Auxiliary Lights

I'm wanting to install some aux lights for high beam use only. I live in a rural area and rode at night so I'd like as much light as i can get.

I'm after lighting options that are sleek and don't really stand out. I was thinking of getting a 5 light led bar and ticking that under the nose however i don't know if the front mud guard will contact it or not. I'll put a zip tie around the fork leg and measure off that.

So those that have additional lights on their bikes, post up a pic! Thanks :)

I just put a set of Denali D2 LED lights from Twisted Throttle on my fifth gen.  The difference, if you'll pardon the expression, is night and day.

There's not a lot of places to hang them on a fifth gen.  Some people mount them to the forks where the fender is bolted on.  I mounted mine on the front cowl (I had spare) -- not unobtrusive, but not obnoxious.  I'll try and get a shot of them later today.  They are a bit pricey, but the light they throw, especially on high, is absolutely astounding.

I recently installed an LED spot from ADVMonster (http://stores.advmonster.com/). I haven't gotten it aimed quite right yet, and I'm afraid I might have to make a new bracket to get it perfect, but for the money I'm pretty pleased with it. I made my own wiring harness for it, but ended up spending almost as much money as they sell their harness for, so it may be easier to just buy theirs.

I was wondering if some could be hung from under the cowl, about where the horn resides now. I don't think the front fender goes up that high.

Sure could have used some for my blast home from ohio last night.

I am a little biased since these are sold by a friend of mine but I'm a big fan of these:

I know they're getting better all the time, but I wouldn't have thought that LEDs could yet compete with HID or even halogen for pencil beam-type long-distance driving lights.  I have had different lighting set-ups on my bikes, including PHIDs and 110w PIAA 910s, but as I mostly ride in Europe, there's really no place I would want to ride (at night) where they are necessary, so I've removed them.  The 'States and Oz obviously still offer suitable locations, however...

Ciao,

I've been a bit preoccupied lately trying to keep my job,but This weekend I'll put the zip tie around the fork leg and see what clearance we have under the head light cowl.
