The tall windshield also protects the rider from any wind disturbances while riding. However, two projector lamps are not enough to light up the trails at night. That’s why there are two auxiliary lamps mounted on tank pannier of the bike too. The details are not available but from the pictures, we can make out that the auxiliary lamps are also projector lamps.
