    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm thinking that I would like to arm my GS with some running lights. My high beam rocks, but my low leaves a bit to be desired. I would like to supliment with something that will give me some distance and width on the low beam without blinding oncoming traffic or drawing the attention of law enforcement. Any suggestions?
 
Live with it. :confused:

Yeah, the charging systems on these bikes don't have a bunch in reserve, so can't handle much in the way of additional lights. :(

Do you still have a sealed beam installed, or has it been upgraded to the newer H-4 style headlight with a replaceable bulb yet?
 
I've thought the exact same thing recently phaseman. I'll be watching this thread with interest. The problem with GS's is the dodgy elecrical systems. I'll be interested to see what people say.

New tech bulbs do make a difference. The Sylvania/Ostram Silver Star is a popular upgrade.
 
There are some hellishly bright LED arrays out there now that might be an option. They are a bit spendy, though.
 
If you can find one of the 8" E model headlights they put out a tremendous amount of light even on low beam. They are getting tough to find though.

I still have the original style lamp installed, I'll look into sealed beam upgrades and see what I can find.
