Baja designs squadron sport wide beam in center denali D3 on the outside
How would you compare the output of the Denali's to the BD? I get that they are different patterns, but I always go back and forth if I should upgrade to the BD or Denali's

Well they are both new On a new bikeand I don't ride much at night. Just trying to make sure the idiots and cars see me during the day. I know that denali's are bright as hell. I don't think I will be able to ride with either of them at night I will blind people. I have to do some more checking it out at night. I was going to get the Baja designs SAE fog light road legal lights and I think I wish I would have bought those instead of the squadrons so I could leave them on at night. Here sometime soon maybe I will take some pictures at night Of the lights and what the patterns look like.

Yeah, I really like the idea of the SAE fogs that you can leave on at 100% brightness 100% of the time.

On Sat I installed a set of the Givi engine guards on my ST1200. I liked these as they are not too big and still provide good coverage. It took me about an hour and a quarter to install. I'm very happy the way they turned out and look on the bike.

I have the givi. Welds look like a blind person did it. I'll swap em when I get more serious. I have their skid too. Good enough to get you in the game. Def saved it twice.20231119_090932.jpg

for those who have alt rider or those who are lucky enough to get a set .... you can remove rightside cover without removing the upper and you can remove replace battery without removal or loosening the alt rider bars ... just installed a new battery a few months ago , just a Allen wrench to remove side cover ...

Don't know, I have givi skid also. Have not tested Ukrainian bars yet but really like them. Let me know if you need detailed pics of mounting points at front of engine or? I had bought givi bars, sent them back didn't fit right, looked like they were welded by Stevie Wonder.

Yeah the welds are complete trash lol. Cheap tho. Better then nothing option.

I like your bars.

Yeah can I see where they mount up behind the wheel? Curious if they would work with acd.
