[QUOTE="johncrispin, post: 2487, member: 53"] [b]Lights,[/b] Pete, No offence taken , but point taken. I bought my flip up clip on yellow filters through the IAM , so interesting what you placed in the links. I have to use the yellow filters, I simply cannot see otherwise with any volume of oncoming traffic, I have no choice.They do help. They do cut down the amount of visibility, but it is the lesser of two evils. In the brief interludes with no opposing traffic in the car I can flip them up. I have had a recent eye check and my specs are A/G coated. I intend to fit a Honda reflector to the VIN, it is cheaper than resilvering (a CB250N unit from M&P) to fit straight into my 6" Miller. This will help me make the most of my 45w halogen, Admittedly I am not going to compete with some idiot with a BMW X5 giving me full blast with his b----dy Xenons, but I can see tolerably well at sensible speeds, for the use I put to the Vin on a summers evening. I rarely travel at night purposely in the winter on the Vin. I have a modern Triumph with huge (halogen) candlepower that does not blind people if I know I am doing any night riding distance.
