I need some advice on lights/mounting

[AusTexS10]

Holy sh-t, that's some serious lighting! AuxTex, you've mounted your lights exactly where I want mine. I'm gonna buy the Denali clamps and will report to all how they are. Thanks for all the replies.

I think Bimota's above seriously outshines my piddly little lights.

Looking at that Denali light mount. Does anyone worry about mounting the light in front of the air intake?

I've considering the Denali bar mount, but I don't prefer the placement of the lights. I want them a bit lower and see that I could attach to my Altrider crash bar. Has anyone used Denali's Articulating bar clamp mount? https://denalielectronics.com/collections/all-mounting/products/lah-00-10300-b I've tried a few of the Amazon knockoffs and they're crap. This mount is pricey but I think might work more solidly. Any opinions from anyone who's tried these, let me know. Thx!

I have two set of Denali D3's: one with the light mount under the head lights and one set on my crash bars with these clamps both are an excellent product !

Mine I mounted below the intakes, on my Altrider crash bars but I can vouch for the quality of these Denali mounts. They are fantastic - rock solid and of the highest quality. Avoid the cheap crap ones all over Amazon or the ones that are included with cheaper light kits. I've tried a bunch and returned them all, until I got off the dime and bought the Denalis.

The rest is easy enough, but I’m not sure on the positap to a switched wire. I have no wire testing stuff. I think I can do this if it wasn’t for that. Hate to pay the dealer to find a place to tap that wire….View attachment 98945

Look at this post and the next. It shows where you can tap. Go buy an inexpensive test light you connect to the negative battery post and then probe for power in the back of a plug. You can get them for less than $5.

What TenereGUY has been up too

Put on Yamaha Grip heaters and the infill panel sold by a member on here. Turned the key on and hit the menu button and there was the symbol for the heaters. Showed three levels. All works. Now for aux lights... Oh, question answered about if I can raise the tank with Helibar setbacks on. You...

I like Posilocks but refuse to use Positaps
