Important: Vader headlight
 
Hey guys, figured I'd let you know about my experience with my headlight last night. I did the swap recommended by maxipad so the bulbs wouldn't kill my battery. I rode at night (I live in the country so no street lights) and it was the most horrifying ride I've ever had. I was outrunning the headlights at about 20mph and just could not see a thing. Unless you have streetlights in your area I do NOT advise riding in the dark at all.

I had the same experience, ran it with high beams on the whole time..

I highly recommend using the LED light bars. They work extremely well. Granted, you do need to invest a bit of time to putting it all together, but it's a fun project.

I didn't know motorcycles have low beams ;) Seriously though, I always use high beams when I riding. Deer strikes are common around here so low beams are not an option. I've ridden the monster to work at 2am several times and the headlight is better than my Breva. I've thought about putting a larger battery under the seat and direct wiring auxiliary LED lights to it.

Yeah with this I had my highbeams and the aux strip on. Still did nothing. And yeah deer are common up here in Maine too *que Louis C.K. joke*
