Hello Everyone,
Here are the Acerbis Dual Road hand guards, i've had them for around 18 months now. They do make a small difference to the wind blast and let you keep using your summer gloves slightly longer. One advantage is that they do keep some of the rain off when riding (> 30 mph) and that is useful.
Anyway, Acerbis sell LED lights for them but looking on eBay these LED strips are popular ([size=78%]

I had to slightly mod the Acerbis clear plastic strip with the dremel but the LED strip fits a treat. It's nice and bright and gives the bike a wider look. You can see from the 4th photo i put some heatshrink on the wires and they provide a neat installation.
The clear plastic on the handguards has a slight blue tint, very slight. If it was completely clear the lights would be as bright as those LEDs fitted to new cars as daylight running lights.
I have a Fuze Block (
www.fuzeblocks.com) fitted (great device, would highly recommend) and as this is a switched live i have the LEDs some on with the ignition. The LEDs draw milliamps so no power issues occur, i've also taken out my sidelights (5w each, 10w total) as they were a little redundant with the LEDs in the handguard.
I hope the post is useful to others thinking about this type of thing, or just to highlight these LED strisp which do allow some innovative mods to occur.
