Review of LoneRider Moto Lights on a BMW R1300GS
As a long-time rider, I’ve always been on the lookout for upgrades that improve safety and visibility, especially when navigating those dark, remote roads. After installing the LoneRider Moto Lights on my BMW R1300GS, I can confidently say these lights have exceeded my expectations in every way.
The installation process was straightforward, even for a relatively non-technical rider like me. The lights come with a clean, well-organized wiring kit, and the instructions were clear enough to get everything mounted without any hiccups. The mount itself is sturdy, fitting seamlessly into the front of the bike, and the wiring runs neatly under the bodywork, without any risk of getting snagged. I’d rate the installation experience a solid 9/10.
When it comes to lighting performance, the LoneRider Moto Lights really shine (pun intended). On the road, they provide a bright, wide, and evenly distributed beam that significantly enhances nighttime visibility. The light is not overly harsh, which prevents blinding oncoming traffic, but it’s more than enough to illuminate the road ahead, especially in those tricky, dark corners or when riding off-road.
The BMW R1300GS already has decent stock headlights, but these auxiliary lights make a world of difference. Whether you’re riding at night or in low-visibility conditions like fog or rain, these lights enhance your field of vision and help other drivers spot you from a distance.
Additionally, the Moto Lights come with multiple brightness settings, which can be adjusted based on your needs. Whether you’re on a casual evening ride or tackling a long-distance trip, the ability to tweak the intensity of the lights is a game changer.
LoneRider has a reputation for building rugged and reliable products, and the Moto Lights are no exception. They are built to withstand harsh conditions, from rain to dirt and dust. I’ve ridden through some tough weather, and these lights have held up without showing any signs of wear. The aluminum housing and sealed lenses ensure that they remain intact and functional despite being exposed to the elements.
A nice touch is how sleek and modern the design looks on the BMW R1300GS. The lights don’t look bulky or out of place; they complement the bike’s aggressive yet refined look. The compact design is unobtrusive but still makes a noticeable difference in terms of lighting power.
At the higher end of the price spectrum, these lights might seem like an investment, but the quality, performance, and improved safety they provide make them well worth the cost. If you’re serious about enhancing your ride’s visibility and night-time capabilities, the LoneRider Moto Lights are a solid choice.
If you’re looking for a high-quality lighting solution to complement your BMW R1300GS, the LoneRider Moto Lights are an excellent choice. They offer superb performance, exceptional durability, and an easy installation process. These lights make night riding safer and more enjoyable, and the added bonus of better visibility in low-light conditions is invaluable. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this upgrade and would highly recommend it to fellow GS owners looking to improve their bike’s lighting system.
Rating: 9.5/10
The black and blue salad with raspberry vinaigrette was a recent favorite, but the French onion soup, fish & chips, and sandwich options make it tough to decide each visit. We still need to try the chocolate mousse with Bailey’s Irish Cream and the apple crisp — and we absolutely will report back.
Crosstown’s broad menu and relaxed atmosphere make it a classic neighborhood gathering spot.
Chatham Street Wine Market offers a great rotating selection of bottles and wines by the glass in a cozy downtown Cary setting.
With curated global selections and regular tastings, it’s a go-to for discovering something new — whether you’re looking for a casual glass or a bottle for a dinner party.
Bombshell Beer Company in nearby Holly Springs is another favorite.
There’s always a strong seasonal lineup alongside dependable favorites. We were genuinely sad when Strawberries & Cream was discontinued. Thankfully, Hipster Handshake Wheat (with rotating flavors) and Lady in Red remain regular orders for us.
As a woman-owned brewery with strong local distribution, Bombshell has carved out a respected place in the Triangle craft beer scene.
