Whack a top box and some saddle bags on and you're ready to tour

I'm with GB - the original light looks better -maybe just work on the mounting to get it a bit closer in?

Possibly because of the screen, but I preferred your old setup. Was a bit different.

You need to take the screen off now, get a straight edged one.

Id like spots as they look good, but after reading how poor night vision is compared to the standard one i think ill stick.

I like twin spots but I also liked your other headlight, which looked a bit like the LSL one that I want. But as the LSL one is £hundreds I'll be sticking with mine. Anyway, getting back to yours I think I'd probably keep both and swap them back and forth when the mood took me!

I like the lights, and I like the screen. Together I'm not so sure, the screen has a cut out for a large round light and this makes the twin lights look unplanned to me.

Crucially, do YOU like it? Because that's what matters
