[QUOTE="torch, post: 1452544, member: 1295"] No matter what lighting you install, assume the other drivers don't see you, or think you are further away than you actually are. In fact, I think the latter is particularly true of the FJR. Two headlights, side by side but close together: at night many other drivers perceive that as a distant car. I got pulled over by a cop who didn't believe his radar one day because I [I]had [/I]to be speeding to travel the distance from where he first noticed me to where I went through the speed trap in the available time. <lol> BTW: same is true of the rear, with the closely spaced tail lights. Same cop almost hit me chasing the "distant" tail lights after I pulled over onto the shoulder and stopped. Drive like a deer: run first, look later. Motorcycles are a prey species and should act like it. Always maintain at least two escape routes and keep your head on a swivel. [/QUOTE]
