I am in the process of putting a pair of PIAA 910 lights on my bike...I remember reading somewhere, about a wiring setup that would allow me to use my 'headlight/brights' switch to toggle driving lights off and on...can anyone help me find this accessory? Thanks!

Pat, what pressures are you running now? The solar panel isn't very heavy, but it adds up. LOL!

Coop, you old dog. I was able to lower the rear tire pressure back down to 42 psi. I was never too comfortable with 85 psi in the rear tire. Looking back, that seems kind of dangerous.

After weeks of thorough testing, I found that tilting the front edge of the solar panel so it is 1.5" higher than the rear provides an aerodynamic lift at speed. Effectively, removing the extra weight from the back tire.

I'm beginning to wonder if the extra power generated by the panel is really worth the extra 400 pounds on the bike.....

:D
