    Good explanation...Maddog performance is excellent however one more downside of Maddog is the metal body is prone to damage in humid conditions..I would anyway prefer Maddog ov Hjg...As it's Indian made too

    Hi sir, in the situation of falling does it directly affect fog light ever? With crash guard. Assume light fall or something.

    • @WanderingSom
      @WanderingSom  Рік тому +1

      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!

      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.

      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.

    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

    • @ronakbarman3580
      @ronakbarman3580 Рік тому

      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

    • @WanderingSom
      @WanderingSom  Рік тому

      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.

      @WanderingSom  Місяць тому +2

      What is legal ... Aux lights? The law doesn't differentiate between Aux and Fog lights. Hence, if you put a Yellow filter on Aux, it becomes a Fog light.
      IPC is as complicated as it is.

    Not ideal position, lights will easily attract dirt and chances of stone hit is most likely.
    U should fit near headlight

    • @WanderingSom
      @WanderingSom  6 місяців тому

      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!
