mounting auxiliary lights

I have a pair of lights on the way and I'm weighing my options for
mounting. I saw a picture of a pair of lights mounted just below the
headlight. The ones on the way are real small, something like 2in tall
and 3 1/2in wide. I've measured and they should fit under the
headlight. I was also wondering if there is an easy way to mount them
to the forks just above the boots?

Seriously, not one idea? With as bad as the headlight is on the KLR I
thought most guys had some extra lights. And by the way I already
rewired the headlamp with relays. It did help but there's no light to
the sides.

My thoughts on that (not due for new headlights yet, I'm in Colorado and
it's not dark enough for me not to see) is to yank the stocker, trim the
plastic to fit a flood and a spot in there, then re-shape the fairing to fit
nicely for looks.
Ideally a couple of HIDs, a projector or two. The hayabusa had pretty
decent lights on it, so something similar to that.

Have not done it myself but have seen numerous reports/webpages, etc. I may have some links on my home machine and will look. You might also try asking on advrider.com in the Thumpers forum. Lotsa KLR stuff there.

tengai paint codes
Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2008 5:55 am

I have a '90 Tengai B2 and have bought a second-hand top box for it.
Fitted easily, is very functional...... but it was painted bright red
to match the '80 GS1000 it was previously fitted to.
I don't want to go overboard with the paint matching routine but it
would be a big help if someone could provide the code for the blue
paint used on those models.
Have searched the 'net but it appears Kawasaki were not big on giving
out the PPG codes. Any ideas ??
It the meantime I guess I will just be standing out like the
proverbial....
