Reflective stuff is good, however I went a step further and added accent lights. I also changed my headlight to the blue light which really helps, especially if you have to ride in the rain at night.
My next step is changing my taillight and turn signals to the LEDs which are a lot brighter.  |
You will have to change the flasher too if you go to LED bulbs in the signals. The OEM flasher works on a specific load. Led's will not give it the load to operate properly.
Also, if I was to do a lot of night riding on a GZ I would add a smaller driving light to the front somewhere. My reasoning is for safety. Just imagine the headlight suddenly going out and leaving you in darkness. A small lower power driving light would keep you oriented in the right direction while you flip the headlight to the other beam. The GZ can power 2 20 watt MR-11 halogen bulbs which will be more than adequate in cases of emergency. Yah, I know I sound paranoid.
