Hey Dale, it's Markus. Thanks for all the tips and guidance this past week, and of course for the free California gas. If you ever come my way I'll make sure to repay you. I had fun even if I had a hard time keeping up with you guys. :)
yes that is what I did now. I had it on the high beam first but didn't like it so switched it around now that I can turn them on when ever i want to. Turns out the light pattern of my lights is anyway more of a flood light type. I didn't know because I bought those lights used from somebody...
thanks for your help.
What size diodes did you use? Voltage, amperage?
Was also thinking maybe a 3 position handlebar switch would work. Position 1 would be getting signal from pink high beam wire, position 0 would be off, and position 2 would be getting signal from a constant 12v source. That...
but that is the opposite of what i want. This way I just have the ability to turn them off if I do not want them on on high beam, what I want is being able to turn them on when not on high beam.
I've read a few hours of AUX light installs but would like to know how one would have to wire to be able to switch the lights on anytime (external switch can be switched on low or high beam) but will switch them off if I dim the High beam. Not sure if this is even possible.

So when i pulled the shaft out there was a small amount of oil in there also quite a bit of corrosion on the lower portion of the...
the under 5 dollar upgrade :) Have not tested it yet but hopefully tomorrow.
I used to have Barkbuster Storms on my KLR and they gave very good wind and weather protection to my hands. With the Tenere I always have cold hands (might have to do with that it still is wintry) Storm set up for the...
thanks for all the tips. I guess i just have to tackle it as i'm to cheap to pay somebody else for doing it. And besides that, I need to know that I can do it too in the middle of nowhere if I have to.
I'm waiting for a sunny day to warm the tires up but the weather does not corporate this year...
