Finally light that I love...... so far
« on: June 15, 2012, 11:06:47 PM »
Well I hope I finally found lights that work for me. I got these lights http://www.mondomotos.com/product/MM15aux/ mounted the SNARF's mounts, and all I can say is WOW! I am very impressed with their sturdiness/ruggedness their weight is substantial too.  These are pencil/flood lights. Up close their very much a flood light, in that they illuminate everything, but they also shoot a pencil beam the will roast a deer a mile down the road too.  It is very important to make sure these a aimed correctly, out of oncoming traffic and not blinding car in front of you.
 I have mine points down and a little to the sides and it's working very well.  One of the pictures is the sun in front and you can see that they are clearly visible.  I rode them to work at night and they fill in any and all dark voids in front of me, and push the shadows way back of the road shoulder.

Size compared to my glasses.


Mounted on the Rt side


On during the day


Sun in front during the day


and at night, you can see way aiming is very important with these light.


I really like these. they really complment the DRL01 that I purchased from the same place

Sorry you weren't able to attend the National, it was a great time. How was your trip to Wetern NC and the mountain region? I can't wait to spend some serious riding time out there.

MOB when ya going to quit bust'n my hump ;D I have never claimed this was my design. I have contacted Guy and has given me his blessing to fabricate his mounts.
I to am just kidding. I do try to give him credit. Guy great idea and thank you for your blessing and permission.
