tt600r wiring.

Hi. i have a 97tt600r - kicker only, no battery. The headlight is appallingly bad, and i would like to fit additional LED lighting.
Can anyone tell me if there is a suitable point in the wiring to pick up a decent DC supply to run them?
Cheers.

You can get led headlights to the less load the better

I bought some Model 60 LEDs with a rotary dimmer from ADVmonster for my TTR. They come with 3 wires, high beam/low beam/ground, which are fitted with spade connectors, so they plug right into the original connector.

So are you saying the LEDs are a direct replacement for the existing bulb? As in they plug in and fir inside the headlight?

There are 2 options:

1. You get a LED H4 replacement bulb, and swap out the stock bulb for a LED. I did this with my taillight. ADVmonster LED Headlight! | Adventure Rider You have to make sure it fits.

2. You get some LED extra lights, that you wire in. You can for example mount them as extras.

Heres a example from ZenOverland with 2 x Rigid Industries lights with brackets mounted on a TT600R.




Personally i got a whole new fairing, with 2 x LEDs and a rotary controller. Its all ready to be plugged into the stock spade connector. Ill take a couple of pics later. I havent fitted it yet, but it looks like this. Fairing is here: http://stores.advmonster.com/dual-sport-fairing/



Heres the wiring diagram for the Advmonster lights + a rotary dimmer: Recommended wiring diagram with LED controller - ADVmonster. I can take some pictures of my fairing/LEDS/wiring if you want.

Cheers for that, the Zen Overland set up is what I'm after, I'm making progress with finding the DC output I need. Gabe at Zen is a top bloke, I am going there one day next week to get it all sorted.

That big fairing thing is hideous - sorry - definately couldnt put that on my bike.

I'm more into function over form The TT needs some kind of wind protection in addition to better lights.

Keep us updated on the progress, so others can see how its done.
