What is the 'Yamaha Wire Lead Sport 2'.  Part # Q5K-YSK-001-U48

Comment says... *Power is supplied only as the headlights are on.  

Does that mean it could be used to power AUX light to come on with the headlights?

Selamlar, ön aydınlatma kadar arka stop lambaları da çok önemli,çekim kalitesi için özür dilerim

Good looking lights.  Do you have a closer picture of how you mounted the lights?

Sorry - thought I had responded to this. This looks like a Y adapter that could be used for auxiliary lights. so long as the auxiliary lights are relatively low current draw this may be sufficient if you don't have a separate relay/switch to allow you the flexibility of turning on the auxiliary lights independently of the headlights.

I've decided to remove my stock mirrors as they are not really useful after adding the FJ-09 hand guards. The handle bar bar mirrors work very well even though I need to upgrade from the cheap ones I installed for function test. Currently I think the look is a little odd on my GT with so many things sticking out on the sides. My plan is the put lights where the stock mirrors mount, and since wiring is already at that location it should be straight forward. This will be a winter project so for now I'm looking for inconspicuous running or fog lights that maybe have a turn signal option. I have turn signal light on my hand guards that need to be wired up so if I just add fog light to the mirror location I will be good to go. After-market light suggestions appreciated.

I've been looking to do something similar but cannot find a good turn signal replacement blinker that I like yet. Had to start a whole new thread just on mirrors....

From a Swiss Niken owner. First time seeing this style of fork mounted setup.

Bağlantısını yaptığınız ek aydınlatıcı ana fardan uzakta olmalıdır. Ama fazla dışarı taşmamalı.

Very interested in how you attached that there. Any additional close up photos of how you attached it?

This just in from a fellow owner. Mounting lights on the suspension directly to the bolts was clever. Personally like the stealthy look and if you have these style/size of lights this may be a potential mounting solution. 

One must be sure that the auxiliary lights in question aren't so large that they end up  interfering with the front suspension clearance while leaning/turning.

Any chance of a closer pic of the installation and brand name of lights?

Will check with original poster out of Spain.

Reposting from another thread - anyone attempted using LED cornering lights from a FJ1300 or Tracer 9 GT into the Niken? I know Yamaha has the tech - just not sure how hard it would be to make it work with the Niken or if the front end cowling will even fit the new cornering lights or if the IMU will even work correctly with an LED from another Yamaha model.
