2,178 miles - Scotts Tripleclamp and Stabilizer

Along with the lights, I replaced the top tripleclamp with a Scotts clamp and a SUB mount steering stabilizer. The new bar towers are slightly higher and forward than stock... since I'm short, I need the bars back a bit, so I also added some Rox vibration damped risers. Hopefully this will also help with the numbness I get in my right hand on long rides.

2,178 miles - More light!

Installed a pair of Trail Tech MR11 HID lights today. These are compact HID lights with a built-in ballast so there's no extra box to hide anywhere.



Each light emits about 500 lumens, similar to what a standard 55 watt halogen headlight emits, but these lights only consume 13 watts each. So, for just 26 watts you get around 1,000 lumens, like having two more headlights.

Here is the stock headlight:








Here they are with the clear silicon covers:
