Is there a brighter/better headlight available... For those dusk/dawn moments?

Kevlar jeans: are they worth the price? Any good or affordable ones in the US? Here they seem to average 3-400$

Since I put my 240 tire on, my speedometer seems to be out a whopping 20kms!!

Thx for any input

I'm happy with the light since moving to HID...nothing to question here.

Kevlar jeans worth it...well its like insurance if you never need em then its a waste..but the one time you do well no need to explain...think I picked up some from draggin jeans and always been happy with em...use them on long hauls and cooler months.

I don't care about gas mileage I care about performance...going to the 240 put my gauge spot on.

is it a true motorcycle hid, or is it a car... aka huge? link plz

Its a motorcycle hid...lots to choose from...slimline balast...was givin to me by a friend so no link...I think its speedmetal. I just look for the ones that give you hi lo beams, but yes I prefer the light...confess I don't ride a ton at night due to some close calls I've had with deer, but hid is my preference.
