I have an FX in the Netherlands. The headlight is ok. Not brilliant. But fine for dark night offroading and polder riding etc.
That's great to hear (read) the other models don't appeal to me that much. And the FXS fits me better.

The FX has the same headlight as the FXS. So the experience with the lights is simular.

I lowered the front fender on my FX using some 1" spacers. I think I like it better, although I still want a low mount fender. I'll share when I figure something out.

To bad it won't fit on the 19' DS/FX wheels:



why would you put a tight, road fender on a dirt bike? destined for disaster in my opinion. unless you of course never ride off-road?

the bolt pattern for most front fenders is pretty consistent. don't like yours, take it off (4 bolts) and go to your local moto shop and find one you like. chances are the pattern will be the same, or close enough to easily modify.

my $0.02,

[/quote]The DS isn't a dirt bike, more of an allroad like the Multistrada or Tenere. I'm looking for a new fender that can be mounted S style but no success yet, most have a different distance between the bolts. I can adapt it but if I don't have to that will be better.

Hey BertTrack.

With "other models" i meant other than our FX and (mine to be come) FXS ;-)
What is the longest distance you drove with your FX?

130km on one charge doing granny speed. 40km/hr. :) in the summer. Colder temperatures cut it short a lot.
