A mate has gs1150 with all toys. He has 2 spots each side so I am going to copy him as it looks good and extremely bright. I think I shall make a double bracket attached to my crash bungs so one spot on top and one under. Each side. It wil be like a U bracket on its side. The only thing is Im concerned of it the power 4 spots/driving lamps will draw. Does anyone know what a tdm900 2005 can be subjected to? I know nothing about electrics. I have seen many adverts for light says so many lumins and so many watts of power blaaa blaaa blaaaa. It seems 12w is fine to draw??but anything more could be an issue? What is the issue and what happens if more watts are drawn from the bike?How do I know what the maximum the bike will take before something bad happens? ps, I changed a light bulb once

Im going to be really interested in the replies to this post as im in a very similar position, as I want to fit a pair of 10w LED lights and not sure if I just tap into the lighting loom or run them off of a relay?

I have a seperately swiched 50 w spotlight mounted between the forks aimed at the near side kerb to give me better visability when traffic stops you using main beam.. Works well for me..A mate has gs1150 with all toys. He has 2 spots each side so I am going to copy him as it looks good and extremely bright.

The answer to yout question re draining the battery becomes evident if the battery drain makes starting the bike a problem.
