have in mind I just have them, I did not start to do anything! My Idea is still to go with the original ones like how they are and this ones from China to be one more pair on the crash bars, so I need to see what cables I need how to pass them ( I do not want to made any holes on the crash bars ). My motorcycle is a project for the time been, is on the garage, here the whether is only raining ( I do not intend to take it out in rain, only if I will get by the rain on the road ), so until March I have the time taking easy. First it was a good cover, even in the garage, secondo front wind screen- done, third ( not a such crazy price expensive passenger backrest ), security system something like GPS Tracker and Alarm with no wiring, waterproof, global tracking, easy to be hidden no cables to the battery to be cut. The one which I have in mind is Monimoto 9, here in UK is about 40GBP/year subscription, Global tracking so is perfect even if I will go in Europe! My list is having and other 2-3 more things, work in progress! And I forget, I arrange with a sign writing is called here to made black gloss ( having my engine black gloss )strips on my Manhattan green color in January, the same ones like Mike is having on his ( is going to cost me a little more, but I thing is worth ed ), is something from the older Bimers which I think suppose to be in all R18, is like identity! Yes I am Made in Berlin!

The advantage of the BMW lights is:
  1. The existing mode switch will turn the lights on and off.
  2. The bike is pre-wired for these aux lights, and using the GS911 tool, you can have the dash icon indicate the on/off status of the lights just like the Transcontinental. Before I programmed the lights with the GS911, often times I could not tell if the lights were on.
So what was your list, what did you buy when you added the auxiliary lights, please?! I am trying to avoid this GS911 to buy ( I was looking for Motoscan from Google Play ), but in the end I think I will need to have it!
