ordered from ebay & installed (had to disconnect the whole mirrors for a perfect installation)
I'm very happy with the result because they improve the V-looks of the front of (the lights of) our great designed bike ;-)

Neat :yes:
That looks nice.
My 'evidence' is based purely on my experience but I really think having a non-standard light array at the front aids visibility to other road users.

Thx;-)
That's also one of the reasons indeed.... Visibiltiy for the other drivers... The bike looks bigger also I hear...
Here in belgium , cardrivers are not always very friendly for bikers (that 10%!..)...
Still need a modulator and a red helmet and they will be more friendly :mfr_lol:.. Oh yes... The lights are not blue :grin:
Sweet job mate :)

Looking good what's the flea bay no please :clap:
Of course, here they are...
Perfect delivery from the UK after 2 days into sweet Flanders ;-)
Didn't use the brackets but put them into the mirrors with the bolt at the back. Had to open the mirrors for that.

Great! That was my next plan.. He put them on the license plate ?
Was also thinking putting white ones in the front and red ones in the back off our sidebags... But issue when taking them off...
Can the admore topcase light be bought in the UK/ europe? Guess the import taxes from the USA are too big...

Did you mount them by drilling into the mirror housing?
Had to drill only once inside : after the mirror is totally apart, there is a metal part with three holes for three bolts, there in the middle is a little mark where I have drilled the hole. That's where the cable passes ...
In that way all the wiring is inside the mirror and you can see no cable at all...
Of course also 1 drill where the light is fitted outside to the mirror... Fits perfect, also with the great design of our bike...
You have to see the result... Perfect and just of fabric. ;-)
Looks great, and here everyone is looking at the bike... (I hoped that they were lookin at me, not so... :mfr_lol:)
It's original and the bike looks better... So everyone can see me better coming.... Safety first :punk:
I have posted also a new picture (in that link) in light darkness where you see that they are even more bright in darkness... Just not too much in real life.
beegee, many thanks for the instuctions
I couldn't be bothered take the mirror totally apart so you can see my wires if you look hard enough.
For reference, if anyone does want to do the same procedure, once you've removed the mirror and undone the two screws to remove the panel that the LED will bolt to, measure 1.2cm (x) and 2.5 cm (y). That way you will get it in the middle

Looks like I will have to order another pair to fit like this too - I fitted a pair at Christmas (present) to the canyon cages and am very pleased with the effect of car drivers as I approach - but these look the 'dogs' at that level.
Well done BeeGee/Kwikasfuki for the write up and info.
...Kwikasfuki - nice green, fastest colour and the best, almost British Racing colour :)
Yes, that's it ! Nice job ;-)
It's the perfect place to put them... Maybe a hint for kawa in the future...
Tapped them in the aux power are do you have a fuzeblock?
Hope you can also cope with all the girls/women who will be attracted with this special feature :mfr_lol:

I have the crees and bikevis bulllets wired up via a switch
To minimise the load on the switch I put in a relay
so switch to relay, relay to fuzebox and lights.
I'll probably buy a pair for the brakes as well

I have the bikevis bulllets wired up via a fuzebox
Mounted on the R&G crash posts, I flattened the posts off with a file, glued the lights to the flattened surface, drilled a small hole through the post and threaded the wire through, simples

I have the bikevis and the Cree. The Cree ones are much better IMO
re - I have the bikevis and the Cree. The Cree ones are much better IMO
2nd'd - I too have both Bikevis under the headlights and on rear in red as extra rear and brake lights but the Cree are by far the best.

Where did you get the rear Cree lights from?
sorry mate - poorly written by me - BikeViz front and rear - only Cree on front
Haven't found any red or amber Cree but am looking....
ah ok, i've been looking for Red rear Cree ones as well
there is a PDF from Cree saying they make them but I can't find any already made up for fitting....

I wonder if those red LEDs would fit in the panel between the indicator lights?
