      You can get cheap Volga spotlamps for around 100 bucks each, fitting will take the total cost upto 150. I had a similar arrangement on my CBZ, but only one lamp. Make sure this is done by a good mechanic, else things can get worse rather than better.

      A good option would be fitting a single 55W H3 bulb in a larger dome below your headlight and using it as an alternative for the same. Better still, get a 35W HID bulb fitted in the spotlamp. Operating (35+35)W at a time would be a killer, let alone (35+55)W. Test with your current battery for some time (7AH I believe), else upgrade to Pulsars' 9AH in some time. It might require some work for mounting in the existing bracket. Charging rate can be improved only via coil rewinding, but I would stay away if I were you.

        Foglamp Installation.

        Do not attach the foglamps to the battery, it'll drain it badly...

        Fit them to the dynamo directly, and try using them as an alternate for the headlamp....it'll give a brighter light....

          two fog lights? are you doing this for visibility to others ( so that they can see you ) or for better visibility yourself ( so that you can see the road better )?

          One fog, generally suffices. What you can do is install a single beam ( get generic ones from local shops ), but install a good quality bulb in it ( osram or philips ). Wire it to the battery and dont forget to install a fuse.

          But run it only during crusing, and the alternator will take the load. Else it will drain the battery.

          I have done something similar on my bullet, but im sure the battery capacity of the bullet is higher, and im running a AutoPal Night Crasher on the right leg guard. Its running a 55W bulb, but i use it only when the bike is running, or when the fog is really really bad, and i need to see the kerb for guidance.

            dude, remember that your bike produces power for only one lamp as stock. two lamps will divide the power and give lower output.

            you need to upgrade the coil for sure, for this set up.
            We wouldn't need a forum if we all had same opinions, same thoughts, and same bikes..... Enjoy the difference.
