I purchased a set of smaller CoLight accessory lamps a couple years ago after watching your video on them. They've been flawless. Its probably the best $100 I have ever spent on a farkle. Thanks for sharing.
Two sets of Clearwater lights on my bike. The Super Sevina and the Darla’s. Absolutely love them. Not cheap but man they are solid. US company through and through. Top level Customer service too.
Congrats on the new bike! It’s going to be a fun leisurely ride. Even though I’m into naked sports, I have a Yamaha Vstar 250 that I ride the heck out of.
Great video! I was looking for some new front running lights and almost bought a cheap square set from Amazon. But this seems to have everything needed and for a decent price! Thank you for the instructional!
I was wondering when you were going to introduce us to that pretty little Scrambler. I had noticed it sitting behind you on a couple of your recent videos and thought maybe i had missed one. I too am a big fan of the amber running lights for daytime use. As with you, being seen is our number one safety control in my opinion. I call them my dummy lights. So dummies can see me. HA! I ride a T120. Have my lights mounted on the crash bars as well. Also ride with a high vis air vest. I know a lot of riders think I look goofy, but i prefer being better seen from both front and rear verses looking cool. I'm sixty so dont worry to much about looking cool anymore. The bike is what is to be admired, not the rider. At least in my book. I think you are going to love that Scrambler for nice 50 mile rides.
I've been looking at an extra set of Amber lights for my 23 Tiger 1200 GT Explorer. I just installed the upper crash bars, a set of Trekker panniers and 46 liter top box for my first cross country trip on a motorcycle. Would you run these or the other lights you had on your GT Explorer? I'm so glad to have found your channel. I learn from those who have the experience.
Thank you! Either light is a good option. I liked the way the round lights look on the Scrambler. The larger lights are brighter and offer more features, so just gets down to what you are looking for.
Will these escalate the lighting war as people install brighter lights in their vehicle after being dazzled and blinded by bright lights on other vehicles? When I started riding, my eyes adapted to the night time, but nowadays I keep loosing night vision when faced with lots of oncoming bright lights.
I don't think it's so much of a lighting war, just bad angle of adjustment on the lights. Also, as you have gotten older, your eyes may have become more sensitive to lights at night.
Food for thought; for some of us, it is ALSO being able to see at night. I’ve got a moto in Colombia, and sometimes you get caught out in the dark. Having not only sufficient lumen output but also the correct pattern is critical in situations that include landslides, rocks, cows, dogs, holes, trees, etc. I invested in some Denali D7’s with the switch eliminator (50% at power on, and 100% at high beam). Great product. But expensive. Cannot compare the Denali to your product. Would be interesting to see side by side.
These are a great value! Can you adjust their intensity? If not, you can probably splice in a rheostat knob. Do they allow you to connect to your high beam switch so they stay full blast when your brights are on?
They come with a separate switch, so it would be possible to run high beam and the driving lights, but of course you should not do that when other drivers are around.
Whatever we can do to be seen, day or dark is a good thing! 🍻

Heck of a value there with those lights. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video, Craig. Watch out for the black ice out there.

Thats a cool little bike Mr Ripley,I'll bet you one of your T-shirts you are going to want to put a new seat on that new whip of yours.
Possibly, but I will ride it a bit first and see how it is.
@LivingOffTheSlab I'll take a 2xL Mr Craig.
Another great ''oh more goodies!' video. Put similar lights on my wife's Spyder. All about being seen. Oh, we hit 70° today ... sorry. 😂
Ned in SC

You can’t beat the value! Is there a way

It is not about riding at night, it is about being seen during the day.

@@LivingOffTheSlab It is illegal in the UK to use spotlights except in fog.

We have vastly different definitions of affordable.
