    Cheers Bender, I see they use deutsch electrical connector which is interesting as we have them at work, would make it easy to wire a set on the Tenere. Easy enough that I just ordered a set. I have been holding out regarding lights as we don’t ride in the dark, but there have now been two instances so I have invested

    same, normally by time it’s dark i like to be settled, tent up and having a beer or rum in front of a fire, but better to be prepared, spesh as winter coning on and i’ll be riding to work in the dark ( well even darker).

    wasn’t 100% sure as to how to assemble the connecter properly but i think i got it mostly right – lol.

    those lights seem pretty solid mate, i dont think you regret the purchase, – the delivery was pretty quick also

    and they will be going onto a tenere when i can afford one :unsure:

    Nice,,,
    I invested in some cheaper led`s to mount as an interim measure for this year. Will save the $$$ to update later.
    Bought Chinese imports for now and will see if they last :whistle: (not expecting too much for the $$$)

    Might come in handy for the upcoming trip to the Birthday bash in June ;) AN early start for me is a certainty and a late finish on the Sunday is probably on the money too :laugh:

    Keep us informed on how they go Bender ;)

    Yeah Bundy i strapped it on last trip, knowing that i was riding into the afternoon sun, only put about 30% charge into the phone though, hence the 12v plug that i put into the dash.
    I’m planning to be at the b’day bash so you can check them out there Eagle, and compare . been leaving them switched on when i’m heading into work, making sure that i’m seen – lol, and even took a detour through Lane Cove nat park early one morning and they definately light the road up far better than the normal headlight :cheer:

    cant wait to test in the bush proper

    B) My LED`s turned up today from China ,,, El Cheapo set for a test run before the trip to Sunny Corner.
    Had to fabricate some brackets to mount them as the bar mounts supplied were cheap & nasty and I have no real room on the bars anyway :whistle:

    Still need a waterproof switch or bar mount light switch or might even wire them into my Highbeam ??? Undecided on that just yet ,,,,
    They seem to be nice & bright in the shed, so a night run on the weekens might be in order to set the spot angles etc

    Will see about posting up some pics later on :P
