for those still interested, I went with the Hyper Lights--small 2" LED's, total of about 12 on a side. Hide's well against the ford on the front fender and is quite noticable "blue/white) light. Nothing against Moto or Kuryakyn but i really didn't want to clutter up the front end any more than I had to. Will try the Hyper's out for a while and I can always change out to the hyper if I want more light. Thanks for all the reply's.

I run the HD fog lamps, mounted them on the engine guard.
Moto-Lights... while spendy, work well. If you're handy, you can get basic "P-clamps" and mount ant number of fog/driving lamps onto the guards

I am running HIDs from DM tuning and I love them. FYI on my RG I was having trouble with both lights firing when I started the bike I went threw a few ballasts with motorcycle metal, then I hooked up the acc switch to my head lights so I can turn them on after the bike was running no issues since then, I think the two bulbs take just a little more amps then a single bulb so they don't always fire.

Post up a pic of your new light set up if you get a chance. Would like to see how it looks.

Thanks

You can also get fork mounted lights that turn when you turn the handlebars. I took the "engine guard" lights and mounted them off of my floorboard brackets for a ceaner look-however I found that I was scrapping them on hard turns. They also make an add-a -light to where the blinker mounts so you have the blinker and the add'tl light in the same mounting location.
