Cree lights seem to be the preferred front lights?
what do you recommend ?
its for my crf250L and I want a pair that will fit somewhere on the forks? or somewhere below the headlight.
not too much battery drain, but fitted direct to the battery, with on/off switch, and possible head/dip
Quite bright but not too heavy?
tia
o .. and answers before midnight? .. and not too expensive, but good quality and waterproof?

Re: Cree lights?
A pair of these

Will be more than bright enough to light up yours and Cones love tunnel
I got a pair on the bike wired into a permanent live with a switch. Very low draw so handy if you ever need light without the ignition or engine running. Can happily leave them on long enough to set up tent

Re: Cree lights?
Not sure where you want to mount them
Mine are on my crash bars using
Have a search you can get ones that will fit your front forks
They do actually come with a flat bracket .
My switch is a small waterproof flush fitting rocker switch mounted non dash. You can get waterproof switch that mount on handle bars think heated grip switch
I would post some pics of all components but this sight makes posting pics such a chore.

Re: Cree lights?
Greetings,
Simply as a back up incase of 12V bulb failure I have a bicycle orientated cree style light similar to the one here;
https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/263639958106
It works really well for a simple single unit.
TTFN
Hugh.

Re: Cree lights?
I've got the same ebay cree's as mentioned above. Mounted on the R&G lightbar. They're really good, BRIGHT, and cheap as chips. I also found and bought amber lenses (ebay link) , so you can run them as daytime lights without pi**ing off cagers, and as fog lights.
Re: Cree lights?
just bought some of these that I'm planning on fitting to the wr450 after another terrifying ride home in the dark recently after a day on the lanes, lit only by the stock "candle" headlight.zimtim wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 8:47 pm A pair of these

I am thinking of splicing into the high beam live to draw power for them... stock output stator, to much???
I am also planning on fitting some heated grips, (the laminate element type that go under stock grips).possibly through indicator switch. again, will I be asking to much of the stock stator.
