Adding a lightbar to the T7

[Kade]

I have just recently purchased a 2024 T7, which I love.  I am just after some advice on adding a  lightbar.  I am looking to mount it to the lower fork clamp using the existing M6 threaded holes.  Has anyone  added a lightbar to their T7 in this position?  And if so, do you have some advise around Yamaha's sensitive electrical system?  And if so do you has a diagram and measurements for the bracket that you used or does someone make these?  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I used the Kedo kit - It was plug and play on my T7:

They also sell just the bracket if you want to source your own lights for it. I added a switch so I can tur it off if needed.

The Kedo kit is interesting, but they don't ship to the U.S.  Is there a Kedo distributor who does?

Looks like they have a distributor in the US:

Tenere is not their specialty,  I'd call and talk to them. They do have the full catalog and what you want is on page 591.

Rigid makes a nice one as well. Have it on my Super T, and have one for my T7 that I will be fitting later this year after riding season is over.

I also use the Stedi 6" light bar, cheap and good light.

 

I use the ADV ENG mounts (Australian Made):

And I used the Skene LQ -2075X controller.  This will gaurantee you will not kill your ECU:

  Yes, it's expensive but it's cheaper than a new ECU and it gives you the ability to use the light as a running light.
