On the contrary, it's as important as the front, if this bike is intended to be use everyday, I rather not have to worry about battery let alone having to install/remove them when it start to get dark.
Light sit lower, less blinding, constant instead of flickering mean the person behind me won't get annoyed (other than listening to me) and easier to see.
Most importantly when I want to use a saddlebag, I won't have to worry about blocking the light, or needing to clip on a light on the bag.
That B&M Luxos is awesome! reckon I'll put that on the Tokyo Fixed Dream Machine when I get it repaired.
