fog light installation

[Claudio Javier Rosemffet]

hello everybody and thanks in advance for your support.
I have one 650GT. I want to add 2 front fog lamps, like the one in this Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2PCS-CREE-...=item361e19f86f:g:wKEAAOSw8GhZftcM:rk:12:pf:0
the problem Is this scooter doesn't have many places to attach the lamps. the idea is to be more visible in the traffic. I'm thinking in security concerns.
so, I want to know if any of you have attached lamps like this in your bikes, and what are your suggestions to do it.
any picture of your installation will be very useful.
will be waiting for your news about it.
best regards,

Mounting to the front fender bolts might work for you, like these: https://www.twistedthrottle.com/denali-fender-mount-for-dm-d2-lights-m5-m6-black

Good Morning. How did you power the fog lamps and trick the canbus system into not producing a trouble? Also where did you mount the switch?

One easy solution I have used on another motorcycle is just install very bright, rechargeable batter powered bicycle lights, they typically come with elastic straps that allow secure installation in a variety of places. Easy on, easy off and just recharge when necessary, no need to tie into the bike's sensitive electronics. Not ideal, but it works.

Thanks for the tip Ceesie. i ordered a fork bracket from Amazon and will mount my 60w fogs to them. The fork size on my C600 is 1-5/8 inch diameter. I already have the Chinese LED fog lamps. I plan to wire them into the headlight wires so when the scooter is running the fogs come on. If I have a CANBUS issue I will have to rethink and add a canbus decoder. two 60w LED Fogs is just under 1 amp. Worse case is I will run power directly from the battery via a 12v relay off of the headlight hot wire.
