Your work is relentless. Just want to say, your channel has been the best thing about the quarantine. Thank you
Ahh man thank you!! That means a lot to me. I wish I could bring you guys more rides and camping adventures. That will all come in time;)
WoW what a difference!!! Great Mod! Love that you got this bike an doing vids on all your upgrades an stuff!Great attention to details too
Thank you!
Thanks Dude for not just this, but all your great videos/ content.
Always straight! Always real! Always authentic! Always sincere and contained!
And always sharing informations and experiences!
Keep it up! It's very much appreciated!
Thank you. I really appreciate that❗️ 🙏😊🙏
They make a huge difference, I’ve not even ridden mine in the dark yet! Surprised to see how bad the stock lights are considering they are led though!!! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe 👍
Ya the aux lights make a huge difference.
Great job, those lights make a big difference.
They do. I love it!
man you are my motivation to go back to the streets, i'm from portugal and already made a huge trip all by my own, Portugal - Holland, i'm now getting motivated to go back to the roads specially by watching all your vids... thanks for this content man, you are absolutely amazing and such a pleasure to watch everyday. Please don't ever stop posting this kind of pearls... oh btw, i'm a owner of a new CB500X 2019 :D
Thank you 😊
Excellent. I like the way they follow your steering, not just point straight ahead. I want more lighting to the sides for seeing where you're turning to.
Very nice. Makes a considerable difference.
YES.....ROCKETS!!!! 👍🏻🚀
Difference between on n off is crazy!
I’m looking to add some aux lights to my CRF250l but didn’t know where to start looking so thanks.
Cheers!
Ha ha. Yes rockets!! 🚀😎🚀. We all need them mounted on our bikes 🤣. These lights are rad. Really good price point vs performance. I’m super impressed.
Oregon Motorcycle it’s too bad these don’t ship to Canada. I did get enough info from this video and your relay install video to begin my search tho. Thanks again.
Critter_moto oh ya that’s right. Another person from Canada commented on that.
You are doing a great job 👍
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
30 Hours ago, I bought a 2018 CB500X. I can't wait to do the upgrades on my ride, and get out there!
Haha. That last bit cracked me up. Ya those might be a little bright for oncoming traffic.
Enjoy the videos man, I just picked up a new red 2020 a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately due to a licensing loophole I technically can't ride it yet, but loving it so far. Also my first bike with a manual transmission so still getting the hang of that. I will be doing some electrical mods in the future, I like your relay and voltage monitoring set up.
Chris Watkins thank you. Congrats on your new ride. Is the license hang up for you or the bike? I still haven’t got my proper registration for mine🤣. The cops around here could care less about MC tags though.
Oregon Motorcycle thanks! I’ve been riding a 400cc scooter the past year. Since I did my final road test on the scooter my MC license was restricted to bikes with an automatic transmission and “step through design”. I must pass another road test on a manual bike to get rid of the restriction, but I technically can’t ride one to practice or do the test. So I need a supervisor at the ICBC (Insurance Corp of British Columbia) to revert my license back a step. Then I will be able to ride the X during daylight and without a passenger until I do the road test. I just have to wait until the offices are open to the public again. =P. I believe they are a lot more strict about licensing and registration up here compared to Oregon. I was able to get insurance and plates, but if I get pulled over or in an accident I’m basically screwed. It would be nice to get the scooter sold but I’m keeping it to commute to work until I can take the X.
Chris W ok. Makes sense. You know scooters are a blast. I had one back in the day and regret selling it;). Good luck on your testing.
@@OregonMotorcycle I will miss the scoot for sure. I can fit 24 beer under the seat with room to spare, haha.
Bought you a coffee. Great content. Stay safe bro.

By the way are planning on adding a power distribution module? Like a pdm60?
Ryan Clemente thank you so much. Super thanks!!! I don’t have any plans at the moment as I am more focused on protection for now. If and when I get a slip on and air filter, I might look at a power commander.
Oregon Motorcycle I was talking about this pdm60.com/ 😊 looks very useful when adding a lot of accessories
You aux light setup super nice...As a note, you can adjust the hi and low beam height for the headlight. There is individual adjustment knob behind the headlight for you to fiddled around. Mine, both low & hi beam stuck at hi-beam height. I have yellow aux flood light for rainy days as support light.
Thank you. I plan to add yellow lights when I get my crash bars.
Good stuff!!
Thank you!
Nice bro!!! I want to add some jato rockets on my CBX, I’m also thinking of a mini cannon like the predator has on his shoulder, I’m thinking it would look good between the forks below the front fairings
Raul Cano ha ha. 😎🚀🚀😎
That laugh 😁
Courtney Montbrand ha ha. I was a few jack and cokes under when I filmed that. I couldn’t believe how bright they were.
Another great video..... Thanks again. Where do you work if you don't mind me asking.
Nice video but I have to say I would be very skeptical to mount extra lights on the moving part of the forklegs. It will be a massive challenge for the lights with all that shaking and I guess the light also will seem to vibrate when moving over bumpy roads. I think a light bar (as sold by Givi) is a better solution.
Might be, but I noticed zero vibration and I rode over some bumpy roads. My main concern is the brackets holding up. These lights are little, and weigh nothing. The mounts are stainless steel so I should be ok. I’m getting crash bars next and might end up putting these on the crash bars along with another set. We’ll see how they work out in the long run;)
@@OregonMotorcycle I am interested in the 2020 HONDA OEM lightbar/crashbar for my aux lights. I do not have it yet as I have read some people have vibration issues from some crash bars.
Are you planning to get the OEM bar or another companies? Looking forward to see what you get and watching your review, keep up the great videos! =)
LDesp thank you. I’m looking at aftermarket crash bars.
Ordered some today after seeing this they look awesome I couldn't find any that would ship to the UK I done some research and found some on aliexpress hopefully they don't take ages to arrive £20.99 free post China to united Kingdom cool vid thanks
Really enjoying your style of videos. Found you from looking for reviews on the newer gen CB500X. Do you have a video on your bark buster handle bar guards?
I don’t have a video on them. They are just cheap ones from amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B010HNS6V4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
@@OregonMotorcycle thanks. disregard my other comment then. LOL new to youtube
Looks great Definitely my next mod but in my opinion the best mod for this bike is a 16 tooth front sprocket for on road use
No way;). The bike is geared perfect from the factory. You’ll only decrease the overall performance of the bike by putting a 16 on it.
@@OregonMotorcycle I must disagree in my opinion its much better maybe you should try before judging
John Crittenden it decreases the top speed and lugs the motor more at high way cruising speeds which lowers your fuel mileage. On top of that you loose your low end in first gear for technical off roading. The engineers at Honda did an excellent job gearing this bike based on horsepower and weight. The 16 tooth is popular amongst people who cant control the throttle at low speeds in first gear.
@@OregonMotorcycle I agree for off road I raced motocross for 30 years and this bike aint no off road bike dirt road with a few bumps yeh unless you get the rally raid suspension kit, but i did say on road in my first reply and a sixteen tooth sprocket improves this bike be it on motorway or side road belive me try it
how did you connect your swtich to your relay setup?
Would these be good as the main Aux lights on crash bars instead of on the forks or are they not big/bright enough ?
I don’t have crash bars. When I do get them, I will put another set on the bars. These could probably be mounted on the bars.
Hello little question i also installed aux lights with a switch fuse and relay. but i'm looking for a positive wire after the ignition. the one on the side is allready used for my 12v socket and when i'm looking on the thicknes of the wire that goes to my relay. I dont think i have a wire with the same thicknes on the bike could you help me out ?
Did you connect the negative wire from the light(s) directly to battery or did you ground it directly to the bike frame?
I have a main ground wire running off the battery going to all my accessories.
I dont like the extra switch. Its may be ok on roads with no cars or traffic but if you have to switch it off and on constantly it would be better closer to the handguards. The best solution would be to connect it directly to the High-Beam which i just did again on my CRF250L ... problem i heard is the CB does not have enough power to do so and the wires will start burning :/
My CRF250L had a 54W lightbulb as Headlight before. I changed it into an 18W and installed 2x18W AuxLights which gives me again 54W so no problemo at all. Wonder why HONDA does not provide a better and easier solution to install AuxLights, i dont know anyone with a CB500X doesnt want extra lights ;)
nice video, thx for sharing, a bit more about the Electric Connection would be nice next time.
The relay is what you need. Otherwise the switch carries the load. Has nothing to do with wires, it’s the switch. Install a relay and you can use any switch you like as there will be no load on the switch.
The switch I installed eventually quit working and I just jumped it so they are always on.
@@OregonMotorcycle so if i am installing a Relay, do you think i can connect them to the original Honda HiBeam switch? like i did on my CRF250L?
Yes.
Very nice man. Are you happy with them so far? I'm in the same boat, ride to work in the mornings when it's dark and my route has a lot of wildlife. I need something to brighten up the shoulders. I may have to look into these. I also like that they are not $200+ lol
Yes I am very happy with the price, size, and performance. You should give them a try.
Any recommendation on additional wiring? Do not need a full harness just need to extend wiring.
You need a hot lead and a ground. You need to run a fuse too.
Hey Michael
Can i use this led for all day use just to get extra attention for people who don't see motorcycle. My plan is to splice into live wire attached to ignition just like usb plug. Please advise if not this do you know which one will work everytime motorcycle is running. Thank you 🙏
I run mine all the time. I have all my accessories ran through a relay that is wired to the ignition. That way there is no load on the ignition but still is switched via ignition.
Wie sind die Blinklichter geschaltet? Ich habe das Model 2021 und da gehen diese nur beim Blinken. Nicht als Positionsleuchten. Braucht man 3 Polige Blinker? Würde mich über eine Nachricht freuen.
Very nice. I ser you turn light. I realy like it, how you can have the turn light always on?
It’s stock.
What size and where did you buy that reamer? I checked local stores and could not find anything. Amazon has some aluminum ones but are like 3 weeks back order. Thanks for sharing!
It’s a lexan body reamer. I don’t believe they come in different sizes. The hobby shops should have them in stock. I found a few on amazon with about a 5 day delivery. www.amazon.com/ZYCST-Protective-Bodyshell-Connector-Universal/dp/B07ZVD3V6W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=lexan+body+reamer&qid=1591539927&sprefix=lexan+body&sr=8-1
@@OregonMotorcycle Thank you!
Any concern with dropping the bike on the lights?
Yes and no. I’m getting crash bars next (should be) and hopefully those provide a lil protection for them. And who knows, I might mount these to the crash bars eventually.
at the end i feel bad for your neighbors as you snicker at how bright your lights are shining on there house lol
What lights? Brand? Source? Price?
Love the video but be careful if u go off-roading! I put mine there and they both snapped the bracket off!
I’ve put these through 10k plus miles of hell. Zero issues.
Oregon Motorcycle are ur brackets cast or steel?
Stamped steel.
I also go to work by 430/500 so i live by my aux lights.
I love these lights. They really give me a better view at night.
Good point about pointing them out toward people pulling out to you. Been there and it is a great $30 addition anyway you look at it.
Yes indeed. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. How many watts are they Sir? Thank you
20 I think. Don’t remember
@@OregonMotorcycle THANK U
@@Para-ni5lx The Amazon page for the lights says they are rated to 27Watts however they actually draw about 1A at 12Volts so actual operations is about 12 Watts total (~6 Watts each light)
Are these lights still working out for you?
They sure are.
Rockets! 🤣🤣
Take a look at AliExpress for a bit of under side protection. Sold by Yolense and by the looks of things works with a center stand! 🤗
Cool deal. I’ll check them out.
you might want to consider some kind of waterproof switch
I’m going to replace that switch with a WP, lighted unit if I can. In the meantime, dielectric grease is my best friend;)
Cb500x light do suck. Feel like you get minimum light with the old and new
Ya they are not too bright;)
In the UK you can find a good selection of light kits at: www.sercomoto.co.uk They cost half as much as Denali lights, with the latest, newer Cree LED's.
now let me get this straight..you added lights because you wanted to see better at night..
