Default Moto Lights?

Motolights? http://www.motolight.com/
Anyone runnin' em' and if so whatcha think of them?
Would like to run them too as I think it's a good thing from a safety perspective. They're sure proud of them though. $350 and up.

Thought about seeing if I could run Kuryakyn silver bullets, but don't know if they make a mounting bracket for them that low or not?
Got any thoughts or reviews?
Thanx in advance.

I use them on my BMW. The light beam is especially helpful on dark two-lane roads.

Yes, quite pricey, but i got them anyways. I think they are worth it. Better visibility and if it keeps people from turning in front of me, more then worth it.
Since i installed them, i noticed a few cars starting roll, wanting to turn left...and then stop again. I always wonder if they would have seen me without the motolights. So far, I'd say, Yes, they absolutely do make a difference.
Got a thread from last year, right after i installed them.

I have a set of PIAA driving lights I'm going to mount below the foot controls.
$240 delivered for the PIAA 005 Multi-Fit Lamp Kit 74222.

They look interesting.
How do they mount?
Do you have them, or know of anyone who does?

I have them and moved them from my old bike to the new bike. At these prices I'm not giving them away. I have the 100w led and if they help me be seen price is a minor point.

Go down to the bottom of the page. Harley Tourer uses T6S bracket which mounts on the brake caliper.

I have their programable LED brake light but not the front lights. I may get them one of these days though. You can call and talk with Jerry Skeen he's pretty knowledgable on his products and applications.

I've had them on my last two BMWs which I use / used as daily drivers and they look/work great.

Looked at about putting them on the Wide Glide, but opted to go with very bright LED turn signal / running lights from Custom Dynamics. The MotoLights just didn't look right on the FXDWG.

If we pick-up a FLHR for touring you can bet we'll add the Motolights. They're very durable and the 50w bulbs easily "bright enough" for both conspicuousness and for providing some additional lighting down low and wide.
