Spooky Tooth Generator light kit review:
Being I leave to go to work on my bike at 5:45am in the morning, go down a .07 mile long 20 degree steep hill usually at 40+ mph, I decided I was getting a little too old to be playing the odds before I lose - badly.
So did some research, and decided to go w/ the Spooky tooth generator light and tail light kit for $35.00. - I hate replacing batteries.
Shipping was great as usual. Opened the box, and got something different than what the pic shows on his website, but not bad. Still had a modern classical look to it - should still look good on the bike.
No instructions, but pretty simple to figure out.
It came w/ two lights -?? - one looked like it could be a driving day light or something, and then it had the regular center light. Got it hooked up, and working well. Decided to turn the switch to get the top light to illuminate. - and did it! - it was brilliant and lit up the road great!! - until - I hit about 10 mph - then it blew out. However, the center light has worked great with no problems. I have no idea what that top light was supposed to do.
The bike vibration seems to have no effect on the light, and I have not had any problems with it since installed. The beam stays very bright up to about 10 mph and then starts to fade out. Still have no idea what that top light was for though.
Overall: - I would rate it an (8).
Visibility is great, but instructions would be really nice.
I had to splice additional wire to reach the install point for the rear tail light.
The mount bracket that came w/ the (product in picture may not be what you receive) - was very cheap compared to what I thought I was getting - much shorter and no fashion style at all.

It's AWESOME!!
I am 6"3" and 3/4" - tall - I was able to ride the bike ok, but the legs tended to jam up quite a bit on the upswing of the pedals
Decided to give it a try. What a difference!!
The small amount of additional angle changed the entire riding experience!
The ride is much more comfortable and I can also get a lot more down push on the pedals now - to get up that 20 degree hill I told you about earlier
Overall rating-- (9)
Simple install.
Cost was $11.00 - and well worth the investment for the change in riding comfort.
Only downside, would have liked chrome instead of polished metal.
If you are tall, I highly recommend you try this.
enjoy the pic's!!
