Looks awesome glad your enjoying them

Looks like a great kit! But are they not blocking you indicators?

My guess is they will be the first thing to break when your "Adventure" leads to an off pavement drop. Dave

Yes, just a little bit but the most important ones are the rear ones ;)

You can relocate them adjacent to your headlight, I like them. I have the Denali D2s and like them but am curious how many lumens/beam focus and distance you get with these?

Each one has 3600 Lumens, the distance i dont know but its a lot more than the original lights!

Why not put them on top of the "plate" instead of hanging down -- then they will not interfere with the turn signals. It would take about 5 minutes to try it -- looks like the brackets that the lights fit it might need reversing too.

I've spiked my bike on many occasions, deep mud/sand, downhill drop onto big piles of rocks, low sides (etc) and I've never broken the stock indicators (just bent the damn shift lever a few times). I don't see how you'd break the squadrons since they're about the same size in about the same location, unless the mounting bracket snapped or something.

It's true that the LED are in a great location for drops. They are smaller than the 'sidetank' thingy and aren't exposed.
LED rocks :o)

I have broken 2 indicator lenses. (I broke one, my wife broke one.) Fortunately they are not hard mounted to the plastic, and the whole assembly kind pops out in the front. You can the take the screw out and reinsert the front tab of the indicator. So that is nice.

I personally would not mount the lights there, as they are mounted to the plastic up front which is not super sturdy.

I would go something a little more solid like a crash bar. Just me though

I've mounted my lights there, lots of drops and one high speed low side later there are no problems

Holy crap are those pricey! I do like the lumens, but at nearly $700 a pair, hitting a rock would weigh heavily if I when going off road.

Too pricey.

Buy these and do the wiring yourself + mounting plate.
