Sorry to hear that mate.
Looks alot better when its on becouse its red if you know what i mean.
problem is that you have to chose a light with alot of L.E.D'S in them to make the light bright behind the lense. one line is no good for running/brake lights, and are not normally looked upon kindly by the police.
when you veiw the bike from the normal more elevated angle you can hardly see it, which works well.
any suggest on another light i can try would be nice. have try'd new R1 light but to wide.
thanks for input.
