Just took a short ride tonight just because i had the urge and while riding I noticed i could not take the curves near as good as during the day. Any suggestions on getting better. I know the more you do it the better but i couldnt look thru the curve like normal. Any suggestions appreciated.

through the corner, you're running on blind faith. Not a confidence builder to say the least.
I would save the more aggressive riding for the day time...besides the critters also come out @ night
Take care, it's very dangerous. Even with improvements to lighting you run great risk at night. Deer and dead animals in your path are a major concern.
Along with speedo correction, hope they do something about the fuggin lights on the '08.
HID's and commit!
hid.
When I ride at night - I find myself riding much more slowly and taking any turns much less aggressively, regardless of lighting - just have to be much more cautious.
I do most of my riding at night, always have. Almost every busa comes from the factory with the headlight pointed low. 1st thing I did was adjust the light up. Big improvement. 2nd thing was upgrade to Sylvania silver star bulb, again big improvement for $20. Next thing will be to install HID. OMSLAW and I split a set on the group buy, and we will be installing sometime soon. I do not ride the same at night as I do in the day. I slow down. As the others have posted, if you can't see through turns, you better be slowing down. If your use a little more caution, riding at night can be alot of fun and in alot of areas much cooler.
