Anyone using this bulb yet in their Stryker? Looks like a great upgrade with a safety enhancement....if it make you more visible, it has to be a good thing.

Sounds almost too good to be true. Would be interested as well if anyone else has tried or is using these.

These have a Orange glow?

I am going to buy one and try it. It is at least equivalent to the current set-up. If brighter...and safer....it is a big improvement.

From reading posts in other motorcycle forums, it sounds like users really love them. It has some kind of an orange "backlight" into the reflector of the headlamp, but a very bright, white light out front. Don't know how it works, but I like the concept.

Let us know how it works for you. Looks like a no brainer move to get one if it doeswhat it says it does.

Nice, Id be interested

I've only found nothing but stellar reviews on other forums too. I'd be tempted to try it.

Well, I put the motovision headlight in the Stryker. Initial thoughts - much brighter and better spread on the headlight...whiter. Definitely has an very orange tint that is very visible in the reflector of the light when looking at it from the front. Haven't really got comments yet on how visible the orange is to other cars, but will try to get some feedback tomorrow. Looks good with my Copper Stryker, too.

In my mind, for $17, it has improved my Stryker for the better and could make an impact on my safety. I run my high beam all the time during the day, so brighter is better. Orange and brighter is even better yet.

Just purchased one!!!

 

[mn stryker]

Has anyone tried these yet? Is it worth the purchase?

I just ordered one. It sucks that Amazon is now charging sales tax in Texas.

 

[mn stryker]

I'm afraid you will see more tax on non brick and mortar purchases going forward. There is a big campaign by the big box stores to have all retailers be charged sales tax. The end of the world is coming.

I think the bigger campaign is from the individual states, which all want that unrealized revenue potential. But, it still sucks.

Ordered one last night. We'll see how it does.... If I dont like it, will upgrade to the xtreme vision bulb. Will let ya know.

Do most people ride with High Beams on all the time?

I do during the day.

Does this bulb just plug in or is there other stuff that needs to be installed?

 

[middleagecrisis]

It just plugs in. I have one and think its an improvement. Definitely not as good as a HD bulb, but no ballast to worry about.

I too ride with only high beam during the day.

I do unless it's night time.

I just ride low beam all the time. I tried high beam at night, and WOW does our bikes have a **** of a high beam . I've seen a few bikers around time that ride High Beam at night, but i actually thought it was against the law?
