better lighting
i picked up my bike today and broke her in right. i managed to get 80 miles in after getting off work at 6.
the only complaint i have so far is the poor lighting. are there any upgrades(other than adding more lights) that can increase the output? has anyone tried HID conversions?

where would you mount the HID ballast?

I'm guessing inside the headlight shell. On Dynas, there's nothing in there anyway, 'cept the stock bulb and the headlight wiring.

For the HID from what I've seen if your head light housing is big enough you mount the ballast in there, but I don't think the Dyna's are big enough, so people put them under their seat and run the wires.
I thought about HID, but I think I might set something up like JRK's. He tapped into his lower trees and put the AUX lights there. I might make a bracket and mount it using the head light bolt. I'll figure it out when I get to it!

I just ordered a Fox Creek 12" tool bag so as to have room for the electronics on a hid conversion plus routine tools.
