[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1388921, member: 3187"] So I wanted to see how good the lights are. On my '14, I've had the scary experience of a pitch dark Scottish country lane where I couldn't see the edge of the road, with ditches, rocks, goodness knows what waiting to grab me when I missed my way. Three miles of sphincter-testing fear. Today, I went out onto a local country lane after dark, no street lights, no moon visible. Well, I wasn't disappointed. They lit the way very adequately for 60 mph (the legal limit on these roads), and I'm [I][B]very[/B][/I] sure they would be ok up to at least 80. The cornering lights also do actually help when leaned over, though I only tried them on slow tight bends, so speeds were low when I lit these up. I do need to raise their aim a little, but the balance between main beam and dipped seems much better than the previous bike's incandescents. I'd read [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/173520-phantom-blue-matte-paint-encounter/page-4?do=findComment&comment=1387782"]a comment made by Warchild[/URL], I quote: When I first read this, I didn't know whether or not to believe him, but I am very pleased to say he is right :) .
