Stock lighting leaves most touring bikes dim at the edges and invisible from the side. At Big Wood Customs in Chesapeake VA we fit LED headlights running lights and accent lighting that let Hampton Roads riders see the road properly and be seen by everyone else on it.
Headlights That Actually Light The Road
A modern LED headlight throws a wider whiter beam than the halogen unit your bike left the factory with and it draws less current doing it. On a dark stretch of Battlefield Boulevard that difference is the gap between seeing a pothole and finding it.
We fit sealed units with proper beam patterns rather than cheap bulbs dropped into a housing that was never designed for them. A correct cutoff keeps the light on the road and out of the eyes of oncoming traffic which is what keeps the upgrade legal as well as useful.
Running Lights Passing Lamps And Accents
Most of the visibility problem is sideways. Running lights along the fairing lower legs and saddlebags give your bike a shape a car driver can read at a glance instead of a single point of light they have to judge distance from.
Accent lighting is where a build gets its character. We wire controllers that let you set color and pattern from your phone and we run the looms properly so nothing chafes flickers or drops out the first time it rains.
Wiring Done Once And Done Right
Lighting faults are almost always wiring faults. We fuse every circuit separately loom it away from heat and moving parts and use connectors that survive a Virginia summer rather than a strip of tape and hope.
Riders across Chesapeake Virginia Beach and Norfolk bring us bikes to sort out lighting somebody else installed. Getting it right the first time costs less than getting it right the second.
