Auxillary Lights

[BritAndrew]

I just bought a 2017 with about 17,500 miles on it back in April. 

Fantastic bike - I put a touring screen on immediately and want to add some auxiliary lights.

The bike has an engine cage so I'm not sure whether to install aux lights low down or up under the faring like the new Tracers.

 

Thoughts?

I like them up high out of harms way.

Search is your friend. Here is a thread that shows the hook up location...

higher is also better for the light pattern it will put out.  low causes more and longer shadows and gets blocked easier.

I prefer them attached to forks/fender mounting bolts. This way they are basically in constant movement (more noticeable to others) and they are pretty far from turn signals (this way not interrupting function of them).

Mount them as high as you reasonably can.

If you install the Givi Light Bracket for the Tracer under the chin of the bike, you can then mount the lamps of your choice. These 2" LED Flamethrowers put out some insane lighting.

The Givi light bracket is a great option.

On light position, if you want more light on the road, higher is better; if you want to be seen by other road users, lower is better (down on the crash bars gets them wider). Also, for fog lights, you want those low too. 

Amber lights are much better for getting noticed by others on the road.
