Ok,I'm going to be getting some driving lights. I wanted to ask who's using what and how do you like them?  I drive in the dark a lot and would be using them daily weather permitting. My ride is a standard with a windshield.  I hope to replace it with a woody fairing someday.

This fellow makes a really simple one (you need to get your own lights for it) that I
think I'd like if I didn't already have the unobtainable Cobra ones...

When I had a Hoppe fairing, the only lightbar that would work with it (that I know of) was the
unobtainable Rivco one. Some people said the Cobra one would work, but unless you had
real small lights, the back of the lights would touch the fairing...

For night riding I would get 4 small LED lights,

2 mounted high for spread and 2 mounted  low for distance

Or just install a Daymaker and matching driving lights.

If you drive a lot at night, I have PIAA 911 on my St1300, I plan on putting some type on my tourer  close to these.  there not cheap but very good.
