Default Well...I gotta say I saw the light...

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity I have converted my 12 RKC to LED spots and headlight. I had looked at a lot of different setups and the Custom Dynamic won.
I started with just the spots figuring it was the cheapest way to increase my daytime visability (I seldom ride at night). I did take it for a night ride and the spots were so bright I could barely see that the headlight was on. Sooo...I added the CD headlight with the halo ring.. I know it gets noticed because in the middle of the day cars were flashing their high beams at me. Lifetime guarantee is nice too...Mission Accomplished!

Great lights do indeed increase the comfort level both at night and day. Both of my bikes have awesome lights. If vehicles are flashing you it might be a good idea to check that they are aligned properly and I am sure (I hope) you can find how to do that. Both of my bikes needed adjustment and I suspect it is because they were never correct to begin with but not noticeable until bright lights were added.

After finally getting LEDs all around, I said the same thing, "why did I wait so long".

If you haven't already, consider upgrading the rear lighting to LED as well
