Motolights, or a less expensive option. I want additional lighting for the Buell I will be purchasing soon, primarily to make me more visible during daylight hours. The triangle of light that motolights makes really stands out on the road.

Another option is a headlight modulator. They're annoying, but that's the point, it get's me noticed. I really want to install several additional lights somewhere up front instead. What have you used? Have pics?

Gazoobla, Paint your bike neon orange, get a modulator and extra lights and you will still be invisible!

when I had my BMW with the headlight modulator. Some idiot cagers would pull over. I guess thinking I was a cop

You get noticed.

I plan on adding 2 small HID driving lights.

I have them on my Uly and they are unbelievable. I have HID and upgraded Halogen spots on my Ultra and I like the motolights better on my Uly. Instead of 55 watts, I now have 155 watts. Recommend upgrading to the 50 watts for the small difference. They look great on the Uly too. Be sure to mount them on the flat spot on the forks not on the taper. YMMV

How well do the motolights light up the road? I've read that they are better as fog lights.

I like the way they look, nice and small.

Hey Biker_bob. I have a Uly and I'm thinking of mounting motolights as well. Do you have a picture? Thanks.

would it be possible to mount those where the turn signals usually ride? Or are they too large and heavy? Just a thought.

I'm not at home until late tomorrow, but I will post pics when I can. On the motolight website, they show the reflectors mounted and motolights under. My reflectors were too low to do that and I had to take them off. Answer as foglights, I'm snot sure of your definition of foglights butthese things are ultra bright. I think they are brighter than the real HID headlight and Halogen spot lights on my Ultra. True road ditch to road ditch light. They are really incredible at night. As posted above I have the 50 watt option and highly recomend them. YMMV

I have a set of Motolights on my M2 and love them. At night they really light up the road, during the day they make you more visable. It's not uncommon to pull up behind a "left lane bandit" on the interstate and they look in the mirror and move to the right lane. I have the 50 watt versions.
