Currently in the middle of converting my headlights from single to twin setup. Can anyone who knows a little about lights or electrics answer me this? (i'm a total novice, just getting the parts in, so this might be a dumb question)

The headlamps need main and dip, i get that, do they also need parking lights? - i.e. legally do we need them and in terms of wiring is the bike set up for them?

I'm looking at some Cibie H130's (at around £30 a pop), anyone got any experience with these or any comparible product (UK ideally)?


basically, in the full knowledge that i'm trading down from a 7" light down to two 5.75" lights (ala Speed Triple) i want to get the best light output i can within reason - hence looking at decent output lights.

I'm on a budget though and aiming for £50 (both Bates buckets got) and around £50-£70 lamps.

Anyone share their experience or advice?

As always really appreciated
