I have the passing lamps on my 01' FB and I like them for the backroad riding at night, lights up the sides of the road more especially in the fall when the deer are running. They are also good during the day for visibility for other drivers to see you if your riding alone.

I like the passing lamp set up on my Fatboy. Looks good and helps me see better at night.

I appreciate all of the responses. I originally like the look of the with aux. lights as well but have started to kind of like the cleaner look of having the signals on the forks.

Do it. Put the spots on. They sure come in handy out on a dark highway in the middle of the night.
