Whilst you lucky blighters elsewhere enjoy double figure Celsius, the murky gloom has descended upon Pudding Island.

This LED offer looks like it could be a good deal, especially for the electronically disinclined.

For £450 it includes the brackets to position lights near the top of the cylinders, parts and labour. A separate switch is secured by way of the left mirror.

That’s right H, although my local dealer has the exact same offer for £80 more than last year - thanks in part to a depreciating currency...

Anyone else have these lights? Aftermarket would probably be at least a third cheaper than OEM.

Btw it’s noticeable how t-junction creepers get more adventurous in winter, you have to be extra defensive when they play cat and mouse nudging out of side streets. The triangle of head lights should make them less likely to pounce.

Arbol, get the HexEzCan, get the MaMo light bars, and use those BMW LED lights and the mounting brackets. Simple install, no extra mirror switch needed. If you go with the aftermarket lights, you will need to fabricate or weld some type of mounting bracket, UNLESS those aftermarket lights fit the BMW style light brackets. That is hard to find.

With the HezEzCan, you can set the lights to strobe with the horn. When those T intersection looneys challenge you, beep the horn, and a triangle of strobes says "don't cut off that Policeman":grin2:

I installed Wunderlich LED Micro-Flooters. With the mounting location just under the tank line & no issues blinding traffic heading in the other direction. Great for viability, Fog/rain.

All due respeck 'n all that, but youse Blokes what spends hundreds of pounds (or dollars) on these things must be millionaires! Try these for size - I've had numerous pairs fitted onto many bikes, Rs, GSs, others, and they are excellent value for money, have many lumens, and have never let me down. See and be seen...
