After emailing them their current batch of lights only have 12" of wire that's not encased in a cover, they plan on making the next batch longer. I suggested they make them 5' long and encased, and add a switch to them. petty stuff but for that price I would rather cut the extra off rather than solder on to it

Ok I'll be the one to say it.....the lights are cool no doubt but I don't understand why you take off perfectly good lights that do a good job for aesthetic reasons only to go and spend $200 to get your night vision back. I'm not bashing at all, it's your bike and your money. Just don't see the logic is all.

I'm just guessing here, but if the lights are screwed to the crash bar there wouldn't be any way to aim them vertically. If that is correct, I would think that the lights don't provide useful illumination of the roadway at night and are only useful to make the bike more visible to other motorists.

I was also looking at upgrading to some LED aux lights but was looking at these for usability: http://www.lazerstarlights.com/i-160...k0304-125.html
The turnoff was that they are spot beams. Need someone to offer 50/50 spot/flood LED's that will work with lowers and highway pegs.

Take a look at the Custom Dynamics Cool Magic driving lights. They are fully adjustable. Come in cool white to match the LED headlights or warm white to match the halogen lights.
Work great at night. I have them aimed slightly to the ditches to keep an eye out for jumpers.
They also have a custom mount bracket that mounts on to the front brake caliper.
Only draw back is if you have the "fangs", they will hit. I ended up shortening the fangs and powder coating them black, they blend in nicely now.

I sent an e-mail to Cirius about the power of their lights and the answer was very prompt. I asked them how many lumens these lights were and was told it is 300 lumens. Not great, but not bad. I also asked for some pictures of the lights at night without the headlight of the bike lit. They sent me that also. It looks like these may well be a good fill light for the Daymaker. Now my only problem is I run a Lindby bar, so I am not sure they will work with that.

I am thinking these are more useful as a light that makes vehicles see you better, the light I have seen though bright is unfocused and much more like a floodlight.
Unless you have the reactions of superman or only ride 15 mph these light will be of little use lighting up on down the road ???
