Nice..
Nice one CC.. looks good.
The three LEDS at the base of the plate.. are they from NN?
I looked at them, but held off. I have not been able to get intouch with Malky to get some widetails sortted, so going my go down the light budies look. It is certainly enhanced by clear lenses.... mine arent a cool looking, but heck they are bright at nigh!.. good for poor vis weather.. glad to have em...

CC, do those little lights under the no plate get brighter when you brake, or are they just running lights?

Flashing..
CC, how did you wire the light blazer up so it didnt flash,, Norman said it flashes, the outer two,, i didnt want this.. hence why i didnt get em..
Sadly i ordered an LED bulb for the rear std light, he sent a red one despite me asking for a white one,, (whoops) so a replacement should have a arrived today,, but no sign of it yet..
So cannot say how well that works,, will let people know once it arrives.. hopefully tomorrow..
I may have to go down the light buddys route too,, as Malky seems to have disappeared.
The reflector on a GS is builtingto the std lamp,, so technically with out the topbox, you should have one CC.. Tut tut..
You could always fit a couple of units like mine,, then you can have more red lights and reflectors..

Re: Flashing..
I swopped the Wires around, no more flashing except upon first turning the lights/ignition on (flash twice), kept the same ground of course........
It seems to work fine.......so far!
I have a wee Reflector that will sit nicely on the rear edge of the rack...........just to keep folk happy..........

Wires..
Which ones CC??
Could you do a quick wiring picky.. i fancy adding these once i have the xenon main beam conversion done.. ( Currently my choice of better lighting, but still to be looked into)
CC how did you find the xenon light in the end?
And,, is the tail blaze,, attached as well as a TT fender extender? Anyproblems with the fitting?

Hi rocks,
Unfortunately, to post a piccy I'd have take the whole lot apart behind the rear number plate. It's all sealed with silicone and tape so I'm sure you'll under if I refuse you that one.......
There are only three wires from the Lite Blazer.......The Instructions are dead easy, you still connect the earth as per instructions, just swap the other two.......if you get the Blazer, try it on a Battery first, you'll see what I mean.......
The Xenon is actually on the Dipped Beam not Main on mine.........and it's like changing night into day, just make sure it's set right for the load on the Bike.........
I have it set for two up so when I'm on my own, it is a wee bit low but the output is great compared to the original, then again, that's not to difficult is it!
'Iain L' thought that he had been flashed by a Camera when following me on the Sleepezzz weekend, we had passed a Phone box in which the light reflected into his line of sight.
He was behind me but the light was that bright he thought, briefly, that it was a Flash.........pretty bright then!
The Lite Blazer is stuck to the Touratech Mudguard with double sided sticky pads.
It came attached to an angled metal Number plate backing plate.
This would not allow me to fit where I wanted, so after checking with the Manufacturers, I removed the metal plate using a Hobby knife.
Easy to do, just be careful when you get to where the wires come out of the unit, by the time you get near there with the knife, you can simply peel the two apart......carefully of course.
The Sticky that it was attached with is easily cleaned off, just roll it off with your thumb.
All I did then was to drill a small hole in the Touratech Mudguard to pass the wires through to make a tidy finish to it all........Sorted...

Nice..
Cheers CC,,
I am looking for main beam improvement as well as dipped, so going to probably go TT main beam replacement unit and then two supplimentary lights to stay on with the dipped... not decided fully on these, possibly TT fogs, or hella's of some kind..
I wondered how you got the bracket to fit,, the truth is, you didnt. I was rather hoping you did get it to fit..
Will it fit if you dont have a TT extenda.. as in my case..?

The 'Blazer' should fit fine without the Touratech Mudguard using the plate it comes attached to.
Bit surprised that you are not considering upgrading on the Dipped Beam.....after all, that is the light you use the most.....
The kit comes with uprated Main beam Bulb anyway and a replacement side light bulb for the 'Blue' effect when main is not in use.
The power drain on the dipped beam is less as well, once the bulb is fired up, and it should last for the life of the Bike.
It's a lot of money to spend on a Main Beam setup if you are not getting as much use as a dipped beam.
But then, maybe you spend more time running around in the early hours when there's less traffic about.............

Honesty..
To be honest, i didnt actually know you could upgrade the dipped beam.. thought it was main only.
Drat.. gives me something else to consider now.. eeeek!..
Wonder if you can do both?? ..
Then see those cagers retinas burn when they drive with their fogs on and badly adjusted headlights.. burn baby burn..!
Ah humm sorry..
I know you found it easy to fit, but i didnt like the idea of drilling out the mount/cap as you had to. I wish to be able to swap the units onto the next bike,, most likly to be a GS again in the future.
My night riding is a mix of backroads and main roads.. hence my wish to make the bike tail end, more visible and get better lights.
Serious question now.. would the bike electronics support both a xenon main and dipped? Finding space for both the extra starters and bits that go with the xenon bulbs would be tricky.. but the light output must be awsome..
