Where can I mount the auxiliary lights ?

[TonnyOnWheelz]

Hi everyone, I am a new rider, and I love my fazer, that’s why I got it in the first place. But one thing I hate is that the headlights suck!
I can’t see nothing at nighttime and that are LED as well, I am not sure why… I was thinking because it has a sporty suspension, something called hyperpro and the person before me was lighter than me, because I feel the front does go up a little when I sit on it, maybe I need to sort the preload first.

But anyway, where I can mount the auxiliary lights ?

I don’t have any crashbars to mount them there either.

Thank you.

(Sorry if it is in the wrong thread, I couldn’t think of anywhere else where this could fit)

First thing: Look online for videos of how to set the preload on the rear shock so you have the correct free sag and rider sag (note: changing the preload on the front suspension is trickier as you may need to adjust the spacers in the fork tubes)

Secondly, if your bike has a fairing, there are adjuster bolts in the outside bottom corners and inside top corners of the headlights, by turning those you can alter the headlight aim. You can find details in the Yamaha service manual or Haynes manual.

Get on a straight piece of country road at night when there's no traffic around and tweak the bolts so when you're in the outside wheel track of the lane your headlight illuminates an oval that covers from the centre line of the road to the edge and extends to gives as much illumination into the distance until the light fades out.

Hope that helps.

Your LED lights could be another cause of poor beam projection. While most LED lights are bright, few produce a usable beam. Here is an excellent video that shows how different LED lights are between manufacturers

Very true. I did the dual headlight conversion (the right way, by adding the 'missing" wire) then installed a pair of Morimoto LED's. They are pricy, but have worked great. That being said, I have never seen a set of headlights that were as effective as Denali's. But if you are looking for the most that you can get from headlights, pick your LEDs carefully.

I also want more light on my 08' FZ6 and the dual headlight conversion(even considering replacing the right-side H7 'high beam only' bulb w/ a modified H4 bulb)seems just what I need.

Just took it in a Forrest and I noticed that it is barely projecting anything on the ground, it is just wayyyyy to high

Will Denali's fit my FZ6 S2 ?

That's an easy fix Get them aimed better and reassess.....

Never tried. All I have is the dual headlight mod to give me more low-beam light
