QUOTE(owen07 @ Jul 29 2013, 06:17 PM) the headlight is more of the "to-be-seen" type. riding in well-lit area and is fine.the taillight bracket is bulky. will get in the way of ur thighs. actually with rm149, u can get an ultrafire headlight from bbs and a skully blinker. or maybe a knog blinker. |

yes something like that. but the it drains battery real fast. so again, depends on what u want really. what do u want to use the light for? to-be-seen OR to-see?

if want to be seen, u can even use white blinkers like skully or knog. or some really cheap white blinkers from bbs. or that cateye works fine. i use cateye uno.
but don't use those similar to knog beetle or knog bullfrog. This post has been edited by miaopurr: Jul 29 2013, 10:45 PM |

QUOTE(owen07 @ Jul 29 2013, 06:17 PM) If my memory serve me right, these two below cost less than RM130. That's was 6 months ago when i last inquiry. anyway, it's all depends on your location, availability of time. no point drive all the way to Batu Caves for these 2 items bcoz it's cheaper. ![]() ![]() |

with the price paid for those cateyes, better go with other options. more compact and robust and still look good if left on the handlebar. for the same price. like i explained earlier
