I try not to ride at night. Piss poor night vision is one factor. Wandering critters for another reason. But as an urban commuter, I want to be seen by approaching vehicles.
I subscribe to the theory that our reptilian brains judge approach speed and distance of vehicles by the rate that their headlights widen. Therefore, auxiliary lights on a motorcycle mounted vertically aong the headlight axis are not nearly as efficacious as widely mounted lights.
So on the handguards of my T-Dub are now a pair of automotive daylight running lights. About six inches wide, bright white LEDs define the width of my bike.
Every little bit helps. Pics coming soon.
