lights on the moto

1100x PIAA
Last month, I bought two 1100x PIAA lights for my motorcycle. My 07 sv650N has a single front headlight that has both high beam and low beam. The sun goes down so early these days that I ride home every day in the dark. I’ve been looking for a little more light to be more visible (so someone doesn’t hit me) and to see more things (so I don’t hit anything). I selected these halogen lights because that are very bright and have a wide spread, since most of my riding is in the city.  

I had a couple of problems with installing the light, one foreseen, one unforeseen. I knew it would be a pain to mount the lights. There needed to be a bit of shock protection, clear sight, and sufficient separation in the lights. I bought a couple of electrical clamps and wrapped the mounting points with electrical tape.

So far they’ve been absolutely great. I’m able to see more and I feel like more people can see me, too. I really like having an annoyingly bright light. Maybe it’s my nature of being a younger brother?
