Where are yours going on the bike? I've got to make an adjustment to mine as they want to fail it on the mot as it impacts my steering (it actually barely touches the lights on full lock but they're fussy. Might just turn them sideways for the mot
Mine will be pretty much where the oem fogs go but a little lower as there's plenty of fork clearance there, that's the plan so far. Sounds like yours should be easy to just tweak out of the way enough to satisfy the MOT guy.
I thought I would put the AUX lights stuff in here rather than start a new thread so here goes... I finally got all the bit's together and a couple of days off to get it done. A pair of LED lights Pair of Ducati foglight brackets (+a can of 'rustoleum' satin black) Some wire, I had some 11A rated thin wall stuff in the empire of clutter (garage) A pair of connectors to go in the rear fuse box +5a fuse to fit JST connector set to fit the sat-nav power supply A 20A micro relay from Eastern beaver (that gave the postie a laugh) and a crap-tacular Chinese bar mounted rocker switch Sorry for the lack of progress pictures, I was mainly just getting on with it or being sidetracked by corroded bolts and threads, the tap and die set was very handy to have and plenty of ACF corrosion block grease was used on re-assembly. Firstly I stripped the front of the bike, I wanted the tank off to route the wiring neatly and struggled a bit with that, then it was time to have a coffee and get on with it. Got the brackets out, eurgh, sat them in front of the heater for a bit then attacked them with the satin black.. Better.... Part numbers if anyone want's them, http://imageshack.com/a/img921/7223/D46wEV.jpg Then I ran the wiring from the fuse box to the 2 relays near the front fuse box, to add a fuse to the rear fusebox I used these but they need the tang removing from the back and about 1 mm removing from the lower edge of the square section, not perfect but perfectly workable. I also made a Y lead for the Sat-nav connection, this powers the switch to trigger the relay, the lights will use the fused power supply from the battery +ve (the JST connectors are rated at 3A, my lights draw 2A each and I don't want stuff getting all melty. I had to move the coolant pipe from the radiator to the header tank as it wanted to go through the foglight bracket, you can also see the transformer for one of the LED high beams... And one of the little alloy brackets that I made to fit my chosen lights. It all clears, so put it back together and install the Navhalter.. Then scratch my head/nuts/ass/all because they don't work, I checked and re-checked all the wiring then prized the switch out and shorted the contacts, 'Click' bugger me, they're bright. So tonight I replaced the switch and sealed this one with silicone grease, the old one had rusty contacts in it. I will re-align the right one and hopefully get out after dark soon to get them aimed and get some video.
Your handlebar switch should tuck upside down, between the mirror and the LH switch. Looks a bit nicer there.
I will need to move the mirror mount in a bit to do that and replace the cheese spec cross head screws with stainless capheads, i have already identified the thread as M4 so just need to pop in to bapp bolts after the bank holiday... I havent ridden the bike yet but i am already looking for some thicker metal for the mounting plates, 1x40mm aluminium bar was what i had but they are quite 'springy'. Perfectly adequate to prototype the part though.
Mine bounce around quite a lot when the speed climbs and the roads get poor. They certainly light up the road better though.
After todays daytime ride, they're F-in bright and wobble like jelly. I will order some 3mm stainless, should be more rigid and not rust (I found some 2mm steel but that can rust so I may as well get stainless).
Today I did do, the new brackets, that 304 Stainless is a sod to work with but I got there with the help of a 500W grinder and flap disc. They're hung in a box letting the paint dry overnight and will be fitted after work tomorrow... Pics... Both were bolted together for final shaping and should be a little less jelly like... Then I will get some night footage.
Not this thread back again? Well there is a reason and to say that I am slightly miffed is an understatement... The left spotlight had developed a speed wobble so today I decided to pull the fairing off and tighten the bolts, they must have vibrated loose, right? Nope, Genuine parts... I will be getting that one re-welded by someone who understands weld penetration.
