Before the light bars, the race wins and the Scientists of Lighting, there was one dirt bike that needed to be street legal. Back in 1992, Alan Roach built his first light in a San Diego garage so his Honda XR600 could legally get to the trailhead. That simple need became the beginning of Baja Designs. The lights that followed found their way onto race trucks and bikes competing - and winning - at events like the Baja 1000. Race teams began calling the engineers responsible for designing and aiming their lighting the Scientists of Lighting, and the name stuck. More than 30 years later, that same race-proven lighting is available right here through Baja Designs Australia, with local stock, local warranty and a team you can actually call here at home. This rig is a pretty good example of what the Baja Designs name has grown into.
