Since I haven't been able to ride for a few days thought I would make use of my time.
So installed by Tourtech rear rack, from my Multistrada, Denali D2 lights and SW Motech brackets, from my Multistrada and got rid of the EVAP cannister.

Very little room under the seat!


Hiding wires was an adventure in and of itself!


As you can see it looks close however there is plenty of clearance.


Any questions feel free to ask.

nice. Love the spot light. Where did you get the brackets??

They are by SWMotech, once made for the current generation Multistrada. I still have some fine tuning to do, as well I think I can make the install cleaner.

Looking good

I would like to get some lights, waiting for a purpose made kit but looks like you found a solution.
 
Do the lamps have a dedicated power switch or wired into running lights?
How's the vibration level in projectors at speed?

The Denali's have two sets of "power" wires, of course a positive and negative that go to the battery. Then they have a high power wire (blue) and a 40% power wire (white). The blue wire is hooked into the high beam light and the white the low beam. This also powers the switch which I have mounted to the left of the gas cap. The idea is they come on with the headlights, then 100% power with the high beam, and 40% with low.
I have not been out at night to check vibes, however this was the same setup on my Multistrada and I never had any problems.

Perhaps tonight I will get some pics with low and high power with the headlight for reference.

So they're hardwired into high/low beams but there's a power switch? Is this so you can turn them off if desired?
 
Almost forgot, added some Rizoma bling.

Even though they are small, visual area covered behind you is better than the factory mirrors. The left one allows me to see traffic, while the right is set for passing.

Mirrors look awesome! I was looking at getting the whole hand guard off the old hyper with the mirrors built in but the money was too crazy, over $150 each just for the mirror then more for the guard with no blinker parts.

Thanks, I had those also left over from the Multistrada, as the factory mirrors on it were a major contributor to the buffeting on that bike. I like the handguards especially as we are getting towards cooler weather down here. I commute at 0600 and 0700 going to and from work so the extra wind protection is a bonus for me.

with minor mods, is it possible to attach the RH (15) and LH (16) topcase linkages to the touratech rear rack?

Hi Firerider, could you please help me out with a some info on your Denali d2 installation. Did you install a canbus link? The instructions for this ask to connect into the daytime running light which I assume is the low beam?
Thanks in anticipation
 
I paid $90 for the Moto CREE's that StefanR linked to. With way more lumens. The D2's are dual intensity but you could probably wire a rheostat into the Moto CREE's.
