Just to be cool. I dont have them. I've not added anything that didn't have a function or a purpose. But I've found out some of the whips work with signal lights, so I'm thinking of adding them now since they would have a purpose. Also that would make me cool too.

Do you even own a SxS?
I mean that sounds a lot to me like joining HondaSxS but not joining the Pub.

I thought they were stupid until I was on a group ride at night, it was a little dusty so every body was staying spaced out, I could see all the turns that the group made, that's when I got mine.

Ok so it’s not a required item to ride certain areas, purely a cool factor, I’ll pass.

Like Smitty335, riding in dusty conditions, at night in woods, is someone's stopped, you can see thru the bushes around the corner.

I got a Buggy Whips white model rated at 17,000 lumens. I'm street legal in Texas and it adds some safety visibility from the rear from drunks and impaired drivers.

In the late 80s, I got rear ended on a sunny day. I was sitting at a stop light and he was going over 45 mph. Totalled my car. Decided to never repeat that again.

For me, it's worth the peace of mind.

I get what your saying but I also believe in the situation you experienced it still wouldn’t of helped.

I thought the same thing about rock lights.why is everyone putting rock lights on there sxs , Thats stupid.......... couple of weeks ago i put rock lights on. Why not ?

 

[CID]

I like 'em - Ooooooo, lookit all the pritty lights. 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍

But I also see them as a never ending maintenance hassle, too many places for wires to break, so I'm passing for now.

Like a lot of things done to SXS, not everyone needs/ wants them. But some want every bolt on that they see. Kind of like AR15 mods. Some crap hung on them is just there for the cool factor.

I can see where a lot of thing work where the SXS is being used- a lot of the ice fishing stuff is need where you ice fish, but in NC I have never seen ice tick enough to walk often let alone thick enough to drive on. Rock crawling mods are something I will not need. Not going to racing sand dunes either. I could mud bog, but I would rather not,lol.

So just because you see someone do a mod, does not mean you need it too, lol

Why is everyone putting whips on these?

2 reasons, 1- safety, 2- easy to follow at night in the woods, and 3 they are cool, the kids love them.

Are there flexible whip lights so the trees don't break them in tight woods riding? Or would they swing wildly out of control when riding? How far can a rigidly mounted light bend when snagged?

During the day time, faster riding I tuck them under the roof, no flopping or banging, night just untuck them, slower riding.
