Aux HID lights

I ordered some auxiliary HID driving lights from Martin Fabrication. Below are some pictures (if I got the steps right for adding pictures). They mount to the fork using the bottom hole of the wind deflector. I wasn't crazy about the location at first but they are growing on me now. It was tough to find a place to hide the ballasts and I had to order the cable extensions to lengthen the cable between the ballast and the light. I placed the switch on the handle bar just inside the left hand controls. It looks like high quality gear. The folks at Martin were good to work with and answered every email the same day I sent them.

The RR is my commute bike so half of my riding is during the dark hours. The extra light is welcome.

Did you route the wires up the forks or the brake lines?

They go across with the break lines. The routing is the tricky part. Being naked means there aren't to many good ways to hide things.
