Lighting

[SpyInTheCamp]

So now I have discovered how crap the 1200GS's lights really are. And that's after upgrading the bulbs!

Coming back from the MotoGP on Sunday night, I rode the A68 in much darkness. Fortunately following someone on a VFR for much of the time. But when I was out front or negotiating some fun bends etc., it was all a bit 'interesting'!

I've done a search on here and the main option seems the be the rather ugly sticky on lamps from the likes of Touratech.

Any other options worth considering?

I don't think that the stock item is too bad. Maybe the old visor needs a bit of a clean

Perhaps an eye test may be in order?
I don't have a problem with the lights, but would stress that getting them aimed correctly is a bit of a game.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Other than the 'flip' lever for heavy or normal loads how have you adjusted the beam?

OK, I'll RTFM to see if that - wait for it - sheds any light.......!

Maybe I was spoilt before? I had a VFR with great night-into-day lights. Either way, the current set up is less than satisfactory for me. I suppose that I could have slowed down though.

I fitted the neat little wunderlich lights...more to be seen though...bought & fitted by prestige.

Oh aye......right! I've told you.....you've turned into a bloody hooligan since you got the GS.

I've got a pair of brand new huge Hella Luminators you could mount on crashbars. Let me see.....to you....

Crashbars.....

That would further reduce the available lean angle.
