The Darlas are pretty impressive, but not for me. At this point I just don't like the positioning of them.
I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

I am looking to buy a set of Denali. Where on the bike would be the best place for installed the lights and which bracket to use ? I see the Dedali fender bracket but I would want an installation at different place . I do not have engine bar protector.

I have a similar question and thought I would post here before starting a new thread. |

Any recommendation on which Clearwater set I should purchase? My previous sport-touring bike was a Honda VFR. Great lights! I am particularly distressed at the narrow projection of the BMW's OEM lights. The lights scarcely illuminate the fog line and the center line. BTW, my motorcycle has the chin fairing (no crash bars) so I suppose I'll need a mount too. Any experience with the MachineartMoto MaMo Light Bar mount? Sorry for asking so many questions . . . |

I have the same setup. Please post your mounting solution when you finally decide to mount aftermarket lights. |

Going to try these bad boys on for size, hopefully by the weekend. Will keep you posted on whether they are the mutts nuts or I’ve just wasted my money!

Jonathan, I went with the Clearwater D76 Darla kit (w/CanBus 3) which comes with the MachineartMoto mounts. Basically, these are a two part version of the BMW part andare a straight forward install. It almost took longer to pull the bike apart than it did to install it all! 2018 R1200RS Frozen Bronze Exclusive |

Zitat von mattblack000 im Beitrag #22 How did it go? |

I am an occasional nighttime commuter and find the standard lights lacking. Not wanting to go the the hassle/expense/cutting holes in the bike route of additional lights or LEDs has anybody tried the upgraded H7 bulbs sold by the likes of Osram or Philips ? RiDE magazine had a bulb feature this month and gave them a recommendation (albeit H4 on an SV650). |

Zitat von Pugwash im Beitrag #25 I read the same article Just buy some - a tenner a bulb maybe? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-12972XV...t/dp/B00NMEEV9W £20.50 delivered £22 in Eurocarparts - so wait for a 30% or more discount code to get cheaper |

One of the first things I did to the bike was to install some Clearwater LED auxiliary lights, I have the Darla's on my r nine T but went the the Krista's on my RS because I wanted a bit more light. And the Krista's deliver that in spades. I really like being able to control the light output via the Wonder Wheel. I also installed Cyclops H7 LEDs on both low and high beam positions. I actually enjoy riding at night now because of being able to see (and be seen). 2017 R1200RS Lupin Blue/Grey Metallic |

I am just in the process of finishing these. Need to get some shallow stainless allen bolts and anodise the kittings but testing is going well.
