Anybody put any running lights on their Zero? PIAA, Denali, Clearwater..?
« on: October 18, 2015, 06:41:11 AM »
Just ordered a '15 S after a long demo including some night riding.  The stock headlight is okay, but I plan to upgrade that to an LED right away.  I'm also planning to add a couple of forkmounted conspicuity/driving lights to help illuminate dark curves at night and increase visibility during the day.  Anybody gone through this?  Clearwater lights look like good quality and lots of output, but they offer a CANBUS connection or a non-CANBUS connection.  Anyone know if the Zero is CANBUS equipped?

I've a set of Molten Rhok illuminated wheel trims, and a set of home brew side lights on the battery casing (which no longer work very well at the moment, and I'm making a newer more robust set.)

I have Rigid Industries D2 (high/lows) on my FX.  Love them.

I've got a set of the Denali D4s that I haven't figured out how to mount yet. Hopefully I'll get that done this week before the days get too short.

SoundMusic:  Did you put them on yourself?  If so, was it complicated?  Thanks.

Yes, I installed the Denali's myself.
It is very easy to do so.
They look great and boy what a difference in lighted area on the road. They put the Zero headlamp to shame.

Later today, I'll send a photo of my bike showing the Denali's.

Uses cigarette lighter adapter for power.  Twenty bucks and 20 minutes.

@erimurca - Are those Denalis? If so, what mounting kit did you use?

Does anyone know where I can get a suitable connector for adding lights?  I don't want to cut into the harness.
