For me I'd rather irritate a few and be seen than be run over by the one that didn't see me.
Chill a bit Jerry, it's going to be a long winter to start it off so grumpy.

How about the one that drifts into your lane because those poorly aimed lights blinded him Chip?  I feel the same way about poorly aimed headlights and spots btw (and I see a lot of those on Harleys as well).

A tiny light mounted less than a foot above the road surface isn't likely to improve the long range vision of the rider.  But it will increase the dazzle affect to the oncoming folks as it bounces around, and that is my point.  And you haven't seen grumpy yet; give me a couple more months.  ;)

 :)   :vrolijk_11:   :)   I, for one, can't wait!   :2vrolijk_21:

Nor, I suspect, can most who live in my climate and north..  It's zero outside and we receive about 5" of snow in the last 24 hours - with more on the way...   :(

What else is on your mind, Jerry?

Check these out. They have the caliper mounts also and a lot cheaper than the motolights!!

I hope for an early spring. Not like this year with all the late snow.
