Any info on a good pair of driving lights that will mount to my Mustache guard? Or someplace else on the front of the bike that would be highly visible to oncoming traffic? Thanks

 

Anyone????? The brighter the better, wanna stay noticed by cell phoners, lunch eaters, make-up put-er on-ers, etc......

 

You already have passing lamps...That isn't enough?

 

Nope, they look like one big light from a distance. I want to stay noticed and stay alive!!

 

HID Bulbs maybe?

Not to sound like a dick,but ride like EVERYONE is trying to kill you.

 

Drag Specialties has some high powered driving lamps that will attach to your engine guard.

 

I also have been thinking about adding running lights, so the cagers can see me better, in the daytime.
I was on I-10 last month and somewhere between Miss. and Florida I saw a biker on the side of the road. I slowed down to see if he had a problem and realized he was a motorcycle cop, so I kept on going. A few miles later he came up from behind and passed me going very fast. I could see him coming up on me from way back. He had what appeared like rectangular lights down by his engine guards. With those lights and his headlight (I don't remember if he also hadpassing lightsnext to headlight) madehim very visible coming up on me and it was daytime.
I kind of fixated on the lights when he was coming up on me, while I was thinking, that is the setup I need. My problem is I don't have engine guards to attach them to. I also think if I attached those type lights to my down tubes, it wouldn't have as good of a visible effect. The pattern wouldn't be spread apart enough between the 3 lights.

Love the looks of the H-D fog lamp kit http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_USbut it says it won't fit with the mustache guard. But I like the oval design, and can't find any like it from anyone else. I have looked at the pic gallery on this forum until my eyes hurt and can't find anyone with accesory style lighting attached to their engine guard, am I crazy????

 

Check your total current load, (head light, passing lights and driving lights) at some point you'll reach the limits of the alternator. Not mention that in some states the use of auxiliary light are illegal in the face of oncoming traffic.

[/b](1) Whenever a motor vehicle is being operated on a roadway or shoulder adjacent thereto during the times specified in RCW 46.37.020, the driver shall use a distribution of light, or composite beam, directed high enough and of sufficient intensity to reveal persons and vehicles at a safe distance in advance of the vehicle, subject to the following requirements and limitations:

(2) Whenever a driver of a vehicle approaches an oncoming vehicle within five hundred feet, such driver shall use a distribution of light, or composite beam, so aimed that the glaring rays are not projected into the eyes of the oncoming driver. The lowermost distribution of light, or composite beam, specified in RCW 46.37.220(2) shall be deemed to avoid glare at all times, regardless of road contour and loading.
