  1. I have a set of their lights and am pleased with them. they have been installed for a couple years with no issues. I have them wired to the headlights so they are only on once the bike is running and if I turn the brights on, they go to the brighter setting. I just looked at the links, I have the big square ones that have low and high settings. I have looked at the ones you linked and think they will work very well. I chose the ones I have because I do ride at night enough to want/need brighter lights.
  2. I had just under 16k miles when I changed the sprockets and chain. the sprockets actually looked alright, I was just told from multiple people that if I change the chain then change the sprockets at the same time. I was on a high mileage road trip and the day before I left, to go home, we noticed the chain was extremely loose. we ran out and got it tightened at a shop and he suggested that I change out everything. the next day when I got home, after about 4-500 miles, the chain was just as loose. I actually just got done going through the lines to make sure there was nothing weird and bled the brakes again, the feel in the controls feels better but I have not ridden it yet. I really do need to change the pads, but they are the factory ones right now. I will probably change them out soon.
  3. I have the hornet x2 and the rf1200. the rf1200 is way more aero dynamic but I love the beak. the 20s works and installs just fine on both helmets. on a road trip I went through some rain and found that turning my head complete right and left deflects the water well while going freeway speeds rather then using the squeegee on my glove. changing the visor out on the rf is way quicker then the x2 so if I know i'm going to be out late then I wear the rf so I can switch to the clear visor quicker. the x2 is matte black and the rf is white.
