Moto-cycling

I’ve been the proud owner of a 2007 Suzuki sv650 for almost 6 months. The winter months are upon me and I’ve been looking for ways to improve the ride when it gets cold and dark by making myself warmer and more visible. My first major upgrade to the bike was a couple of months ago. I installed a givi windscreen, and that has helped tremendously lately. I’m forced to duck down a little when it gets cold, but it pushes the air over me. The next step is going to be better lighting. My SV650 is the naked version, sans the sport fairings and sport lighting. The aesthetic appeals to me, as does the riding position. Unfortunately, the front headlight contains both the high and low beam, this concerns me, as I would like be slightly more visible (read: annoying) to other drivers. I turn on the high beam when the traffic is heavy and it’s dark out. I think I’ve settled on placing 2 aux PIAA lamps up front, low to the ground. I still need to investigate mounting methods and make sure the electrical system can handle them.
