Howdy! New here and looking for some advice. Recently had an RTA & long story short, I am in the need of some advice. Just before I pull the pin and order an OEM Foglight, are there any better options on the market. Thank you in advance.
I know givi does some, but probably not the cheapest. The OEM ones will likely be the neatest solution though. I do think being more visible is a good thing, but strangely the only bike I ever had with auxiliary lights, I got wiped out on by someone pulling out in front of me. Theres no substitute for being extra aware of potential accidents really. Welcome to the forum by the way
I went for some indicators that double as DRL from Alchemy parts. I put a switch on the handle bars, which is a legal requirement so they can be turned off at night. When the indicators are on they alternate white and amber. I like the extra lights, but worry the indicators are less obvious, I suppose I can always turn off the DRL if I want the indicators more prominent.
I've got these on the Scrambler and very pleased with them. I had them on the Berg until I replaced them with some twin beam lamps for night time off roading. Mine throw more of a spot beam so not that suitable for fog TBH when you need more of a light spread.
In N. America we have Denali Lights (Twisted Throttle.com or .CA ) which (I'll say) perform very well. Just transferred/installed my "old driving lights" after 10yrs on at least 3 other bikes! They have multiple types of LED lights for Front/Rear/Signals etc. Also, different company, the CSP Mini LED H4 replacement is amazing Here's a pic of the "old" Denali lights I just (re)installed. Mounted to frame just behind the rad. Had to modify the bracket length to get them forward of the exhaust and clear line of sight past the gaiters! Also ran a wire to power a GPS - There's not a lot space under the seat for relays etc.... Both are triggered by the Ignition Switch (ON)
I fitted these about 4 months ago, as I ride a speedmaster I do not want anything too big. These a really small but bright and fitted on the front forks above the wheel. Can’t find a photo of them fitted but happy to take if required. https://www.alchemyparts.co.uk/pair...cycles-motorbikes-scooters-quads-trikes-cars/
