new bike, new mods

[sinto607276]

either new lights completely, hid or projector lights.


in my bike in the thread with the spots ive got a 100w white bulb and a osram nightbreaker with the little bowl removed to allow more light and as you can tell its hopeless, the standard lights give terrible lighting.


spotlights are the cheapest and easiest.
new headlight unit means removing fairing.
hid is about £60 or so and illegal.
projectors are around £150 and involve cutting the original headlight to fit.


each to their own though.


i have my spots wired into high beam and on low beam its enough to cope with normal riding at night, on  high beam its like riding in the day.

What do you reckon Paul?
This was a HID H1 I have in my car, just thought I'd try it in the bike to see the difference,  legal or not, being able to see is more important really, I've spoken to a few traffic cops I know and they say as long as your not blinding people,(or riding in such a way as to draw attention) you would not be pulled for just having HID'S on your bike.
