Aux lighting - Ducati.ms

Anyone add some aux lights to their Hyper? I like the idea of adding lights for daytime visibility and helping the marginal headlight. Tough to do and make it look decent. I have the R&G sliders, and think a set of the small PIAA 1100Xs might work on a small "L" bracket between the plastic slider and the steel frame insert.

i'm running full piaa's on mine 3 total.. I don't think my setup is what you're looking for, Pics of my Hyppikiller 1100... but they work way better at night than the stock headlight. I know in Japan they usually mount the piaa's to the fork lowers.

Add some HIDs, if you can find a place to tuck the ballast away. They are so damn bright you should be able to see into tomorrow night. I have them on my Rhino for running at the dunes and they are phenomenal.

I have seen a lot of people lately with headlights that pulse slightly during the day. Annoying as hell, but I can see them coming a mile away and they really attract attention. Not sure what they are adding, but it seems to be the cruiser crowd mostly.

Out!

that pulsing thing is just a small box that gets wired in behind the headlight. My friend had on years ago on his Goldwing he got off his dad.

Not a bad idea, they do catch the attention, but when one just comes up behind you unexpected like, I have thought they were a cop trying to stop me...

Headlight modulator, I had one on my VRod. Works good. Does not solve the poor headlight problem though. I think I can make the PIAA 1100Xs work and look good, just have to take some measurements and design a bracket.
