Hi Bertrand
many thanks for the link I was thinking how crap the headlight output is on my 650Dak this morning on my way to work.

Its added to the long list of things to buy with the 1st pay packet from my new job - I have to work a month in hand:thumbdown: its been 5 weeks since I been paid so living on super noodles at mo - the Dak. is the only thing getting a regular feed.

ride safe
Gren

Great saying. This makes me feel better about burning though too much money on tuning and pimping my bikes.

Who needs food anyway. It's over rated.

I've been following the thread over on ADV Rider about these lamps and was thinking about getting one, but was unsure as to whether these would fit an '05 f650gs. Any chance you could tell me what mods you had to make, and is it reversible? Oh, and what year is your Dakar?

I cannot see any reason why it would not fit a 2005- mine is a 2002
Reversible? no but the mods are not on the bike but on the light fitting itself-
Buy one from Gabe at Zen Overland and he'll tell you 'how to' - it's not difficult :smiliex:

Travelling to and from work on the bike this week in the dark - my LED spots have been a massive boon ... a very bright pool of light in front of the bike, while the headlight creates the beam I need..

My LEDs were off ebay for a fraction of the cost of similar units from specific adventure sites

will post a picture when I can get a link to work

I've got some like these:

30W Black Motorcycle ATV CREE U2 LED Driving Fog Spot Head Light Lamp Headlight | eBay

though to be honest, there's lots of sellers, selling at varying prices who, on ebay, say they're from a number of countries, but all see to have some element of Chinese in their names :confused1:

It would be interesting to see what spending 10 times more gets you in terms of construction quality / light quantity.

Problem I had with ones like those are the 30W power ... I've got a voltmeter wired up and had a pair similar to those the power drain with them on was big... with the 12w LEDs the voltmeter doesn't change with them on
