In addition to the good advice above, be wary that there are A LOT of high frequency secondary vibrations transmitted through the headlamp subframe and associated bodywork. Speaking from experience, fit Nyloks and spring washers where possible and use Loctite on all threads where you can't or you will lose your new lights!

Good points, thanks for the heads up. I've never rode a single cylinder, apart from the 125 I learnt on a few years back, but I'm expecting it to be a bit vibe, owned a few v-twins and they were bad.

I've already a list of what I want to do and lights and exhausts are at the top 😂

I've been reading up on exhausts and the fuel mod and air filter is always a must, though that's confusing the life out of me at the min.
Crash bars are going to be added at some point no doubt too.
Exhausts I fancy something different, I have a supertrapp in the garage, actually from the original xt, the 500, though I've no idea if diameter is even remotely close, but that would be fun, or twin megaphones

Cheers Pepsi, I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261688642281

I use these, 1 flood and 1 spot.

Like having a supernova light the way. Also i use them when someone has a punture etc. Cam be left on for an hour or two and the battery will still start the bike. .

Also 25,000 miles and 3 salty british winters on and offroad and they still work perfectly.

Fitted in place if indicators and indicators moved too sidelights locatuon using orange bulbs

Cheers for the link, that's certainly a different way to do it. Pity it doesn't come with switch and fuse, my electrical skills are simple, or I could be tempted with one under the headlight

Nothing like having some extra lighting on the trails , mine are tucked up above the front towing eye perfect place for them when off road!...

That's probably the position I'd go for, between the headlight and the tow eye. So far I have bought nothing as I've been trying to get a light bar made up with no success, even with the plans from here no one is wanting to do it

I am afraid i am guilty of going the vision x route,yes they are expensive but i have never had a problem with them and they are solidly built and light up my way with no problem at all!..

The vision x ones do look good but they are expensive. I've contemplated even buying the vision x light bracket and fitting other lights to it
