partner" you know what i mean.. and you will never get hassled. And if you leave it on while riding it's good for traction.

nowhere special and never had a problem, but everyone else is saying there's an issue so I'm just covering the bases. I cant stand giving this god damn government any more money than i have to in the form of tickets so just covering the bases.

likely get ticket for the wiring not being secure, lol

This is what I do for lights. They are reflective, with side markers. They also have the turn signal and brake lights. The left one has a pig tail wired into it so you can run it by itself for one sled, or hook the right one into it for 2 sleds. I just use a small chain and bungee to hold it on the sled or bobtail of the deck.

Looks great. Its alot easier to rig it up now than on the side of the Hwy. I put my light in the same place, (bungy around track) I've never had a problem.

Looks good, I'd just secure the cord so it isn't waving around.

those sleds dont look like they would hang off much

 

[rknight111]

Quagmire just bought some lights at Princess auto and a few bungee cords and done.

yami looks tweaked..illlusiion?

 

[motomike450r]

Not trying to be an azzhat here but... I keep seeing pictures of short box trucks with decks and sleds hanging 4 feet off the back. And alot of commentary about how to meet DOT requirements.
a. Why not a long bed?
b. Someone should come up with a light kit to plug directly to the existing wire outlet like some I have seen on here (for inexpensive retail).

Honestly just curious since I am still a little new.
ps. I bought a long bed specifically to haul dirt bikes and sleds.

 

[kchop]

What is th DOT spec for overhang? At what overhang do you require lights?

Mine don't, but I sell between 35-50 decks a year. Some of those guys have sleds that do hang over a bunch.:d

Marathon does make an extension that flips over onto the deck when not in use. Just sayin.
