Aftermarket Auxiliary Lights / Turn signals for R18B -> R18 Transcontinental setup

[TravisC]

Looking for recommendations for a cost-effective auxiliary lights + turn signal setup for my R18B. Currently have been this item posted on eBay however I am not technical enough in knowledge to know if I could attach turn signals to these as well as if this could be wired in a manner which they will turn on/off with the ignition of the electronics (in the manner as the headlight) without requiring a manual switch for use.

Here is the item I am typical seeing which seems more cost effective: https://www.ebay.com/itm/406534719056
What I am not understanding is how these aftermarket pieces are selling for like $277 yet OEM pieces are selling minimum $650-$700+. Has anyone else made this change to their R18 Bagger?, what did you purchase/do to your bike to get it to work?


Background:
Originally bought the R18B Bagger however as I have been riding and adding things here and there it has slowly been transforming itself into a transcontinental. This becomes particularly true with the additional of leg guards being added. The issue is these guards create an issue where I am unable to fully utilize the forks steering radius because the current turn light indicators mounted on the forks will hit against the leg shields. On the Transcontinential model, the turn signals are located below the auxiliary/fog lights placed further forward in front of the forks which nullifies this issue.

The search function should turn up several threads. Also search for HEX ezCAN.

The caveat is that there is not much ´cost effective´ for the R18

I have a factory set from 21 Classic, don't know if they fit though? with the factory add-on you have to change the right-side multi-function switch on the handlebars. P.M. if interested, turn signals also.

Now if you just want the turn signals out of the way, I used standard 2 wire bullet lights on my '23 bagger with aluminum spacers that I painted black. I run the TC style leg deflectors and the fixed mount fairing deflectors (going get the adjustable ones later) and I have zero clearance issues.

I’m certain that you would wire the relay coil to a switched input, so yes it would turn off and on with the bike. You still want the toggle switch that comes with the light to turn them off when needed, you can keep it in the on position and it will work the way you wanted it to work.

The OEM parts list and instructions have been posted here several times, check it out.

Clearwater lights and Denali are the two biggest and most expensive both using a can bus controller. It is expensive but super high quality and functionality. Plug and play minimal wiring issues. Many mounting options

My opinion - get a Hex EZ Can and check out Mori Moto lights. The combo will be cheaper than Denail or Clearwater, and they are excellent lights.
