Bike Update – New Accessories

2 months ago, I sent the bike in for the ESA campaign due to defective rear suspension. And as a result of that, I was entitled of about RM5000 worth of accessories. Earlier this morning, I sent the bike back at Auto Bavaria to fixed some of the accessories that has arrived (which is the spotlight and the cylinder guard).

I like having spotlight on my bike because I wanted to ensure that oncoming traffic knows that a big bike is coming. Two big spotlights usually has a viewing distance that quite far. I must say that the LED spotlight from BMW is not as bright as I thought (I had Denali in my previous bike), but it is good enough.

The photo above is taken in the Glenmarie workshop. Showing one the mechanics fitting the spotlight (yes I shouldn’t be in the workshop).

The photo below shows the Auxiliary headlight that was installed.

Here is the result of the new light. Sorry for the lousy quality of photo!

I will try to ride in low light tomorrow and see the effect of the LED headlight, but I guess I need to see if I can wake up. It’s already 12.32am and I am still wide awake, thanks to the 3 hours sleep I had earlier today (oops maybe it’s 11am).
