For those of you that are interested in the lights I have, here is the link th-cam.com/users/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmdlN0lmOTBXWkh2UWdPT2pCUEYzeEdvMUZ6Z3xBQ3Jtc0tuckc4N1FlNlRueGxpNlpaRW8yTXN1RVAzemtpWldScFBsdDdtcGM5SGJkSlFINHUyUm15cG10dUwtenUxVHE1TzFGRVBVejdtcmpfMjJzTG5IVzZoMlhxeTN4VEVILXJ1RXlIbTVmM0RsczMwZVNkRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CR5D794K%3Fpsc%3D1%26ref%3Dppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&v=sUiN3Jnziiw
Wow those lights are bright. Nice install. Mine are white only but yes it makes a huge difference in being seen. Also I installed the Level 2 Rally Raid Suspension on my bike. It transformed it!
Thanks for posting. Definitely think the flashing is needed for those ""didn't see you drivers"", maybe texting at the intersection or still with a hangover from last night. Lots of reasons, maybe just rain and poor vision by granny, but they can all kill you. I wonder about slower flash rates too, so as not to annoy drivers so I can just leave them on every trip. Going to look at the pulsing headlight option too.
Great upgrade video! There was a recent TH-cam video claiming that technology is killing motorcyclists. I usually hate clickbait but this was clever. The technology killing motorcycle riders wasn't any motorcycle electronics. It was cell phones in the hands of deeply distracted car drivers. From my experience this is definitely true. I've heard many people say they've ridden for decades but the roads are now so full of distracted and road raging drivers that it's now too dangerous to ride a motorcycle so they quit riding. US auto fatalities have remained relatively constant at 30-40 thousand per year, despite the introduction of seat belts, air bags, crumple zones, anti-rollover designs, ABS, active collision avoidance, side curtain airbags, lane hold assist, active traction control, driver fatigue detection, autonomous driving, etc. We seem to tolerate a relatively constant automotive fatality rate, so as usual, the smarter we make our technology, the dumber we make our people. Idiot proof cars and idiots will drive while playing Candy Crush on their phones. Unfortunately, the safer cars do a much better job of protecting the car drivers from their stupidity but offer little added safety for the motorcyclists they ram into. Weiser Technik now has their clever auxiliary LED lighting for the G310GS. These are high visibility LED turn signals. The front serve as running lights as well as turn signals. The rear serve as running lights and auxiliary brake lights as well as turn signals. They're available as front, rear, or front and rear. They aren't cheap. Front and rear together is $440.
I installed some massive 18,800 lumen LED auxiliary lights on my G310GS a couple of months ago. I designed and 3D printed mounting brackets to mount them outbound on the lower engine protection bars. I deliberately mounted them in a triangle configuration because the goal is to present something unusual to drivers. The reptile brain perceives the unusual as potentially dangerous so it shakes drivers out of their Facebook/texting distraction. I also chose amber lens covers even though they aren't as bright as clear lens covers, because amber is way more attention getting in my experience. It's unusual. My goal of conspicuity lighting isn't to blind oncoming traffic but rather to get their attention. The lights shown in this video have separate white and amber LEDs, which is different from lens covers. Oddly, the amber LEDs in this video seemed to be aimed significantly higher than the white LEDs. I haven't wired my auxiliary lighting yet. The lights draw too much power to use the 7 amp accessory switched 12V ports on the rear of the instrument panel, inside the beak. Instead, I'll use the accessory power to control solid state relays to switch a fused 12V connection to the battery, so the LEDs are powered from the battery but they switch off with the key to avoid running down the battery. I'll wire each light through a separate waterproof rocker switch on the left side of the handlebars (I need to 3D print the switch housing) so I can operate the powerful auxiliary LEDs independently so I can use neither, either or both LED lights. I may aim the right LED higher to help me spot deer on the side of the road and aim the left LED lower to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. On the way to my last moto camping trip, a young woman in a black SUV was looking down, almost certainly at her phone, and pulled out directly in front of me in broad daylight on a major rural road, looked up, realized what she'd done, and stopped sideways in my lane. On the way home a couple of days later, a woman in a small pickup truck seemed to be looking directly at me at night, in town on a well lit road, and pulled out directly in front of me. In both cases, I was forced to emergency brake and swerve to miss their vehicles. I *really* need to wire my new LED auxiliary lighting and start using it to be seen.
Just got the delivery. 😅 Can you advice how you mount them on the bike? As the are hanging, was tere more then one mounting points on the lights? Mines have only one place for assembly and by the manual they should be mounted over the bars not under.
Hi. I mounted them upside down and they work fine. actually better because the white lights don't blind anyone. as far as mounting them I put them on the bars. some people have put a hole in the duckbill and used the other mounting bolts.
@@Sasqmoto That's how I have mine wired kinda. red to +, black to -, but i also have a yellow ACC and another red. Those are the two I'm thinking is the problem. If I run the yellow and extra red to + it seems to just trigger amber flashing but the switch doesn't work. Thats the only mode I can get to do anything.
yellow to heated grips/ accessories 7.5 amp fuse located under seat and the extra red short wire isnot used. red to positive terminal and black to negative. I used a fuse tap bought at the local auto store.

I’m jealous of your Rally Raid. I’m going to eventually get it. Have a trip to Moab and could use that on the white rim trail! thanks for watching!

Great comment, our worst enemy is not necessarily us but other drivers. Be safe out there and Thanks for Watching the video!

Hi can you ad in the description link to Amazon for those lights??
Hi Thanks for reminding me, it is in the description and comment section, there is a 15% coupon off right now. Thanks for watching.
@@Sasqmoto Great and thanks for the link - I have already ordered them :). My GS310 will be finished after those lights will apear .
awesome!
Just got the delivery. 😅
Can you advice how you mount them on the bike? As the are hanging, was tere more then one mounting points on the lights? Mines have only one place for assembly and by the manual they should be mounted over the bars not under.

how did you wire yours up? mine didn't come with instructions
ran it directly to the battery with the wires under the tank.

ok. I'm not at home right now but when I get there. I will check it and let you know. I don't remember off hand
@@Sasqmoto Dude you're the man. Thank you so much!
