Unlikely.

In order to embed images in a post they first need to be hosted somewhere on the web. Just about any image hosting site will do, but Photobucket seems to be the preferred choice.

Once you've uploaded your images to a hosting site, all you need to do is obtain the URL (direct link) of the image(s) and copy them (the direct link/URL must end with .jpg or it won't work). Then, back on the forum, create your post and click on the "Insert Image" button. In the dialogue box that opens just paste the URL of the image you wish to embed and click OK. Repeat this process for each image URL.

Nice instructive write up Pepsi. ..I'm going to do a similar thing as my front indicators are in my handguards now. Can I ask a favour. ..can you post a shot of the front of the bike.....Steve

Cheers Pepsi, just the job! , and hopefully lights up those drop-offs! Steve

Thanks for the nice and detailed input Pepsi.
I had cree spots on a previous bike fitted similarly to your setup (with a relay though) and have been delaying fitting spots to the Ten, because everyone fits them below the headlight on a special stainless or aluminum bracket that has to be bought or made.

Fitting them on the plastics is actually much easier and I'm going to rather do it like you did yours.

I used to ride with spots on during the day for safety here in S Africa, but the only problem I see with this setup is that they might make it difficult to see the indicator lights below them from the front. So I'll just leave them off during the day.

Nice job Pepsi. After fitting some spots myself you realize just how dismal the factory headlight is.

The Zeta handguards with built in indicators have proved themselves to be pretty durable. . certainly far far stronger than the original indicators on the Ten. I took them off the XR where they had been bashed by branches etc with no problems. Nice and bright too...the space where the indicators went will be perfect for some Desert Racer / Pepsi lights!

Barkbusters also do indicator & side light as accessories for their handguards too.

Xt660 HID headlights

I�ve had 55W HID lamps on high and low beam for the last 8 years, as the halogen weren�t bright enough when off road or on a Broad in the middle of nowhere at night.

I just soldered two of the switch (hi-low beam switch. On handlebar) connections together, this stopped one bring on complete darkness between high and low beam.

HID50.com guys are brilliant and so is their kit.

Attached are some photos of the ballast; just replaced a non - HID50 ballast with a spare HID50 unit, notice how slim it is.

Used heavy duty 3M Velcro, make it�s easier when removing tank.

Just make sure you remove sticky backing from velcro, and use Araldite to attached to tank underside and ballast.
