I put on a little supercheap 55W one like Nordie's when I was prepping for the 1000 miler a while back, the KTM wiring is pretty light so I ran a fused heavier feed up from the battery via a relay to both the spot & the high beam. I mounted the light to a bit of alu angle on the inner handguard mount. Unfortunately it got destroyed in the sheep incident & as I don't do much riding at night I haven't bothered to replace it.
It worked OK, if I did it again I'd use one a bit bigger I think (reflector not wattage)

Cheers
Clint

As this is a sticky maybe it would be a good idea to limit the posts to informative ones so any new members can gain a bit of prior knowledge without being subjected to the mindles banter that most threads get reduced to. I'm not against mindless banter but prefer to read the info in stickys that have been deemed to be important enough to be stickyed.

Hi I also carry a Poncho also called a fly sheet and bungy cords. this is for making a quick shelter. so when the weather turn to shit. only take about 5 min to put up with practice, and you have got somewhere cold or make a brew, and if your game sleep.
