    Those of you with number plates...lights?

    What do you do for night time riding?

    I won't be able to bear not riding in the night so I need some sort of light that either will bolt to my handlebars or strap to my helmet.

    I'd really like a helmet light that straps on and has a seperate battery that I could put in a backpack. Anyone have a good product suggestion, a great compact, lightweight, and more importantly really bright light they can recommend?

    I rigged up some driving lights for a car to my 200x when I was running a number plate. Wish I had pics of it. Took a piece of metal and made a mount that bolted on using the handlebar bolts. It would only run one at a time though. Looked pretty cool. Biggest downfall was how fragile they were. First roll over and they were both toast.

    That helmet lighting system is damn expensive. I really want a helmet light system.

    I think I could make a nice handlebar light system that mounts to the tripples or handlebar clamp.

    On a tecate ,if you have a radiator guard you can use the original headlight mount for the light/s.

    Billit Halogen lights

    Get an aftermarket Billet Halogen lights. They are small but put out great light. You see them in the ATV magazines. While your at it get a LED Rear Brake Light. Thats one more thing I need instead of the original one I have now.

    I'm not running a brake light, dont plan to either. Some of those billet lights are damn expensive too and I'd rather have a helmet light.

    I have the original rad guard but have no intentions of mounting it either.
