After a fair amount of messing about, Ebay led daytime running lights finally fitted. Quite bright, yellow and white depending on which beam you use on the bike. Really clever for what they cost, two led chips inside positioned to give a dip/high position on the road. My clever brother made the brackets on his home-built cnc machine 🙂

This is as cheap as you can get them but they are really bright. Your going to have to mount them of course, I chose where I did because I didn't fancy drilling holes. If you do go this route mate I'll try and help you as best I can with regards to powering them 🙂

Thanks for that - I just placed my (first ever) order on AliExpress and because it was my first, I received a 'welcome gift' and the total cost delivered was only $1.50. I tried ordering two sets but was limited to 1 per order so we'll see how they do and if I like them I will order a second set for my second motorcycle.
Although I am getting them mainly for the low yellow beams to be more visible when lane splitting, part of my weekly commute ride is 7 miles in the pitchblack dark on a very twist canyon road and I think I will also greatly benefit from the extra high beam light. Will try taking some video of my weekly travels and upload to youtube so we can all see what I am talking about!

I'm not an admin or anything like that, but over the past two years I've put up a lot of pics here ... and so have discovered, through trial and error, that this forum limits pic size to right around 1 MB. That's incredibly small these days, and certainly smaller than any other forum I'm a member of (but OTOH, I'm not paying for the server or the storage here, either).
It turns out that I have a fair amount of photo-editing software on my desktop computer, and can easily resize photos -- something almost all such apps can do these days -- to less than or equal to 1 MB without making them look like something out of the 1980s. So it's not much of an issue for me, but it is a bit of a nuisance each time I want to post a pic. So that's the rest of the story.
