Re: best headlight?

I made the switch to an Acerbis rectangular headlight a while ago.The lithle lights look great but they are not as bright.I had to make an extension between the fork straps and the headlight for extra clearance.For the brake hoses,cables and wiring.I used clear lexan to build the plates.Easy to make and extra safe in crash.I just ziptied my cluster and holds perfect.When crashing evrything is loose and pops off.Havant broken anything yet.Good luck with your project.
