Im interested to see how you mounted any driving lamps to the bike. more points for home brew setups.
4 LEDs designed for Mini digger in place of spots, brackets were welded to frames.
Any chance of more details and some close up pics?
Please!
Two HID's to replace standard lights and 4 LEDs designed for Mini digger in place of spots, brackets were welded to frames.
Light guards fitted in preparation of riding across China.
Incredible power when all switched on.

I tried some 30 degrees cone beam LEDs.
Dead loss because 50% of the Light was going skyward and what remained gave too much foreground light. Too bright to use as daylights.
At night I could see every pebble sliding under the bike but beyond dipped beam was like a black wall. Any mist was made worse by the scattered light.
A decent quality H7 LED bulb in headlight dip beam gives more than enough foreground light. You can have too much.
Another in main beam is ok but a halogen in main beam is pointless with LED (or HID) in dip.
Another LED in main beam is useful but still angled too low.
I fitted a pair of long range LED spots wired to light with main beam only. I can ride at any speed I like in the dark. Visibility is not an issue. They hang on the GSA OEM spot lamp brackets.

Thats a great idea with the mounting, i guess its stainless as youve tigged it.
Aye, my company works in a chemical factory which has its own stainless workshop, got all the brackets made and welded up for a bottle of Smirnoff

That made me laugh Bendy, it is exactly how I gauged how good my new lights were. I went for a nighttime blast around the country roads with standard lights, could only go 40 MPH safely. After upgrading 80MPH+ was still fine so I figured that was bright enough.

I fitted the eBay ones to my Explorer, I used the halo ring as the side/parking light. The lights were no good compared to the BMW OE ones my mates had on their GSAs. Only any good as bright daytime running lights. Seriously I’d give the eBay ones a miss. I now have a GSA and the OE lights are far superior.
