In the quest for a different look has anyone who has the dual light setup on a Bird also installed Triumph auxiliary lights?
I guess it would like 4 headlamps across. Does anybody know the diameter, total width of the dual lights (if would fit between auxiliary lamps).
If nobody has, is anybody able to patch something together in photoshop (Birdy maybe ) just to see what it would look like.
Thanks
John

Thank you, nice work.
Now thoughts anyone? The lights would be chrome. Hmm

I can't say I really like the look... but I'd love to give it a ride at night. You'd be like the midnight sun screaming down the road.

(Re: Birdy68) | | | I love the dual headlight set-up (plan to eventually do it to my Bird) but I'm not a fan of the aux. lights on top of the dual headlamps. Too busy up front for my tastes, but to each his own. I think a pair of LED driving lights mounted to the forks would be a more subtle lighting set up and still give more night time visibility. Of course lighting here in AK is a moot point...when it's dark enough for lights, it's got snow on the ground so adding lights would be purely aesthetic in nature.

I have the caliper mounted motolights. They would work well with dual headlights.

How do the moto lights hold up to being caliper mounted/ mounted that low?
Ive been wondering this for awhile, you have had those for sometime if memory serves.

| | Posted : 18 May 2012 - 13:44 Post title : Re: Dual headlights with auxiliary lamps? (Re: DC13) | | | I put them on in 2009. The motolights are expensive, but they are built like a tank. I have had no issues with them at all. The glass is very thick and bulbs are still the originals.

Been thinking about them since I first saw them but after my last set of lights that saw 4 sets of lenses before i just gave up and took them off I wanted to make sure they are built for the abuse of being mounted so low.
Thanks
