Default Crash/Highway bar mounted lights
Thinking about mounting a set of Baja Designs S1 lights on the crash bar. Wondering if there if it is distracting from the riding position or not noticeable? I had trucklites in my passing lamps in the past and remember the distinct cut off of light that happens once you are out of the main beam with LEDs so I'm assuming the since I'm behind the lights it wont be an issue.

I don’t run the S1 but I do run the S2Sports
I don’t find it distracting at all.

They are aluminum plates I made to keep the wind off my knees.

Disregard the "Gas cap holder"
This lamp is aimed to illuminate "the ditch"
