Looks nice , but what I do not see is a DOT approval . I'm all for better lighting on anything , but look for DOT approvals .
Things to remember on lighting . If its bright , and great for you awesome . However you could be blinding oncoming traffic .
That is part of a DOT approval . I'm more of a leave OEM head light , and add additional lighting that can be adjusted , turned on or off depending on driving conditions as well as traffic . Most people do not consider this when making SUPER BRIGHT head lights . State inspections rarely test
the height of head lighting today witch is sad :( Just remember on a lone , and dark night two lane black top you may blind some driver who does not know to use their peripheral vision to watch you while looking at the right lane stripe . They may then wonder into your path .

Talk to Tim(Pashnit) and find out what you need to know. Any head light conversions for these bikes may not be DOT approved. I hate to say this because it sounds mean, but I dont care that my headlight is bright, thats a good thing. Maybe it will keep someone from pulling out in front of me at the last minute because they didnt see me, maybe it will keep someone from turning left in front of me because they didnt see me. Make sure they see you!

I will say this, if Tim sells it then they work. I have never seen him sell any product he would run on his own bike. Note to those that don't know Tim, he probably did have these on his bike.. most mods ever on any one bike had to be a pashnit bike.

Are these adjustable or are they at least aimed the way they should be?
