1. Mounting:
The mounting clamp has removeable rubber inserts so supposedly you can fit it on larger handlebars.
2. Adjustment
The only adjustment is vertical which is made my adjusting the mounting clamp. The two lights cannot be adjusted independantly and there is no horizontal adjustment at all.
3. Light performance
The set comes with a 20w and a 10w halogen and each light can be switched on seperately. Turning both lights on puts out a lot of light and would certainly be adequate for most nighttime riding but I didn't find them to be exceptional. Both lights are spot. It would have been nice if they had made the 20w a spot and the 10w a flood, but such is not the case.
4. Battery + Wiring
The wiring was the one thing that really stood out on these lights. It seems really sturdy and top notch.
Well... I for one like the ViewPoint EVO Dual Headlights from Performance.
The only thing I dislike is the point where the lights mount to the plastic "main" mount on the bars.
As far as the Mounting Clamp not fitting well... it tells ya to remove the rubber inserts if you need to.
I also like the "spot" lights... lets me ride a wee bit faster. I ride with just the 10w 95% of the time, I turn on the other (20w) when there is a lot of traffic or when conditions call for it. They are plenty bright for me.
....Oh yeah... mine are adjustable side to side... but I keep them tight, cause they are set
One thing about Performance... you can take them back.
