    My old 2004 R1 and FZR1000 had two headlights that both operated on dipped beam, I would have though as the headlights are so close together that at a distance they look like one headlight ?

    After a few near misses I now ride with main beam on during the day. Low and behold, I now get seen!

    Just read this on their web-sight:-

    "What will we do to reduce your import tax?

    If you have specific requirement on the declare value of the invoice that we will give to DHL when ship your package, please leave message on our website or mail to [email protected], we will do as you required.
    If you have no instruction about the invoice declare value, usually we will declare the item value range from 10USD-200USD which depends on the package weight and package volume, normally we will declare it around 15%-30% base on the actually value, so even duty incurred, the duty can be reduced sharply."

    I mean its a plus for any buyers but not too good for them if/when they get caught

    Do they think HMRC are thick?

    Do they not know there are dedicated peeps at the HMRC who actively scan foreign websites for shat like this and target them for spot checks on their goods when they hit the UK?

    :rolleyes:

    I tried Arthur's idea for twin lights, HID normal light and an LED bulb in the high beam side as its not bright enough to blind people but gives a very similar colour light on the other side
    Seems to work quite well :D
