Hi I got the lights on ebay. The switch I got is US made and not expensive from 12Vtechnology.com I used the switched power spare spade connector leads (power and ground) found above the engine. I soldered and heat shrunk the switch and light leads together as that is a no fail connection.
And i say that with a bit of experience. august 2021, 1030 pm on my way home, two pitbulls ran out in the street,
directly in front of me, just after i clicked 5th gear (actually 4th, but I am geared 16/43).
well, one of them is outright dead; ended up taking me over the last year to mend/rehab my torn right shoulder.
maybe if there had been more light on the road, those toads wouldn't have jumped out from between those two cars
the way they did.
I don't ever wanna take that long getting back up again (but at least I never had a chance to even let go of the bike)
Oh I got right back on the bike alright. I left the dumb dog there, of course, right after I reassured him how smart he really was.
But i really like your light options, I've been looking for the right set myself. Originally, and still occasionally, I was thinking more along the lines of something that functioned as a turn-actuated cornering light. I still have a tendency to wanna throw it over a little far in the dark, it would be nice to be sure I was on the line lol
There are two very accessible spade lug pairs above the cylinder. You do not need to remove anything and can see them if you look. One set is switched which is what I am using, and the other is unswitched always on. Super easy.
Yup the way I set it up you can also take them off without cutting up the plastic. Also, more separation between beams makes them more effective on the road. But hey thanks for the suggestion!
There's a vapor canister in one of them, and a coolant reservoir in the other. IOW, there isn't any room in there to accommodate the suggestion UR making.
Just sayin'
