I've been riding for for about 28 years on many different genres of bikes - from dirt, to cruiser, to crotch rocket. I have to say, this bike is by far the best I have had the pleasure of owning and riding. It's versatility, quality, and capability coupled with it's reasonable price point make it a win win!

These incredible compact lights put out a whopping 3,030 lumens per light while drawing only 35 watts. For comparison, the average 55 watt halogen puts out about 700–900 lumens. The D2s are available in a dual beam Driving pattern that includes a nine degree spot and 18 degree wide in the same optic for long distance throw with good horizontal spread. A 30 degree “wide” beam is also available. We generally recommend the Driving beam pattern for most motorcycle applications as they project far down the road as well as light up the ditches. Rigid Industries is now offering a "Pendant switch" that is motorcycle friendly. Great for the handlebars (see related items below) and a big improvement for motorcycle applications as compared to the included "dash-style" switch. The new Pendant switch is self-containedm waterproof switch, very durable, and mounts on the left hand control for quick access when you need to turn off theD2 lights for oncoming traffic. We have several types of mounts available including our custom crash bar mounts, as well as our model-specific triple tree mounts for KTM bikes. The Amber covers are a great addition for daytime visibility by others as well as fog and dust conditions. These simply snap on and off and can be removed in seconds. CHECK OUT THE RECENT MEMBER REVIEW IN THE BMW MOA MAGAZINE and the REVIEW IN ADVENTURE RIDER MAGAZINE BY BILL DRAGOO More from Rigid Rigid Industries is proud to present the latest in LED lighting. The D2 is our new compact light that packs quite the punch with light output. Producing over 3,000 lumens and only using 35 watts of power. The new D2 is the brightest compact auxiliary light available to date. With temperature sensing circuitry, the light unit will regulate between 80–100% power to prevent damage and keep the LED optimized for the environmental conditions. With no airflow the temperature sensors will automatically dim the light roughly 10%, virtually imperceptible to the eye. This temp sensing circuitry was developed to help protect the customers investment. Features: Unbreakable polycarbonate lens Cast aluminum housing Plug and play wiring harness with switch 50,000+ hour lifespan Zero UV emissions IP68 certified No hot spots No vibration or bouncing beams 100% optically clear lens No warm up—instant on/off ROHS compliant Over/under voltage protection Integrated thermal management system Big Power in a Small Package: The Rigid Industries D2 LED Light is one of the most versatile lighting products on the market today. This six LED light can be used for virtually any lighting application - from off-road to agriculture. At only 34.5 watts, the D2 produces 3,030 raw lumens of light. Its compact size and shape allow the D2 LED Light to fit almost anywhere. Specter Optics: This Specter Optics System is our most advanced optics system yet. Our engineering team designed the six LED Specter system to project light not only far, but also wide. Rather than a conical beam, the Specterprojects an oblong beam that is wider than it is tall. It directs the light to right where it’s needed, instead of sacrificing light to the ground or an empty sky. Driving Pattern: The Driving version of our Specter Optics System projects a more concentrated beam to provide visibility at greater distances while still acting as a medium flood light. This ability to act as both a long distance spot and wide area light makes it one of our most popular options. Quality Construction: Rigid’s circuitry were designed in-house to be more powerful, be more efficient, and generate less heat. Their durable cast aluminum housings feature custom, over-sized heat sinks which keep the temperature down and allow our LEDs to run cooler and brighter. They give our housings a high quality powder-coat and finish them off with a custom-molded rubber seal and an unbreakable, scratch resistant lens. Rigid Industries LED lights are engineered to withstand whatever you, the road, or nature can throw at them.

These new lights produce a whopping 6000+ lumens each! New state of the art electronics and technology operating 6 high power LED's in durable CNC machined aluminum housings each delivering tremendous light output with a very modest power level of only 60 Watts on high. Designed for extreme lighting needs on virtually any vehicle. The proprietary Clearwater dimmer controlls the Ericas just like all the other great Clearwater models. You can even use your factory high beam or horn switch to control these lights and take them up to 100% power. The perfect solution for adventure riders around the world. If these lights don't brighten up your path NOTHING WILL! Optional Amber lenses are available.

Install is easy, lights are very bright, some re-aiming of your reflector may be required, but dispersion appears to be very similar to regular DOT-spec Halogens. If $50 seems steep, consider that these have a lifetime guarantee, virtually never burn out, don't generate a LAMPF error, and a regular quality bulb will run you around $20. I'm very happy with mine. For off-road use only, of course. Again, Darryl is very easy to talk to and also a great rep of the big-bike ADV community. He'll help you to decide what you need. Here's the light, running under water. Convinced?

The best Value and Long Range performance available in Auxiliary lighting. Why Optimus? The Long Range Optimus Series are LED Driving Lights, advancing lighting technology to the next level. Utilizing an all new proprietary IRIS Reflector Technology, the Long Range series provides the ultimate focus for long range lighting by producing 693 ft. of usable light from a single 3.5" tall, 10-watt LED. Compared to a standard 55 watt low beam headlight reach of 88 ft. and a standard 65 watt high beam reach of 153 ft. Optimus lights also feature Cyclops Prime Drive technology for integrated thermal management and dimming capabilities. Now available are Filters for the Long Range Round lights, These drastically change the beam pattern and offer a tunable lighting solution, You can run one wide angle filter and one spot, or two wide beam pattern filters. Mix or match for a very tunable system. Amber filters are great for fog or adverse conditions as well making a huge difference with Conspicuity lighting. Beam Spread Options: > The Long Range lights are available in three beam pattern options > 10 degree lights provide the most distance > 20 degree lights offer very good distance and a bit more fill than the 10 degree > The combo kit is one 10 and one 20 degree light, (Use this setup on a Motorcycle with the 20 degree on the right hand side (USA) for an extremely good lighting setup.) > 60 degree lights are also available on special request Choose the light beam pattern and if you want dimming or non dimming harnesses. Wire Harness: Cyclops products have very high quality wire harnesses. Several versions are available to suite your needs. Single lights are sold with connectors and a short wire lead. A wire harness is not included In single light kits The Skene dimmer option offers the user several different operating levels from 0 to 100% in 10% increments. With the Skene unit you can use your existing headlight switch to operate the high and low beam with no other switches required, chose the single pole handle bar switch option if you would like to turn the lights completely off while riding. Key Features >693' of Usable Light from 10-watt LED >Proprietary IRIS Reflector Technology >PWM Integrated Dimming Circuitry >Integrated Electronic Thermal Management (ETM) >Available as 2 Light Set with Wiring Harness Compact, Bold Design Small Doesn't Mean Weak The new Long Range Optimus Prime doesn't sacrifice light output to achieve an ultra-compact housing. Actually the opposite. The Optimus Prime outperforms traditional Halogen Off Road Lighting solutions in both distance and output, all while fitting within a housing that doesn't look bulky and in the way. So put away the huge, awkward looking lights, and get the driving lights that will amaze you every time you light them up. Distance The Single Long Range Optimus Prime throws 1 lux of light 693 feet. For comparison, a motorcycle headlight low beam measures 1 lux at 88 feet, and high beam 1 lux at 153 feet. The Optimus Prime is truly "lighting evolved". Prime Drive The More Powerful and Long Lasting LED The Optimus Prime with Prime Drive drives the LED more efficiently while managing heat levels. This means more light from the LED and a longer lifespan. This is advanced LED technology in action. Electronic Thermal Management ETM monitors the heat output of the LEDs and makes use of integrated Pulse Width Modulation circuitry in order to maintain safe operating temperatures in order to prolong the LED life span to its full 50,000 hour potential. Pulse Width Modulation The Optimus Prime utilizes integrated Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) dimming circuitry to manage heat levels. PWM works by flashing the LED at a frequency faster than the human eye can detect, reducing the time that the LED is operating while still delivering 100% light output. Single lights are supplied with the corresponding male duetch plug with a section of wire, sets come with wire harness selected. Choose from round or square body lights. Internally, they are exactly the same. http://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/dual-sport-bike-lights-led.html

Still in honeymoon phase. Bike absolutely rips. An entirely new, raw experience compared to the R1200GS, and I'm still modding.

Improved in all areas of performance and handling ..... Except - the combination of the lighter flywheel/crankshaft and wet clutch is going to take a looooong time to get used to.

I have to add a full review to add the bike to my garage? Yeah, I'll come back to this. Theme will be: never buy the first year of any model.
