I need more light...

jayg · 07-06-2008, 11:08 PM

Since I am a traveling man that prefers to travel to the east and I want to be in the light...I need to add some light to my bike.

I would like to add some PIAA running lights and install/strap them to my shocks. Has anyone done this type of mod?

Thanks...

Can you take a pic and post it here?

I put an acerbis cyclops on mine. wow....55watt low beam, 55watt hi beam. I'm considering a relay addition so that I get both hi and low beams when I switch to hi, but don't know if the little stator will handle the 110w drain

Can you please post pics of your mounting system?

For those who have added light to your bike can you please post photos of your lighting mounts and improvements?

I don't want to rain on your parade but I believe we only have a 75w generator, which would account for the low wattage headlamp bulb.

So I guess if I see an output issue I'll upgrade the stator

. 75W is really low, do we know what models that is true of?
