GenI Admore Side-Bag Lights: The Install

[BackintheSaddle]

And how do you propose the power get's to the light with the attachments provided then? I'm all ears here. :huh:

Surface mount the wires up the back of the case and use a coax or something like a weather-pak connector? Looks like the connection at the LED assembly might need to be different though.

Looks very nice!

And very familiar!

Here's where I routed the wires on mine.

I vote DRILL!

With a bit of thought put into it, one could easily place a nice grommet at the point where the wires come out of the case as well as a clean way to run the wires inside where they don't interfere with cargo. When it's all complete, a little dab of Silicone Goo in the grommet and you're water-tight.

Do they offer any sort of enclosure for the LED strip? Sure would be nice to encapsulate that strip so you don't just have bare LED bulbs hanging out there. I 'spose anything but a flat surface would render that thought useless.

It's not "bare LED bulbs" as you put it...it's a molded rubber-ized strip that is all one piece and waterproof. It's flexible enough for me to have routed over the edge.

I understand that aspect of it but aren't the bulbs themselves exposed?

I think this just convinced me I need to add more rear lighting. Not sure if it would have made a difference, but it couldn't hurt.

Can't believe the cager wasn't arrested - no license, no insurance, etc.

Check out Allnight's pic of how he routed his wires.

Nice! :thumbsup:

Nope - the LED's are encased in the clear rubber-ized molded plastic.

Regarding comments about drilling into the bags - meh. It's just a motorcycle, and they're just side bags. If drilling holes helps a cager to see my brake light / turn signal that they otherwise wouldn't have seen, it's worth it to me. I really like the setup that extrememarine has on his Givi. I think NASA took notes from it.

Is it waterproof? Dunno yet. But, it's about time for the FJR's Annual Wash 'N Wax, so I'll let you know.
