Auxiliary lights for my 1100

stanley · Nov 17, 2021

My 1100gs has had the main and dipped headlights upgraded to HID. Although they are very bright, the beam throw and pattern are rubbish. Riding on unlit country lanes is terrifying!

Could anyone recommend any auxiliary lights that I can add to the bike to light up the road?
I don't really want to go to the expense of Denali D4s. I know they won't be the same quality, but had anyone had a good experience with Chinese jobbies?

I picked up a light bar / bracket from here last week, so have somewhere to mount them+ relay, switch, etc.

Not oilhead specific, but much prefer this part of the forum

Cheers

Just fitted these to my V85TT - had similar om my 1150gs and no complaints about the quality.

Good solid construction with decent wiring....they come with the brackets for crash bars, however the brackets are plastic.

I have those on my 1150. They are very bright with a good flat cutoff. They are fog lights rather than spotlights but they work well. The brackets are a bit flimsy though so I made my own. I got mine off eBay

Bin the HiD conversion - the burner(s) probably not in the correct position to focus correctly. Adding a lightbar and aux lights of your choice wired to work on main and dipped beam, with a lockout swich on each circuit is a setup that has worked for me.
