• Now it's getting lighter and I don't need them I'm thinking about fitting spotlights/foglights to my engine bars. The main aim is to increase cars visibility of me - going on the principle of it being easier to spot wider objects and low lights on the edge would create a visual triangle.

    That being the case, I don't think I need to spend a fortune on motorcycle spot lights. I was looking into those cheap USB battery pack mtb lights and planning on adapting. But Aliexpress throws up these cheaper ones:

    Description:

    Power: 10W;
    Voltage: 10-30V DC;
    Light Type: With 10W CREE Chip LED ;
    Color Temperature: 6500K (White);
    Luminous Flux: 650LM;
    Waterproof Rate: IP67;
    

    I was then going to fix some sort of mesh/grill to protect them and came across these tweeter grills, which are the rough size and already shaped.

    **For the electrical install what do I need to know? **

    I guess I need some sort of resister to convert whatever the Triumph battery puts out, plus some sort of switch and/or mechanism to prevent the lights running when the bike is off?

    There aren't any immediate plans to add more gadgets, but I have an optimate cable and would be adding a fog light cable. As it's not unrealistic to think heated grips and a micro USB power cable could also be added, would it be worth having some sort of mini-switch to prevent a nest of cables attached to my battery?

    Any thoughts welcome. Cheers.
