Ever notice while night riding? - Page 3

There is no substitute for good lighting at night...it makes riding and driving so much more pleasurable, and relaxed. Anything with marginal lighting is a chore to drive. I live where there's a shitload of deer. Lame lighting is downright stressful.

Where as the Firebolt stock lighting is awful.

You're not kidding. Riding at night with the stock lights was very stressful and completely not fun. Before they recalled my lights it was down right dangerous to ride over about 25mph or so.

If you get HIDs, prepare to always lead the rides at night, cus NO one will want that glare in their mirrors. I can't stand having Chris ride behind me ever since he got his HIDs...

I always lead anyway!

good point but I usually lead when riding with the local group so it should be okay for the most part
