Like the title says, my mate found some time to wire these up for me. It took him a few hours but he prides himself on doing a good job which he did plus we sank a few beers so all in all a good day!!
We fitted a peak moto switch on the handlebars so I can turn them if required but have so far kept them on.
Might be putting a curse on myself here but standing traffic has certainly noticed me and some have even moved over :eek:
The pics don't really show how bright they are due to the flash on the camera and the beam is now higher up as I set them low to start with. Anyway heres some pics.

I saw a set of the TT ones fitted to a grey 12GS recently. Looked the dogs danglies with their alloy covers and all. Think I'll go for a set of them with the switch used here. :thumb
 
Got one myself and it's very good, but the other day found another cheaper, more solid but red/black so it don't quite look o/e.
But if anyone interested it looks like a Honda engine cut switch with a red rocker off/on, about £14 if I remember correct.
Could get a picture if any interest :D
 
You haven't completed the job!

You need to tie wrap the end cover, to make sure it doesn't come off, & possibly to keep any moisture out.

Great job. What about a wee rubber cap over the nut and bolt on the bracket, just to finish it of :thumb

Going to the nuts and bolts shop in the morning to find a smaller bolt with rounded head to finish off the look! Should have done that in the first place.
Cheers Stuart :beerjug:
 
Just to show

I am not a bodger. :rolleyes:
Cable tie and new bolt fitted. Looks better. :thumb

Meestah Rover,

Just completed a very similar looking intall on my 12. To save buying a nice wee domed bolt, I mounted a pair of Hella FF50's on the top.

One small observation on your install - if I've looked at the pictures properly it would seem that the two wires have been inserted fom the side, down that short tube-thingy?

My understanding of the Hella instructions is that the two wires should be passed through the rubber cover using two small holes that are just in front of the tube-thingy.

The tube thingy should be vertical, pointing downwards and is there to vent the lights. :thumb
