Thanks for that Sandman, a handy bit of knowledge for when I fit the driving lights. ( need them in Australia to see the kamikaze kangaroos at night !!!! )



Hey Nico... when you get around to doing the driving lights (which I -strongly- recommend) you'll find the standard triumph kit's wired up wrong for our road rules. The driving lights're on all the time and are designed to be set up as an extra low beam. There's a couple of extra (unused) wires in the connector tho, and one of them's for the high beam. This means you can change the position of one of the wires in the plug and they'll only come on with high beam which makes them (sort of) legal here. ("Sort of" coz the law doesn't actually allow for extra headlights on bikes at all here, but at least they'll be legal to car laws).

You'll also find the standard kit's BLOODY expensive, but if like me you like the widely spaced driving lights (or intend to put a roadster screen on at some point) you can just order the bar from Triumph and get your own lights & wiring and save yourself about $400. That also means you can put the switch wherever you like (mine's in the dashboard where the alarm LED's sposed to live. Much better than sticking out the side of the light housing).
