LED Auxiliary Lights

Liking night riding, I found the standard FZ1 lights lacking. Adding a twin hi/low 35w 5000k HID kit helped but something was still amiss when banking into corners. So, went on the prowl for some flood lighting options.

Have been running some CREE 3000Lm LED lights on the FZ1 for over a year and around 25,000 kilometres in all sorts of conditions. They have stood the test of time and deserve a review.

Well, lets see what they look like shall we.

The Zonda is distracting, isn’t it?

  1. thanks for the information on running lights, I tried to do this on my FZ1 and my fender banged into the mounting clamp. So I put the project on the back burner. The rain in the last picture is like what we get here in the north west of Oregon, what rain gear do you like?

    1. Yes, it depends on the clamps you use and how high you set them on the forks. I set them as high as they would go without hitting the upper fairing.

      For wet weather gear, in summer the humidity is stifling here in Japan and I wear mesh and carry a goretex hiking spray jacket and pants. In winter, it’s BMW streetguard 3 suit.

  2. Thanks for sharing a good info about led running lights. I already tried it on my bike. This light is amazing and increased the visibility to my bike. I have purchased this from MCmotoParts. Good service given by this dealer.

    1. Glad they worked out for you.
      Just got back from a well lit nightride. Still happy with the set-up many years later. Hope they provide you with many years of night riding adventures also.
