1290 - Front fog/spots fitted.

Well...be seen be safe and all that.

Having looked hard at Denali D4 lights at £250 (KTM lights £450! ) I've opted for some of the lights I fitted to my offroady for now. Super cheap. They swivel on a ball joint and it's simple to bend the arm to the angle you need as well. Installation options are many.

Removing the headlight is a right pain the first time round, but now I know the deal it's a 10 minute job. Behind the headlight are two coiled up 12v 10A power feeds that come on with the ignition - I'm guessing these are the feeds to the KTM optional lights - at £450...did I mention that? Stupid. Connected all 4 lights to one of those feeds. The good bit is the ball joint arrangement as you can adjust where you want the beam exacto in a jiffy.

On a slow boat from China are a pair of Denali D4 type lights at £10:82 pair. These will get their own switch as I'm guessing they'll irritate oncoming traffic a tad.

This type of lighting seems to divide opinion, but even if you hate them, and I certainly don't, you did click this link didn't you

Not sure anyone seems that interested in this thread but just in case I’m happy to post some pics of the Denali-esque lights that have arrived in days not weeks.

Quality is excellent! They won’t be Denali will they, but they’re so cheap I won’t worry too much if they fall off or get nicked.

Solid aluminium cast case (I think) nicely painted. Cables (as always) too short to be useful (40cm inc tails) and the lights are sealed so no replacing them with longer ones.

Light beam is nicely diffused. More fog than spot I think. Will see when it goes dark and maybe post a pic.

Yep looks good and gives plenty of light but as you say these type are usually flood rather than spots which is fine unless there is traffic coming in the opposite direction.
When I had the DR400 I installed a couple of these from Aliexpress in spot format which provided good light for a small bike

These are good quality mounts recommended from a member here.I use them on my 1200GS

Great. They look perfect. More expensive than the lights!
