Hey guys I know some of you have mounted aux lights on your bikes, here's mine...it's the large kuryakyn bullets with 20w(I didnt want the 35, bec it was too bright and draws a lot of power) mounted to the forks via kuryakyns 49mm mount. It's bright enough as you can see from the pics...anyway, I used an inline 15 amp fuse, hot wired to the battery, then I modified a small bracket to fit a standard automotive switch that attaches to the left side handlebar switch assy. At first I was going to mount it to the engine guards, but I figured the forks will be a suitable and better place for it. Where did you guys mount your aux lights, and what kind do you have?...lets see some pics...

They look cool...do they actually throw a noticeable amount of light on the road, or are they more to make you visible to cagers.

I have the same setup on mine except that I bought the high output 50w bulbs from Custom Dynamics. They are super bright and if I had to I could ride with just them on. I also have a HID setup in my headlight.

Thanks, mike. Looks like that's the way to go!

Yes on both...they throw light mostly towards the sides and up/down, and they definitely get you noticed by cagers, you know it works bec. some of them gets pissed and throws their hi beams on after you pass, LOL.

Cool...that'll definitely get you noticed by the cagers!

Thanks guys...this is great! I've been wondering about aux lighting for a while now, and it's nice to see it all in one place! Keep the ideas coming!

Yep, that's what I'm hoping. Plus I had my HID go out on me a few weeks ago and had to ride home at night with no headlight. Thankfully I was with a couple of other riders that gave me a lighted escort home. That's what made me look for aux lighting. Now if I loose my headlight I can still get home with plenty of light to see where I'm going.

I got the same reason in my mind, that's why I wired it independently with it's own switch, "just in case" something like this happens. It happened to me in the past with my Road King,good thing I was only a few miles from home and was able to get there safe...turns out it was a blown fuse.

I never thought about aux lights until I bought my Road King. I have oncoming cagers flashing their high beams at me in the daytime! Now I am looking into some for the V. Thanks all for posting these.
