Excellent news. I have been contemplating a couple of LED auxiliary lights. I am not skilled enough to try it at this point. I look forward to seeing your pictures and your opinion of the upgrades. Good luck to you. I hope it works out well.
Just pulled the trigger on Clearwater Darla's. The BMW specific mounts made it an easy call.
Two Port,
Are the mounts that they are using the ones that attach to the bolt of the fender? Do you have a photo?
After I installed mine I talked to a Clearwater Rep at a Motorcycle Show and I had suggested some ideas and he said would pass along. Wondering if still have the same mounts of if they have revised them.
You will definitely like them. Get the yellow covers for daytime to both protect the lenses and they really stand out and make you more visible.
They haven't arrived yet. They look like the fender mounts - yes. Sort of generic.
What ideas about mounting did you have?
I was thinking about these as the first step and then getting others to mount off the turn signal stalk "somehow" if I need to really light up the road.

I got the clear covers - I like your advice about getting the yellow covers too - I'll get those as well.
The mount they provide is good, it works. Slightly higher up might be nice, but I haven't found a good place or way to do so without taking away from the look - the location they use works and you almost wouldn't notice the add on if not on. The only issue I have at at times if they can rotate a bit over time or if you bump something. I bumped into something in garage and the light was pointing slightly down and i didn't realize until I arrived. Clearwater made the point that they didn't necessarily want a mount that was so solid that is hit instead of the mount moving or breaking, the light would be broken, so I see their design concept.
When you buy the covers you get both clear and yellow inserts, you can switch them out, but a bit of a pain if switching when using night and day and will probably stretch the cover over time. I bought a second set of covers and not I have one set of yellow and one set of clear and a set of spare lenses for each.
I would say that these are one of the best safety investment upgrades that you can add to the bike. Running with these on during the day with the yellow filters in place just makes you that much more visible to our friends in 4 wheeled conveyances. Then, at night time, it’s a night and day difference! Pun intended!
Excellent! Have you ridden at night with them? It’s what I might say..... illuminating!!!
