If you want to do it cheaply, you can try Walmart, about $20 or O'rielly's about $25 dollars. One is 55w's and the other 35w's, they can be seen a mile away. The P-clamps will cost you more than the lights.

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.

Kuryakyn silver bullets light up the road really nice at night and increase visibility during the day. I mounted mine on the engine guard. Its like driving a car at night.

I see a lot of riders with their lights mounted on their engine guards. I question this location being just fine for the highway but on the back roads the lights will follow the head light. I chose the light bar for the forks so the light is there when I need it. I have seen these used in conjunction with the light bar. This way you have the best of both worlds. I am still considering the engine guard for new LED's.

Make sure you use floods and not spots if mounting on the engine guard. The silver bullets are a flood light. They do light up both sides of the road .

Showchrome 3.5 inch, 55 watt, mounted with Kuryakyn magnum clamps. They are effective!

Does anyone here have both light bar lights and engine guard lights? Would our generator be able to handle the extra load?
