Yes the lights are great. I used one of those Renton DC to DC converters at 3.5v. The back red light works as soon as I switch the bike on and I short a series resistor through those brake switches you linked me to I got at Dealxtreme so they go way brighter when I hit the brakes.
I cant stand looking for batteries, charging them and fixing stupid torch things to handle bars, and the rest of what seemed to be an evolving long list of crap one need to do just to go for a ride at night. Winter is worse because you need to dress in heavy gear.
I love ridding at night in summer. I stick my anti-bug-in-eye safety eye protection glasses on and the cool summer night air is nice with a cool dry beer.
LOL drink and ride.
Thats why I have two throttles so I can use either hand for my beer. Im learning to control the bike with my left hand thumb controller. Ha at 50 amps I was like almost falling off the seat trying to control it around round-abouts with my left hand. Well right hand signals are hard around a round-about.
I love being able to slip my thongs on and walking into where I park my bikes, I switch on my bike and lights and zoom off I go.
It couldnt be more simple.
The black MP bikes are good stealth at night. Quiet, I love how I can ride through my whole town on party night and you would be lucky to have three people notice you. Its usually the person on the sidewalk in a day dream that spots your bike, waiting out side a night club and you see them focus and pull the WTF is that face. Haha and by the time they hey look at that youre half way down the street. Even with the lights I don't seem to attract near as much attention as I did with the big clunky SLA job or the noisy dyno on the brushed bike.
Most see the bike coming from the front. The lil BMX brushed bikes are terrible at stealth. On party nights I get the wooot by the drunkards. Its almost like I made there night glorious riding past them.
