Hey folks, long time lurker, first time poster (I think... maybe some "hello stuff, but I digress....)
Interesting thread over in ADVRider about a guy on a GS who 'had some conversation" with a CHP regarding aux lighting. Fella ended up with a warning, about what is still unclear. Seems there was a 10 minute conversation and the officer did not cite him.
Made me start thinking, on my GS I've got:
- Stock LED headlamp
- Pair of Denali D4s on the upper crash bar (60% on low, 100% on high)
- Pair of Denali D2s w/Amber lenses down on the forks (60% on low, 100% on high)
I ride out of the Santa Cruz Mountains into San Jose via Bear Creek Road in the pre-dawn and after-dark hours. I shudder at the the thought of riding that road a 05:00 without these.
Here's a pic, on high beams (Denalis at 100%)
So - am I legal?
