Would it be possible to bolt the light directly to where the the top bracket fastener is, or is there nothing substantial at the back of it?
That would be very helpful if you would do that. Drilling the fairing referred to the wires. The brackets I bought use the existing mounting points for the fairings. Actually the lights are in a similar position to the Wunderlich lights for the XR on NN's site.
Thanks for that. My brackets stick out a bit so if you can modify yours to tuck the lights in tighter to the fairing then I may swap over to yours.

Hi Mark
For me that looks much better.
Still wide so as to give good visibility but now looking as if they are meant to be there.
Good job.
I’d agree- need to be closer together.Sorry Mark but it doesn't work for me.
I guess fixing within the width of the fairing is difficult? Indicator level. Or under the headlight area?

Agree with Micky’s post.Even more than the revised ones?

Agree with Micky’s post.
The problem with this Mark is the farkled up look of the S1000XR leans more to sporty than adventure, so owners are more focussed on the look than the usability of additional lights..
For me (and I suspect many other owners) the aesthetics just don't work.
Totally agree - it wasn’t anything I’ve been keen to do as it’s not a GS, I’ve been responding to a customer request.
I’ve been surprised, however, by the XR owners who have commented on the poor lighting and asking for a solution for mounting brackets. There seems to be a market for them.
I guess there’s people out there (with respected opinions of course) who weigh visibility over aesthetics- I can understand this.
Sadly it’s not a bike that you can easily hang things off!
