Let there be light ...

[(RIP) Tunneruk]

These lights (amongst others) are new to the Durite range for 2013 so I decided to trial fit a pair to try them out.

They're a substancial bit of kit, Cast alloy bodies and bulletproof polycarbonate lenses, weighty in the hand and as with all Durite kit; beautifully made.
Sturdy stainless steel mounting hardware with M10 mounting bolts comes as standard.

I had a pair of the excellent Cree 10w single LED spots fitted previously but standing back and looking at my KTM these seem to fit the look of the bike better. If they'd been hanging from a mounting bracket or exposed above boxer cylinders the look might have been different. But, where they're mounted on my KTM I think they look superb!

They're not as focused as a dedicated spot light but instead emit a really decent edgeless beam and increase on-coming visibility greatly.

For comparison, the headlight in my KTM is fitted with a Les Wassall 55w HID

At £89.99 per pair they're a load of bang for the buck!

Hmmmmm!!!!.......I wonder where they might fit and how they would look on a 2010RT?

Your motorcycle is a credit to you Sir, and the lights look superb

Hmmm indeed, there's not a lot of space under there for a big ol pair of lights.

If you had engine bars fitted there's a chance they's slide in there somewhere!

Cheers fella!

I stood back after I'd fitted them and there was no going back!

Yeah absolutely, they'll bolt up in any direction, they're super solid!

Edit - Apologies for my mistake guys, the price is £89.99. I have amended the original post

How much light do they throw down the road and what sort of beam?

They're floods.

They're not as focused as a spot light but more direct than a fog light.

They throw a decent amount of light down the road

Is it possible to LED lights that give a spot output? Im looking for some to work with the 2 candle power main beam on a 1200GS

Blimey, it hurts my eyes to look at the pictures!

Those look excellent and the price is very tempting.

I really like these so I hope the following is not a stupid question....

Do these come with a separate weather proof switch that mounts on the handlebars?

And, if so have you a piccie of the aforementioned switch on your bike?

Is the current fad for loads of spot lights on 'adventure' bikes the modern equivalent of the Mods blinging up their scooters in the 60s with a gazillion mirrors?
