I'll be taking my first long-distance ride on the fjr next month, and am wondering about ading extra lights. I'll be driving from the San Francisco Bay Area to northern Idaho, a trip I've done many times in cages. Well, ok, pickup truck with camper in the back.
I know that with the truck's lights (F350 dually), I usually want more light. I presume the same will be true on the fjr, since I won't have an extra set of eyes or three looking out the windows.
I just ran across this: TrailTech HID and their lights page.
What I'm looking for opinions on is several points: I think I want extra lights, but would like to hear what others think or have done. Based on the chart on the lights page, I was wondering about doing the scmr16 spot on the left side of the faring and the scmr16 flood on the right.
Am I throwing money away? Ok, it *is* farkling after all. Are there better alternatives? $350 is steep, but I like the ballasts being in the enclosure.
