Couple of mods

I'm not a fan of the spikes either, but that's just me.

As far as the headlights goes, let me know what you think because I'm definitely interested in that upgrade!

I run LED's in my bike. I changed bulbs in head light and driving lights as well as the tail light. I will say that all three up front do increase direct light in front of you. No question about that. However, the high beam you will find out is useless. It does not increase any light distance at all. Only disadvantage to LED I have found is the distance in light extension. I run these in my truck and car as well and have the same issue. I bought the Stark Series from Amazon. Adjust the height angle properly as these are blinding to on coming traffic

Aarrrgh! My throttle lock won't work on the new grips. Gonna have to start hacking and sawing.

Yup, 5 minute install. Hint: don't unscrew and take off the metal clip, just flip it upwards.

No luck. The chrome end piece near the switch housing is sloped from the housing to the first rubber pad on the grip. I cut a strip of wedge shaped rubber to fill in that space so the mount would have an even surface to grab to, but it turns out that that strip plus the rubber pad are too thick. The thumb lever grips the grip too tight, even when "off", as soon as you try to attach the chrome ring to the lever. I'm headed to an Arizona Route 66 ride up north, but will take another stab at the lock when I get back. A man's work is never done....

Finally took my bike out at night last night and WOW, this LED is AMAZING, it's gotta be 10 times brighter than the stocker, nice and white lights up the whole road. High beam lights up the sky!

Best $20 I ever spent :)

It might be an idea to carry a spare mate.Here's 2 comments from Amazon buyers."Nice bright light BUT only lasted 43 days, (more than 10 but less than 20 hours of use). Failed at night and left me without a headlight on my scooter".

"Nice and bright, but lasted only 4 months. Fortunately it went out when I was less than a mile from home on my scooter but not a good feeling when you're already hard to spot in the daylight!".

I was thinking of getting one until i read that.I ride with the headlight on all the time.Let me know if yours survives for any reasonable period.

Interesting Mick - I'll let you know how long mine lasts!
