Exclamation How to best help light deficiency or Road Glide

Had an 05 and decked it out pretty good including the Daymaker lights. As I do most of my riding in the twisties I found blind spots in tight turns. I have read of caliper mounted lights and know that spotlights can be mounted on the engine guard. Planning on getting another Road Glide this winter (hoping for price drop then) and looking for suggestions/ideas.

There is a brand of small lamps, Motolights, that can be mounted on the forks or even calipers IIRC, which get good reviews. They seem popular with BMW riders.

Motolights - improve both your visibility of the road and make you a lot more visible to oncoming traffic. Clean, easy install and a quality product.

Are these the same BMW riders that leave them on all day long and then use hazard lights for filtering as has become the fashion on the A3 into London of a morning?
