Our lights are all white ... we rode with Joe Quinones yesterday and he solved the mystery: with the bumpy roads (or maybe just the usual :spyder2: vibration) it looks like we're flashing our bright lights at folks when we're riding. :roflblack:
That's exactly what happened, Mike. Joe told us it looked like we were flashing the lights as we rode when we met him yesterday for a ride. No one else we've been on rides with has ever told us that, though...maybe it's the roads up here that do it! We recently changed to 2011 RT shocks and a different sway bar. Don't know if that was a factor or not. Wouldn't think that would change the vibration but I'm not an expert on mechanical/technical :spyder2: things. Hope you had a great ride home. It was nice meeting you at Whiteface. We are having an absolute blast exploring new states...over 5500 miles on our :spyder2: since we left home in mid-June.:clap: We're heading to NJ today...planning on checking out Philly, etc. if there aren't any thunderstorms that way. We will be adding NJ to our visited states map soon!
Two-up actually raises the aim of the headlights, instead of increasing "jiggling". This "problem" is caused by the use of projector lens headlights on the Spyder. These headlights have a relatively narrow beam, so they appear to go on and off as the narrow beam poiunts more or less at the viewer's eyes. Aiming your headlights a bit lower, and being sure that the seat is loaded with a rider's weight or a 200 pound sandbag when aiming the lights, will help reduce this effect. Using high beams in the daytime will also minimize it.
