Clearwater Krista's.
72 watt max 5500 lumens Fully adjustable on low beam Only goes max power on high beam Made a custom bracket then covered them with lexan (not in photo). Clearwater has a new one now called 'Erica' that is 6000 lumens on 60 watts. |

Very nice. I'm running an HID setup with a projector retrofitted into my headlight. It's fantastic, but it doesn't allow the adjustability like your set-up does. A quick youtube search comes up with some nice demonstrations, like this one:

Did they really cost $600 each?

Got a chance to see Brian's bike in person and these are beautiful. They were super bright and the craziest thing is he told me they were on low power!

So the resulting question becomes... Is it worth it?
Secondly, are these things DOT? I did like how those are wired into the horn though. |

Under Ga code, there is NO wording about having to have a DOT requirement on motorcycle lighting. At night you can adjust them in very fine increments on low beam to suit the conditions and animals eyes shine much further away, and at wider angles. They do not have a 'cut off' to the pattern like most lighting, so aiming them takes time to get right to where no one flashes you at night. I have only had this happen 1 or 2 times so I must have them aimed pretty well. There are newer LED's that have a tighter pattern and longer throw to the beam but the lack the adjustability. After riding with the guys last week, they all commented on how bright they were and how easy it was to see me, and the whole time they were on full low. |
