Lights

Here are 3 good choices for lights to add to your bike. All 3 do both tailight and brakelight functions (they have 3 wires). Price runs about $8.00 to $12.00.

#1           Tailight is 2 or 3 times brighter than #2

              Brakelight is about 50% brighter than #2

If you drive in traffic, this light could save your life, and it fits the Virago 250 like a glove – easy replacement of existing reflector

Here is one of the brightest tailight/stoplight that you will find for $9.99 shipped (price varies).  It is much brighter than the stock unit and some competing lights.  You can mount it right above the stock tailight – remove the reflector and mount it using the reflector’s metal bracket.  Check ebay for “Red Double Stop Tail LED Light for Motorcycle”.   Dimensions are 3.9 inches wide  x 2.1 inches high – or 105 mm W x 55 mm H.  It has 18 LED’s and it has three wires that are about 8 inches or 21 centimeters long.  Like most motorcycles, the stock tailight/stoplight on the Virago 250 is not enough, and the bike needs additional lights to be seen by other drivers.

#2                   Not as bright as #1

                Tailight is 1/3 to 1/2 as bright than #1

              Brakelight is about 2/3 as bright than #1
