- Introducing Maddog Alpha, a top-tier auxiliary lighting solution that stands out in the market for its exceptional quality. What sets it apart is the comprehensive package it offers, including essential accessories like switches, wires, harnesses, relays, and more, ensuring a complete and safe setup.
While this video highlights the impressive features of Maddog Alpha lights, it also delves into some unfortunate experiences I encountered. I'll be sharing the challenges I faced with the lighting system on my Jazba - the Interceptor 650, shedding light on the issues that arose.
Furthermore, this video provides valuable insights into various crucial aspects of auxiliary lights on motorcycles. We briefly touch upon the legal considerations, installation tips, and performance-related matters that are essential for a comprehensive understanding.

Nice Detailed Video 😊
Glad you liked it!
Love the video and the info you gave! I was really looking for this info, thanks again! I have a question though, would like to know from where you have purchased the new clamp on which you have put Alpha?
Hello there, I got both the lights and the mounts from Bikeaholic, Noida.
Super precious
Nice info
Thanks
Hi Som,
Where did you get hoding brackets for light's and if possible can you give cost of lights.
@Bikeaholic, Noida
HI Som want to ask you if changing a air filter ( eg KnN ) effect or enhance the performance of the bike if your silencer is stock. Is it worth to change ,does the bike feel more smooth to ride. TIA
There will be a little difference, but I would suggest just cleaning your stock air filter at regular intervals, and changing it when the manual tells you to
Absolutely Sanjay, they make a difference. Question is about the cost vs value equation. Does really really make a significant difference? I wonder. No one has ever mathematically measured it to prove the idea.
Hence, I am still on stock.
Hi sir, in the situation of falling does it directly affect fog light ever? With crash guard. Assume light fall or something.
Hello Abhay,
That's a good ask. The answer is no. Incase of a fall, there's no impact on the lights as the Crash Guard and the Handlebar are extended enough to guard the lights.
Hope that answers you query.
If you have any other queries, please do reach out.
Cheers!
@@WanderingSom thank you so much for your answer.
@@abhaypatil5179 its a pleasure.
Sir which model prospec windscreen extender u used ?
It's referred as the extender for Himalayan 450 ... don't know it has a specific name.
I might not use it, and might sell. If interested, lemme know.
Does these alpha lights create low battery warning or stress warning even when the engine is running for a while?
Even I have the same question. I don't know if it's the battery or the mad dogs or some electrical issue in the bike
None whatsoever, provided you have the proper harnessing done along with a dedicated relay. I have not experienced any issues as I have used it quite a bit during my Ladakh Dobara.
I went with deltas as I heard that 60 watts is the legal limit, does the job and bright enough
Delta is also very good.
Did you find the Maddog Scout-X inadequate for your needs?
ScoutX does 60% of the job very well. It's good for city and similar conditions. In hilly and highway conditions, the additional lighting is quite helpful and is fulfilled by Alpha.
Would be helpful if shared how to adjust aux light angle

Battery drain issue ?
Last night on way to Chandigarh, I used them wherever the street lights were not there. No impact on the battery. Howwver, once while honking, there was a minor dip in its sound.
Rest all good.
Bhi itna gyan🥹
Hopefully helpful for you 🙂
Nahe bhai..poora jhel nahe paya🥲 installments may dekh lunga😁
@@faizsaeed9753 good to know ... all the best.
Haha law is itself foggy😂
Indeed!
Not ideal position, lights will easily attract dirt and chances of stone hit is most likely.
U should fit near headlight
I completely agree with you regarding lights getting dirty or a stone hitting the glass.
Look at it from a practical usability perspective. First, if the light is to be used as a fog lamp, it cannot go higher than 24" from the ground; otherwise, it is not effective. Second, the auxiliary lamps are very powerful, and when placed next to the headlight, the beam goes almost parallel to the ground, adversely affecting oncoming traffic. Lastly, according to the law, you can only put a fog light on your vehicle, not an auxiliary light. And fog lamps need to be closer to the ground (refer to the first point).
Bearing all the above in mind, I concluded on the position of the lights.
I hope I am able to provide a proper response.
Cheers!
@@WanderingSom u can adjust Aux focus in any case. Aux should be just below Headlamp and forward position for better projection
Dude Im bot sure why you are putting you logo running in every 30 seconds. it's really very irritating.
Hello Sanjay, thanks for your feedback, it was a new transition style. I get it that you didn't like it.
I am sure it was there every 30 seconds, that got pushed a bit too far 😳.
Thanks once again for watching and sharing your feedback. Appreciate it.
