Looking at getting these from Bikevis, I take it the switch system was bought seperately?
XJ600, VFR800, CBR1100, Varadero1000, CBR1100, STX1300, GTR1400 ?

Yep. Bought the switches and made the bracket myself

Ah, not that gifted  :wacko: so just the lights I guess. Can I ask where you wired them in?

Not sure what you mean by "where you wired them in"?

If it helps, the handle bar switch turns  on a relay which is powered from the front nearside power socket and in turn powers the lights?  Both the switch and the lights are independently powered from the socket as its only on with the ignition. Does that make sense?   If you look at the third photo the socket is just to the left of the left hand headlight adjuster.

If you just wanted to wire the lights so that are always on. Just wire them straight into the back of the socket. Kawasaki already put the wiring in for a socket if you don't already have one fitted. The light wiring come out on the bottom of the fixing so I drilled a very small pilot hole  in the mirror housing which is fitted  to the fairing  and ran the wire through that which runs the wire straight under the newrside panel, the one to  the left of the tank ( the one which is removed in the third photo and then it's easy to run it up to the nearside socket wiring. )

Hope that helps

Yep.  The powered socket wiring already has a fuse in the main fuse box but if you are working to something else put an inline fuse in.  I learned that the hard way a long time ago. 😁
