Touratech Fog Lights

[mg2959]

Hello,

Has anyone had experience of the following? Fitting/ownership etc.

I like the look of them and the fact that they attach to a bracket that actually fits to the fairing, rather than attach to a crash bar. However I don't like the wiring option, it looks like you just pass the cabling over the fairing down past the stock and behind the radiator. Does anyone see an issue with making a small mod of a hole in one of the fairing panels to pass the cabling through - may be then cable tie it to the inside and neatly cable it in behind the radiator thus hiding the ugly cable?!?

Cheers

No experience with these but £148 for a single light?  Wow!  They must be great!!

Yeah agreed, they're not cheap! But probably the best looking and best placement on the wee that I've seen.

I have been given some daytime LED ridig/driving lights that cost £90 for a pair. My mate has the same on hos bike mounted on the rad guard. I hven't got one and trying to find a way to mount then to crash bars. Any ideas?  Those turatech do look nice, but the price is a killer for me

These are a better option:

Lower power drain, and wire direct to battery with built in electronic power on/ off

These are the same ones that I was given. Was told that they cost £90 :(;). What a friend.

Has anyone mounted then on the crash bars?

I have these, they are bright as flump but they don't cast a beam, so no good as a fog/driving lamp, great as a running light - if a bit flimsy.

got mine from a company called chainspeed £149 for 2 fitted them to the crash bars and easy to install you can see them on my avitar

They're 110watts the pair - which is quite a load.  These are good and much cheaper and 15 watts.   http://www.bikevis.com/motorcycle-rigid-industries-duallys.html

Phil,
Could you do close up picture, please?

Thanks

Some people have had problems when fitting extra lamps which are quite high wattage. The alternator output on the v-strom is not that high ( about 375-425w IIRC). If you fit these & you run some other extras such as heated grips/clothing, etc, you may find it has not got enough power to run them all.
that's why LED's are a favourite with most on here.

Have a look here

He fitted 55w lights but then had to change the bulbs to LED's

I keep plugging them on here but the Vision X LED ones I bought are superb, very bright, solidly built
and most importantly,only 10watt draw per light.
don't waste your money on overpriced touratech gear.

Thanks everyone for your opinions and advice.

I like the look of these ones raggydan. Where would you mount these on the wee?

[raggydan]

I had them mounted on a pat walsh lightbar just under the nose fairing, but have since moved
them to just above the indicators attatched directly onto the fairing.
I'll post a pic if you want(tomorrow).
