Blurdy hell that was quick! Not sure how the seat is doing, it's been in Wales for a while........the all black one is spot on tho' Now have new wheels too, and a couple of other bits @ a sprayer mates in Taunton
P.S. Do you run them with High beam, low beam or independantly?

As far as my lower mounted aux lights go the answer to all the above is yes.
I have a relay linking them into high beam. In parallel I have an auto-switch from the indicator cancel switch linked into another relay so that I can run them independently from high beam if I want to. While the lights can be quite dazzling at night when used with low beam in traffic, they are ideal in the day giving you a real presence on the road.

I've actually changed my lights since that pic was taken, but still have 4 extra lights. They are configured as follows:
Dip beam - 2x fog lights (the lower ones) + normal dipped headlight
Main Beam - 2x spot lights (the upper ones) + normal main beam
I also have the fog lights independently switched (via an Autoswitch) so that I can revert to normal dipped beam in case I get pulled by a particularly pedantic John Q Law (which hasn't happened yet). Gazza sent me a wiring diagram showing how to achieve this set up (I really didn't want to be riding with 6 lights on) and I can post it if you need it.

Does your alternator manage to keep up when you have all your lights on the go? I thought about adding some more, but with the heated grips, gps etc, I was worried that it would consume more power than the alternator could replenish, so I have stopped at just one eyeball light so far.
No problem. The Adv comes with the uprated alternator as standard. With the light configuration I've been running, you're using a maximum of 110w over the original design spec. I've run with this light setup plus, occasionally, heated grips and waistcoat (as well as Malky's 'Widetail' LEDs & a Touratech aux stop & tail light) for 20k miles without any adverse effect on the bike.
