Moto lights

[SOTA]

had moto lights put on my bike what a world of difference.

 

also had Avon storms put on, and rode in pouring rain for 100 miles they stuck to the road.

 

All I have left to do is have rotors put on. but Tom at

can get some for $100 less then BMW rotors that are better then the BMW, but could only find 1 in this country so waiting for the other one from Europe, so it will be a couple of weeks.

also had all the fluids changed to synthetic amsoil

nice RTP you have. I am considering moto lights but for the price it will take some more consideration. Looks like a pristine paint job. Have you had your bike painted?

[SOTA]

That is the original color, thinking of adding some color to the white, but the moto lights and having to buy rotors in a few weeks the paint will have to wait.

 

the moto lights for me not so much for the looks but for safety

Bob, Looks like you cleaned her up. What a difference! Looks great.

 

Motolights, Avon, UltraSeal, Amsoil, all great moves. I'm looking forward to Nubb's update.

You could always buy some scotchlight and add some trip to your bike. You can get it from www.galls.com. I used all black (reflects silver)on mine and you can hardly see it when not reflecting light. i cut the three inch roll (about $10 for 5 ft) that I bought into 1.25 inch strips on a 30 deg angle. Put them along the sides and back of the side cases and form below the mirrors to the front air scoop. Also just added some along the bottom between the front edge of the fairing and shift and brale levers. Not too gaudy and does the trick at night.

 

I have recently noticed moto lights on a couple of beemers. Very noticeable.

I will probably take some more in the next day or so.

Just a note on Moto's , their warranty is the ultimate I have had mine on my 99 rt since 2000 , when Fernando and I were riding to the ERC at Santa Maria I shattered a lens , I called Tina at Moto and it was in the mail n/c , recently I was having dilemmas with wiring within the enclosure behind the bulb , she shipped off a new pair of wiring harnesses , all I was charged for was the amber bulbs , these individuals are the ultimate in customer relations ......

these individuals are the ultimate in customer relations

Ditto on the customer service. Outstanding, beyond my expectations. And the product is durable, no problem with extensive rough road riding. Over 100k and 7 years using Motolights.

I think they're worth it.

 

(And I'm a notoriously cheap bastard.)

 

I had PIAA 1100's on my RT, mounted under the oil cooler on an EZ-Mount bracket from CycleGadgets. We put MotoLights on Lisa's RS.

 

I like the motolights better for a number of reasons:

1. Their position (low and wide) is much more conspicuous than lights that are mounted higher/closer together.

2. Great warranty/customer service (as Tim mentioned)

3. They use standard MR-16 bulbs that are available dirt cheap in every Walmart and hardware store in the free world...usually in a variety of beam patterns and wattage.

What did you use for rear running lights and aux. brake lights?

 

Thanks.

How are yours [hers] mounted so they are "wide"?

 

thanks.

I listed the part numbers earlier in the thread.
