ok guys... it looks like night riding is the only thing you can do on the mountains anymore (due to swine)... i want night to look like day... im thinking HID as obvious one but also powerful led (super power ful style lights used in racing) as well as seriously powerful light attached to helmet

night time will be become day... 'i am the night rider'

anyone know where to look for these sorts of products?

also does anyone know how much extra power that i can draw through the acc1 and acc2 for our bikes?

is an extra 60W too much?

I do wonder what HID combined with the projector headlights of of the 690 duke would do.

Thought these might be the go



but then I saw the price. $878 for a HID and a fog.................fudge.

But then I saw the R1200GS Beemer price, $783 for ONE HID...........holy fudge.
