Actually, I am wondering if anyone has mounted this specific Honda "multifit" PIAA 1100 kit?

http://www.newenough.com/parts/parts/lamp_kits/piaa/1100x_multi_fit_kit_honda.html

It is not specifically listed for Valk, but does appear to be a multifit for a front fender mount.

I like the Motolights (caliper mount, 50Watt) better, but they are just too expensive.  PIAA makes an 005 kit that is listed for Valk, but they are only 35Watt bulbs (and cannot be upgraded), and the 55Watt 1100s are much much brighter.

This is the PIAA 1100 universal mount setup.  Anyone done it on Valk?

On an ST1300


On an FJR1300

I have PIAA 3.5" round driving lights mounted in my pods on my interstate. Replaced Honda fog lights after hitting a deer with right side pod.

I looked on PIAA site, looks like they are not made anymore. The model I have is a 55 watt bulb and will outshine my highbeams. If not adjusted properly tend to get flashed by opposing drivers. I would recommend going with the 55 watt bulbs. At the time the PIAA's I have sold for around $200.00

Don't install driving lights on lower fork assy.. Mount them on the upper fork tube.. To much vibration and light distortion on lower mounts...

I have not installed the PIAA 1100 on my valk but I have run them on a truck and a car and GD those are some bright a$$ed lights. Currently they are not on my car, instead they are sitting on my bench, and I am sad. tickedoff

You will love them regardless of where you mount them.
