Passing Lamps
For those of you riding a model equipped with passing lamps, do you run them all the time? Does anyone really use them as flash to pass?

I run mine all the time because it makes you more visible to cars. Ive been hit by a car and I dont want it to ever happen again.

I keep them on all the time, never flash them when I'm passing. The switch is not in a good spot on a road king to use them for passing.

Mine are on all the time. I have Never flashed them to pass. I am not sure how everyone else's set up is, but mine are on a toggle switch. So I won't be reaching down toggling and passing another vehicle with one hand on the bars.
