Who knew..Maglite in Impact Blue

[newventurer]

I got this idea from one of the threads where the guy built (ok, overbuilt) his own extra gas tank and he had a flashlight mounted on his bag. When I came across this Impact Blue flashlight I just knew I had to mount it.

Shoot, they've been making Maglites to match my bike for years in anticipation. ::025:: ::025:: ::025::

However, that looks great and accents an already good looking bike!

Yeah, and Ford made model T's to match too. How exciting is that? ::015::

Hundreds of black flashlights out there. Somebody knows something ... R

Thanks! Coming from the Founder of the Chromatically Challenged Society, that means a lot! ::012::

No problem! I actually like the Blue a lot, I just enjoy teasing Rod whenever I can. ::003::

Yup, just shows that 'Ol Henry also knew what he was doing over a hundred years ago. ::015::

I DO have a complaint about the Black Tenere, though. In the sunlight, the metallic they added makes the bike look dusty all of the time. Being a Black purist and "Founder of the Chromatically Challenged Society" (I LIKE that, Freebird, thanks!) , I would have preferred a solid non-metallic black instead. There, I have bared my soul, I been set FREEEEEEEE!

Just remember..."Once you GO BLACK, you'll never be blue"

Yep, that's exactly the case with the Raven black I had on my FJR. Still, a nice color.

all of my mag lights are black. They have to be. I will definitely add a blue one to my bike for my arctic circle trip!

It also happens to be one of the new LED models. I am hopeful that it withstands the bumps vs. the filament bulbs.

A small but significant admission. ::025:: ::025::

That rocks! Nothing's worse that having a crappy flashlight when you really need one.

Also, since it'll be light all the time up in the Yukon, we can use that one to fend off bear if needed.

Funny...that realization came to me after I got done admiring my work. ::010::

Believe me I will find some obscure use to justify the expense and installation time. ::019::

FreeBird, if that is a 3 D cell mag light you need to upgrade it with a TerraLux 700 lumen upgrade Kit. Trust me! This is one of the best 100 bucks I have ever spent. Turns the night time into day.
