Your life shouldn't be about cheap while on the bike , a bit of a safety tip . Lots of ways to go from the extreme I did with a set of Piaa X-1000 driving lights down to a buddy who geeks up a set of the cheapy walmart fog lights a couple times a year , he just can't understand why they keep falling off his bike .

Forget all that PIAA hype. I had a set of Northern Tool driving lights on a Honda ST1300, that were fantastic. Lots of light down the road, not much spill into the other lanes.

If it was just hype I wouldn't have them trust me , been looking for something comparable and as small for years for other people .

Sounds like you and your bike need to visit the good ol' USA and while you're here load that "HOG" up with goodies!

Sturgis or Daytona Beach may be just what ya need!
