It may be effective to get a new lens and better bulb. A nice hella unit like this would likely increase output and I could upgrade the wiring to use a higher wattage bulb.

Susquehanna MotorSports - Auto Performance Product

That would keep the nice stock look which I actually like.

We have a klr650 in the shop that looks like would be seen very well. The guy bought rolls of that reflective tape that the city work trucks use on their bumpers. But this guy used it pretty much like pin striping and graphices. Used it to follow body lines and fill areas in. Looks pretty good and effective. I will try to snap a pic of it tomarrow. Its a pretty cool idea. I think you can buy it in diff colors too.

I know you can buy it in sheets or rolls too so yea, you can have the graphic places make you some cool stuff. Like do all your kawasaki logos in reflective stuff! I probably need to do some to mine too. As long as it looked freakin cool!
