I had a pair on the NC750x last winter. IMHO they are better on low power than high (add illumination to a crap dipped headlight) as they aren't so offensive to oncoming vehicles. Remember if you stall, or turn the bike off for short periods the bike (fuel stops for instance) they will change function. I lost count of the amount of time cars cleared the way for me out of the filling station..... until I realised the flashing almost-blue lights on the front of the bike... Beware

Another issue similar to that above, they would sometimes go out-of-sync, one on one mode, the other on another mode.

Removing the chip returns the lights to high power only, which is fine if you want that, and to be honest it's probably the best thing to do with these to avoid the problems.

Quality wise, they were falling to bits by the end of the salt season.

I'm with Pete on the Vision-X lights though, over priced and mine have just fell apart after out little trip around the Isles (so I'm in the market for some new ones)

It's an old picture, but I have attached the plans to build and install the brackets.
