Well maties,
I put these in last year and combined with a seven inch insert from a mob called Narva, the difference from stock was amazing.
I don't think I'll have much argument when I say Triumphs electrics and in particular the headlight and charging are absolute crap.
Lucky we have this place where we help each other hey?
Btw Keith, I don't want to rub it in too much cos you're a good bloke (maybe a little bit
) but I dont think I'll ever get rid of that picture of a wall of lights in front of your bike. I think it was imprinted as part of my hysterics.
Apologies again. Now I never mentioned it before but in Aus we have our headlights hardwired to be on all the time ( do you ) and whilst I believe it makes me safer, it combined with my GPS and iPhone with running music and another app, I'm not sure how much drain of power is happening. I did do the trick larger gauge wire from the regulator to the battery but I'm not sure how much extra power I have left. So my thinking along those lines is more of a driver than the extra light as I was wanting to reduce drain if I could.
To be honest I'm pretty happy with my current light cos it now works really well and safe for night time riding. Regarding HID light throwing light everywhere, I'm thinking that may occur with the stock headlight lens but maybe the goodie I have now should direct the light where it should. I wouldn't buy one till I find out more though.
Thanks for your comments though. Hopefully we'll get someone who's done all the research so we can poach it.
