Anyone tried them out:

I was thinking of using them on my R1150RT using the PIAA light mount bracket.

Thanks

I've got a set of their PIAA 1100x rip-offs, with 50 watt G4 type halogen bulbs. Bought them from Martin Fabrications along with their mounts. They are predictably cheap but have held up well over the past year (about 12K miles).

I'd prefer a driving light with an H3 bulb. The G4 bulbs are bright but don't have much range - they're really more of a flood light.

I keep thinking I'll replace them with the PIAA 1100 proprietary bulbs, but the PIAAs are so darn pricey.

If you buy these post an evaluation. They don't seem to tell what kind of bulb they use but they appear to H3s.

HELLA FF50s are the way to go. Small, very bright and not too expensive.

The Hellas look like a great product - especially for the price.

At this point though I want to use the Martin Fabrication brackets - they mount up nicely on my 1100RT and I already own them. Unfortunately they limit my lighting choices to something that mounts up like the PIAAS and is preferably round.

I figure I'll eventually stumble across something I'll like and until then the Xtremes will do. Also, the Xtremes cost about the same as a single PIAA bulb.

How did you mount them?

I've had them on several bikes now. Best bang for the $$ - they are brighter (side by side) than many HID auxiliary lights, and WAY less expensive.

On my 1150RT I used a Martin Fab. mount under the oil cooler.

On my 1200RT I put on the Touratech crash bars and lights are mounted on them.
