#453529 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1158 Re:road etiquette question 4 Months ago   I replaced mine with the "amber/fluted" bulbs when one burnt out. Adjusted with the low beam and run all the time...   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #453578 gfolkert (User) Blah...

I frequently get flashed by oncoming traffic, and there is no way I can safetly turn them off while riding, so I keep them on all the time. How does everyone else handle this, do you keep your extra light bar lights on all the time? I dont want to blind oncoming traffic, but I like the extra visibility. On all the time... and my headlight is a really Bright LED... screw'em... they've nearly hit me more times than I care to count. At least they see me.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #453639 twowheeltherapy (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 364 Re:road etiquette question 4 Months ago   I have a toggle switch on the left side of the frame right where the tank and nose of the seat meet. If I feel like reaching down and turning them off, I will, but usually if I get flashed by oncoming, I say "good, they see me ......it'll be over in just a second"....and then we pass.   Logged     WOMEN like diamonds.....MEN like chrome   The administrator has disabled public write access. #453643 deadweight (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1284 Re:road etiquette question 4 Months ago   Mine are on all the time.

LOL If someone is flashing their headlights at you over here, they are saying "I am coming and will run you over, so you better get out of the way."   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #453703 bofish (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 350 Re:road etiquette question 4 Months ago   I leave mine on all the time and run low beam. Behind another bike I run them off especially at night. I love the extra visability. Also run extra led flash brake lights and everyone I have ridden with, say wow those get your attension. What i am saying here is it is best to be seen than not. We need every edge we can get.

But I believe that different states have different rules. Some will allow the use of passing lamps with low beam only, others with hi beams only (on all of the time). At least that's what the instructions said that came with my lite bar when I put it on. ( the instructions gave you the option of wiring the lites several different ways in order to comply with local ordinances.) I have mine set with the hi beams, and only use them ( in daytime) when I need to flash my lights to alert vehichles at any suspect intersectios .I run them full time at nite without issue.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #453801 Bushman52 (User) American by birth...Southern by the grace of God.

So mine stay on bright all the time!! I really don't care The brighter and louder my scoot is the better chance of being seen !!   Logged     \\\\\\\" No matter where you go....there you are.\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #453804 William (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 43 Re:road etiquette question 4 Months ago   Whatever happened to the idea of "pro active" driving? I thought that was part of "motorcycling". I'm not wanting to start anything,I just think that as a motorcyclist,a person should try and employ a little skill in their riding. ( you don't know what any driver might do)   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
