Man, you've got more wiring on your bike than an F-18. Very Happy

Can you show us your LED side-markers?

I'll try to get photo's later today. It took me nearly a month to get up the courage to drill the mounting holes in the fairing side panels. I think you will agree however, when you see the lights, that the overall result was worth the agony.

Here are the pictures, sorry it took so long to post them. The lights are from Lockhart/Phillips. I have not yet tied them into the turn signal circuit, but I will soon. I have to take the side panels off to replace my radiator. Sad






The roundels are embedded in the lenses.






I also posted the pictures in the Pictures forum.

Irome48, I like that setup. Some details:
1) what model Pilot lites did you use?
2) How did you mount them under the headlights?

I looked at my K1100 LT and see where the horn is that you have 2 openings. I cant tell if you made brackets attached to the fairing frame through the hole or if you bolted the lights to the fairing.

Please guide me.

I'm going to mount driving lites too.

I like the LED setup. COOL! Cool

Update: I've been riding lots of miles the last couple of nights with the Hella FF50s. This is the first tme I've been out touring for extended periods of night riding with them. I'm just amazed at how much light they put out. With a 100W Xenon high beam and the Hellas. it's pretty frickin' awesome.

I insatlled a single driving light FF50 under the nose of the K11RS using a large aluminum washer on the inside of the black plastic of the fairing nose.

Additionally, I installed a pair of the Micro DE to the brake calipers using 1" X 1/8" aluminum stock.

I am very happy with the Hella products. If I were to do it all over again I would not have used halogen light kits even though the others are 4 times the price.
