Visibility

[inlinefour]

You continue to show how much of a turkey you are by continuing on about it. If you dont like what I said, sorry. But your whole attitude to other road users really concerns me

I see that you like to trade insults also. I can live with that, but don't bitch when your recieving if your going to dish it out

My xt has only one headlight going at at times (dip or high beam).... So I fitted a visibike unit to help me be seen... This way I hopefully won't blend into the following traffic.

Is that what they call the system that allows the indicators to stay on unless in use? I always assumed that it was a factory wiring set-up that allowed that. How much do they cost and where can you get them from?

The reason why some bikes with two headlights only have one for main beam is that the floks in the European Union decided that a bike with 2 lights side by side look like a car a long way away not a bike close up.

I understand that it is possible to convert them to have 2 lights on main and high beams.

The indicator lights being ON all the time is a common thing in the older CBR's. Eg. CBR250RR and CBR600.

And Kwakas - although I notice mine actually has bulbs with 2 filaments each, the dimmer one stays on all the time and the brighter one is the indicator.

I didn't know that about the Kwaka's, but now I know. thanks.

This allows euro cagers to know that it's only a bike approaching so they can pull out on it.

Otherwise they might think it was a car and behave cautiously and sensibly.

HAd a few funny PMs to and back. My bike also has the headlight permently on, more of a safely thing. After my experiences, you'd have to be a tad silly not to ride at all times with your light on, as it only takes one wanker in a cage not to see you
