I have just read the post regarding a good `Hugger`. I ordered mine from Padgetts Kawasaki at Batley, quick service and at a decent price !!!

Fitted KB107 bar risers from MurphsKit this morning, only sat on the bike so far, but the riding position feels more comfortable already.

The give 1 3/8" rise & 3/4" backwards movement.

I'll report back after a ride this morning.

Only 50 odd miles, but enough to feel the difference:

More relaxed riding position (for me) and an even better view in the mirrors.

So I think I've found the optimum riding position & add-ons for my shape/size - 5'10" with 31" inside leg:

Calsci large screen, KB risers & grip puppies

Any more accessories that need adding to the first post?

[Kevin]

I'm going to have a go at fitting a pair of these today assuming putting the Hexacones on the FJR doesn't take too long. In fact I ought to be doing that now not sitting here but any excuse not to be working on the bikes. I was going to take them to a dealer for fitting until Lyn reminded me that dealers never seem to run the wiring as neatly as I'd like (neither do I but at least I haven't paid for what I do!).

Did you source them from a uk dealer? I wouldn't mind a pair on my bike.

[Kevin]

No, I bought them direct from the manufacturer (what accessory exists that you wouldn't like on your bike?!  ;) ).

I've just watched the You Tube clip on them, excellent product. Where are you mounting them on the GTR?

[Kevin]

They fit in place of the Allen bolts that hold on the front of the mudguard. Getting on the nut at the back is a complete nightmare and it's still not tight enough but that's probably a good thing for the moment as it will allow me to adjust the angle of the lights as required.

They're quite bright, but not too bright at their lowest setting which is where I shall leave them for now on dip. I can't wire in the 'go to 100%when I put main beam on' because I don't know where it needs to be wired unfortunately. Hopefully I'll be able to resolve that on Monday. I'm quite pleased with them :).

I have a set to put on the FJR as well but that'll have to wait.

Here's what they look like once fitted.

I had an email in from Clearwater (the manufacturer) over the weekend and I'm expecting the wiring instructions for the gen. 2 GTR later today.

Hmm, pretty damn good. How about the immediate wiring from them, is that relatively easy to keep tidy and discreet? That would be a bug bear of mine, I hate untidy cluttered wiring.

[Kevin]

Me too. There's just one set of wires, encased in black plastic, running up from each light to the upper fairing. Hang on and I'll go and grab another photo' for you...[wanders out to garage with camera in hand].

I took a couple which are attached (yes I know it needs a clean!).

I am never happy with aftermarket wiring as it always looks a mess :(. I don't think I made too bad a job of running these in but please don't ask to look at the mass/mess of wiring next to the pocket on the LH side of the fairing where the wires from these meet the two sets of SatNav wiring :(. I'm sure it would be a lot neater if I cut the wiring to length but I'm loathe to do that as these are not cheap and it's my intent to move them on to the next bike.

Hmm, all those cables would get in the way of the washing and polishing the bike. Now if they did a set of rechargable light units that would be a good alternative.
