If you do not ride at night, almost anything would do. Wallmart has inexpensive lights. Hyperlights makes a more expensive set of LED day-time running lights.

For myself, I do ride at night and I always want to be seen so I have a HID H4 conversion plus HID TrailTech lights under the oil cooler. On my older motorcycle, I used a headlight modulator, but that may be a can of worms (subject wise) you don't want to get in to.

The lights are on a modified Ezy-Mount. I drilled out the pressed in fitting to mount the PIAAs and inserted the mounting stud in and tightend the nuts on the stud. Works quite well. Here's a pictue fo the lights in action in a dim warehouse (I used the warehouse wall to align them). I can take a close up of the lights on the motorcycle if you need one.

There are a lot of options, but the MotoLights are nice! :clap

The caliper mounts install easily.

If you just want them for visbility,get a pair of the Hella optilux. Susquehanna motorsports has a lot of them on clearance for $20.I just got a few sets and they seem to be a lot nicer than the Wally specials.
