Headlamp Adjustment:
Cheat sheet from the manual:
With the bike on a flat surface, and the front axle 25 feet away from a wall, rider sitting on the bike, headlight on high beam, the center of the beam should be 35" above the floor.

I understand that some might not think them cool, but I would not ride without my aux lights. They're not only great at night for side vision, but also really improve my profile during they day.

I did the brake mod for my rear turn signals and they really increase your visibility to oncoming traffic from behind. I am going to add the passing lights to the front next.

I ran Silverstar's For Motorcycle Use - part number: H4ST. They are pretty darn good. I was unable to find the Silverstar Ultra's in 9003 until recently. Just found 'em and put them in last week. I think they are a step up from the H4ST. I also run fog/aux lights for better visibility day and night. BTW the H4 and 9003 are the same bulb.

I think the aux lights look o.k. When you go to low beam do the aux lights do the same? Also do they help for side vision when you have it on low beam?
thanks..

When you switch to high beam the aux lights go off.
The aux lights do help a lot illuminating the road right in front and around the front.
The brake mod is a simple $50 HD product that converts your rear turning lights in run/turn
This adds additional lights in the rear for visibility for you from cars behind you.
