I've just Added Lights to our F3 Spyder!

I just added some driving lights to our Spyder. Was not sure how I wanted to do it so checked out some forums. I decided to go with mounting them on the upper A Arm. I have been noticing more and more bikes around here running amber lights in like the fog light area. Like HD aux lights and the ADV bikes on forks. The kit I got however was only white, but they are bright as heck. To my surprise the kit came with everything needed, although nowhere in the description did I see any reference to that. For $25 I didn't think it was a huge gamble even if I had to buy brackets and a switch.

I used the power port on the left side under the "customer" panel. The harness is supplied with an inline fuse. All wires are nicely covered in a plastic tube and ends come with what looks like same type connectors as some of the BRP add-ons.

Last nite when I got the chance, I pulled out on our street. OMG the amount and color of the light was something else. I actually think if you were on a 2 lane I would have to turn them off. They are a much brighter white than the OEM headlights. And I thought those were a nice brite white. I agree lots of lights are nice to have. Back in the 80s and 90s when I had my GS1000 I had lights mounted on the crash bars that were bright. But they drew so much amperage (before LED) you could only run 1 at a time. They were landing lights for like a small airplane.

Just curious if you noticed the lights moving much at speed? The upper control arm would have a fair amount of up and down movement at road speeds.
