Power Saving for where it is needed.

I am looking to extend the range of my bike by any means we can, so I want to save as much energy for the motor as possible.
Allot of electricity is used by the normal lighting / gauge system on a standard motorcycle.  I will be replacing the electrical system of the bike with a very low amperage system of LED's.

For the headlight I am looking at something similar to this link below.

The drawback to this setup is the lack of DOT approval, which could lead to tickets.

My plan calls for replacing all lighting with LED's.  This should save a great amount of current over the standard lighting of a normal bike.

One alternative would be to use

More research needs to be done to find a DOT approved version for my needs.

  1. Power saving home appliances do help care for the environment by reducing 'greenhouse gas' emissions and most importantly these things help us save money on energy bills.
