My latest RT

Post by slparry »

Recently changed my callisto grey RT …. for another callisto grey one, this time with dynamic pack, audio, keyless and the central locked top case with brake light.
Additional bonus was finding it had a tracker fitted :D

Nice!!  Are they the standard BMW lights?  Been considering fitting Denali lights but they mount up near the indicators.  I reckon that makes then pretty vulnerable if you drop the bike, and they could cause more damage to the Tupperware.

I have the Denali lights. You can mount them anywhere. I used the undermirror mounts which look and work great. If you get the CANBUS also, you can control them from the “wonderwheel”. That also will turn the lights off when you activate a turn signal, or strobe when you use the horn or flash the high beams (all user options).

I have also fitted the Denali D2 under the mirrors and the CanSmart to control them and extra rear brake lights.

yes they're BMW ones, my concern with the ones that mount near the indicators is they may obscure the indicators a bit.

You'll be pleased you haven't got a 2021 R1250GS, where the front indicators are both illuminated (orange) as running lights and then one flashes as an indicator whilst the other remains lit up. IMO, they are not very visible at all, confusing and dangerous. Likewise, at the rear, the indicators & brake lights are combined. This results in the brake light masking the indicator.

Fast forward to 7:20 in this video and you'll see what I mean, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExjQSVfz8Ik

I have Clearwater Darla lights and the quaintly named Billy rear light, very popular in the US but pricey over here by the time Customs have had their cut. Excellent lights, and can be wired up to flash with the horn (like Denali I believe). Infinitely adjustable on brightness etc. by a weird combination of indicators and things, but I went for default 'cos I haven't got the patience to play with them!

Agreed David, these indicator lights look dangerous and confusing to our UK motorists. Maybe this is for our North American cousins ,where orange running lights are more common?
As an aside, I cannot for the life of me understand why running lights are fitted to 38t HGVs, if people can see a great big truck coming they should not be on the roads, or the kerbside!
