Anyone installed HID headlights yet?
#1

Had a close call with a texting driver today and I want to make my bike more visible.

I guess riding in hi-vis gear, with my high beams on, in broad daylight didn't help....so now I want to make my headlights like the sun!Big Grin

I tried searching but came up blank, so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Got a couple auxiliary trailtech HIDs installed on two sides on the crashbars ..they do a pretty good job making us more visible to others and providing us more visibility too...

Wakes them up fast. I installed in Dec and won't be without one again. Remember you can turn it off by turning off the high beam. I think they think it is the police so it grabs their attention.

Yeah, I came up fast on a guy by accident and, with my modulator swinging the light between high and low beam, it too him aback. After realizing I wasn't a cop, he gestured with his arms, "What's up?" as in, "Why are you flashing your brights at me?" Blush

[url=http://clearwaterlights.com/products2_pp.html]Clearwater has some nice looking auxiliary lights. I sent them an email with a photo of a CB1100 suggesting they add it to their list of supported bikes.

Greg, did you ever hear back from Clearwater? I still don't see the CB1100 listed on their website with a kit number.
