I have a 2000 M2, after looking at the dual headlight setups, I think I will just try and find the best headlight for the stock M2 lens and maybe a brighter tail light.

Any recommendations ?

I read of a $70 HID in a Rider's Needs email. Don't know anyone that has tried one. For the tail I think a dual stage LED board would work, with something simple shining down on the plate. My plate is lit red thx to a piece of junk 1157 from SuperbrightLEDs.com. It's lame at best. I added a couple of $5 pods from ebay for more brakelight power

I personally like the look of this setup, but don't know anybody who has used them. Am wondering if they're any good:

The Trucklite LED headlight is a great way to go. I got mine for under $180, a lot to pay, but it makes a world of difference.

I recommend the integrated LED tail light by moto dynamics on eBay for 80.00. I have 4 of these and have not had a single one fail for any reason. Ver bright and they work very well.

They sell them in smoked or clear.

Easy to wire up, though make sure you're battery is fully charged while you're wiring and testing, a weak battery will give you failure indications like brake works but turn signals don't.... Hours of trouble shooting for a weak battery. They work flawlessly with bike running! Good quality construction as well.

They are the exact same design light as Ducati monster and a Moto Guzzi V11 sport and a Moto Guzzi 1100 sport.

I seem to remember the guy who runs XB Lights had a plan to make led rear lights for tubers as well but I've no idea if he actually did.

Don't forget the Ducati options either, early Monster uses the same rear light.
