RC51 John Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 It's on during daylight/dusk and at night if I don't see any traffic it's on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I thought you don't speed??I don't. I was just kidding. I do nothing other than the said posted speed limit on that particular road surface I happen to be on at that particular time, which is normally GMT-4.

max power Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Brights during day. Always have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 All depends on the vibe I get from traffic. I sometimes only flip the brights on when I'm approaching intersections where there are cagers waiting to turn, the change from dim to bright is sometimes more of an attention grabber than being constant bright. Kinda like a manual mode modulator . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I used to have my brights on whenever I rode, but one day I was following my buddy back from Quaker Stake (not bike night...just hungry ) while he was in his Ranger. When we got back home he goes "HOLY CRAP can your lights be any more annoying?!". I didn't think my brights were that bright, but apparently they are bad enough at night that I need to be just as conscientious about them on the bike as when I'm in a car. Now I run em during the day, unless I'm right behind somebody so I don't immolate their retinas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Drordy Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Visibility.Really!? NO WAY!!! But seriously, is it even noticeable to make a difference? Or do you do it because it might make a difference and that makes you feel safer?I've never done it but I don't see why I couldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMBUSA Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Always have mine on bright during daylight hours. I've got HID's so brights at night are a little mean for other vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMBUSA Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 do you have them in projectors? or is the light just scattering?Projectors. And the Busa highbeam housing is a projection style also. God's flashlight. Hands down the best mod you can do for your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerocrash Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I never run my brights during the day. I think it's annoying as hell whenever someone is coming at me with brights on, as well as distracting and I do not see the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 at least you get noticed.id rather be annoying as hell and be noticed than have some lady pull out in front of me claiming she didn't see me coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
