Just finished the following farkles:
1. Breakaway cruise control
2. Komy 3600 lumen fog lights with handlebar switch
3. Nelson Rigg tail bag you can lock the top
4. Cortech tank bag which I powered so I can power my XM radio, heated gear and GPS with Ram X grip
5. Vario touring screen black
6. Grip puppies
Not much room left. Going on a two week trip mostly staying at the Iron Horse Lodge in Stecoah NC. If you have never stayed there it is the best motorcycle only resort in the US

Might pass you on the road, we will be in Marshall the week of the 24th

Nice but I got you beat on the fog lights. I got 12000 lumens of LED driving lights hanging off the side and the plan is to double that in the near future. Funny how nobody dipped their lights before but they dip them now...

We were coming across a narrow mountain road one night and the first set of cars we came across were pulled right off the road. WTF? but yeah ok. The second set of cars we came across had done the same thing and then my mate pointed it out. They thought I was a big ass 4x4 coming by the glare on the horizon.

Why you may ask? I like night riding in the country

I'd like to see your mounting for these lights if they are more than two lights as I could not figure out how to mount more than two not using the bikes mounting holes at the bottom of the bike.

I have the 2 I have now mounted to the crash bar. I was looking for lights with a big spread and the ones I ended up finding have a 30 degree spread on the top half and the bottom half has a 60 degree spread. Even with that I can still see 10 seconds down the road at 100kph. None of the bike ones I could find could do that.

They are also 5 inches across so were never going to fit where those little fog lights go but now I can hook full tilt into a corner and see where I am going on a pitch black night and also more importantly I can see the wildlife which can be such a day wrecker hiding off to the side.



I am using a clamp similar to the one below to attach them to the crash bars.

I did consider bolting a set directly below onto the same mount which would have suited my particular tastes but if I drop the bike I would crush the lower lights so I am going to fabricate (cool way of saying bend some flat bar) into a shape that I can mount another 2 above those ones and try and follow the slanted line of the radiator cowl.

G [d idea mine are mounted to the front fender angled 15 degrees of center so I can see into turns. I like your mounting better.
