    They also make a deal that lets you head light blink so it will catch there eye's , I've seen a lot of the wing riders with them or you can be like the rest of us & just watch for them extra hard :eek:

    I wired my spots so they stay on when the brights are on and works great when wanting to be seen even in daylight hours.

    Those blinking wings catch you eyes and are easier to see.....but, I always think I wouldn`t want mine blinking......My thought and what I tell my wife is to always make like every SOB is out to kill me!!!!! Worked so far...

    I notice that some bikes have lights that are so bright that they even bother me during the daylight hours. I guess that they have their brights on. I want to be seen but not irritate anyone.

    Definitely like them, not to loud at all speeds but still have a good sound. Liked my standard V&H Ovals to.

    also, a lot of bikes lights are out of adjustment. they probably dont do much night riding, so they dont notice that their lights need adjusting......
