Lighting Up
Ciro’s Quill Fairing Light, Goat-E Light, and Fairing Vent Light for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles
When it comes to upgrading a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, riders often seek components that enhance both form and function. Ciro has consistently delivered in this department, offering a lineup of innovative lighting solutions that add safety, visibility, and custom style. Among their most impressive offerings are the Quill Fairing Light, the Goat-E Light, and the Fairing Vent Light—each designed to seamlessly integrate with Harley-Davidson touring models while dramatically increasing lighting performance and aesthetics. These aren’t just accessories—they’re enhancements that redefine what’s possible in motorcycle illumination.
The Quill Fairing Light: Bold Style Meets Practical Visibility
The Quill Fairing Light is a unique lighting solution designed specifically for the front profile of Harley-Davidson Batwing fairings. Designed with aerodynamic precision, the Quill Light fits snugly along the outer edge of the fairing, adding a signature LED glow that stands out both day and night. Available in both chrome and black housings to match various factory and custom looks, this light is more than just eye candy—it serves a functional purpose by increasing front-end visibility, which is crucial when riding in low-light or high-traffic conditions.
What sets the Quill apart is its use of super-bright white running lights and amber turn signals, making the rider more visible from wider angles. It connects effortlessly with Ciro’s plug-and-play wiring system, eliminating the need for splicing and cutting. Whether you’re looking to modernize the look of your bike or add an extra layer of safety, the Quill Fairing Light offers a high-impact upgrade with minimal installation time.
Goat-E Light: Fill the Gap with Function
The Goat-E Light—named for its placement underneath the stock headlight, often in the space referred to by riders as the “goatee”—is a game-changing lower fairing light. While it might be smaller than some of Ciro’s other products, its effect is mighty. This white LED light bar illuminates the road directly in front of the bike, filling the dark zone just beneath the headlight that often goes unlit with factory lighting setups.
The Goat-E Light also serves as a white running light and an amber turn signal, boosting your visibility to other motorists at intersections and during lane changes. With a low-profile design that complements the natural lines of the front fairing, the Goat-E adds a sleek yet aggressive look without drawing attention away from the rest of your bike. It’s ideal for riders who frequently travel in urban environments or at night and want better command over their visibility footprint.
The Road
Fairing Vent Light: Subtle, Sleek, and Surprisingly Effective
The Ciro Fairing Vent Light fits neatly into the center vent of Batwing-style fairings, offering a subtle but effective forward-facing light source. It blends in beautifully with the fairing’s design while providing added illumination right where you need it—front and center. The light is equipped with white running lights and amber turn signals, giving you another point of forward visibility while also enhancing your directional signaling.
This light is especially beneficial for riders who want a layered lighting setup—multiple light sources working together to ensure maximum visibility without looking cluttered. Like all Ciro lighting, the Fairing Vent Light features durable, weather-resistant construction and uses high-quality LEDs designed to last tens of thousands of hours. It’s also part of Ciro’s plug-and-play installation ecosystem, making it a perfect weekend project with immediate benefits.
Designed to Work Together
One of the standout aspects of these three Ciro lights is how well they complement each other. When installed together—the Quill Fairing Light outlining the fairing, the Goat-E Light illuminating below the headlight, and the Fairing Vent Light anchoring the center—you get a fully integrated lighting package that dramatically improves nighttime riding and visibility from all angles. Whether you ride solo or tour in groups, the added presence these lights offer can make all the difference when it comes to safety and confidence on the road.
And because all three options work with Harley-Davidson’s touring models and follow a plug-and-play philosophy, they’re accessible to most riders—even those without extensive mechanical experience.
A Worthwhile Upgrade
Motorcycle lighting is no longer just about seeing and being seen. It’s about making a statement, reinforcing safety, and customizing your ride in a way that feels personal. Ciro’s Quill Fairing Light, Goat-E Light, and Fairing Vent Light do all that and more, transforming the front end of your Harley into a modern, functional work of art.
Whether you’re planning your next cross-country adventure or simply want to enhance your evening rides, this trio of lighting upgrades offers serious bang for your buck—with premium quality, clever design, and unmistakable style. Thank you for reading!

This little old lady decides one day that she wants to join a biker club, so she goes down to her local club and knocks on the door.
The door is opened by a big hairy biker with a beard, who’s covered in tattoos.
“I’d liked to join your club,” says the little old lady.
The biker is amused by this and decides to play along, telling her, “Ok, but you’ve got to meet the requirements first. Do you have a bike?”
The little old lady points to a Harley and says, “Yeah, that’s my bike there.”
The biker is surprised but says, “And do you smoke?”
The little old lady says, “Yeah, I smoke 20 cigarettes a day, and when I’m shooting pool I’ll smoke a few cigars too.”
The biker is impressed and says, “And have you ever been picked up by the Fuzz?”
The little old lady says, “No, but I’ve been swung around by the nipples a few times.”
A little girl and boy are fighting about the differences between the sexes, and which one is better. Finally, the boy drops his pants and says, “Here’s something I have that you’ll never have! The little girl is pretty upset by this, since it is clearly true, and runs home crying. A while later, she comes running back with a smile on her face. She drops her pants and says, “My mommy says that with one of these, I can have as many of those as I want!”
A man goes to the doctor and says “I’ve got a problem, I have 5 penises.”
The doctor says “Wow, how do your pants fit?” He replies, “Like a glove.”
My wife crashed the car this morning. When the cops came, she said the other guy involved was on his cell phone and he was also drinking a beer at the time.
The officer informed her that the guy was entitled to do whatever he wanted in his own home!
Police Officer Didn’t Give Him Enough Time To Explain. But When He Does ... Priceless!
A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.
“But, officer,” the man began, “I can explain”
“Just be quiet,” snapped the officer. “I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.”
“But, officer, I just wanted to say”
“And I said to keep quiet! You’re going to jail!”
A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief’s at his daughter’s wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.”
“Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom.”
A guy gets pulled over for speeding and the officer said, “What’s your name son?” He replied, “D-d-d dav-dav- david, sir.” The Officer looked at him suspiciously and said, “Oh, do you have a stutter?”
The guy replied, “No sir, my dad has a stutter and the guy who filled out my birth certificate is an asshole.”
Operator: 911, what’s your emergency?
Man: A guy just got hit by a car, I need an ambulance.
Operator: What’s your location?
Man: I’m on Eucalyptus street.
Operator: Can you spell that for me?
Man: (long awkward pause)
Operator: Sir? Are you there? Man: I’m gonna drag him over to Pine street and call right back.
A young man was starting his first day as a valet at a golf course when a man pulled up in a new Cadillac. He opened his car door and a golf tee fell out. The valet picked it up and asked what is this.
The Cadillac driver said it’s a tee it holds up my balls while I drive. “Wow”, the caddie says “those Cadillacs have everything”.
