Ian,
I have FF-50's on the bike now, would I be able to use the existing wiring setup and relay?

Yes. Assuming your existing wiring is a reasonable size gauge. While 18-gauge wire with good, corrosion-free connectors would probably work just fine, the Old School in me would feel better with 16-gauge wiring.I have FF-50's on the bike now, would I be able to use the existing wiring setup and relay?
This is how I initially tested them, before I rewired my whole bike. The only thing you need to change is the 15amp fuse, it needs to be a 20amp.Ian,I have FF-50's on the bike now, would I be able to use the existing wiring setup and relay?
It mean's the same as many other farkles we put on our FJRs. Like the PHIDs, and any aftermarket slip-on exhaust. In reality, you have absolutely nothing to worry about unless as in the case of the Solteks or the PHIDs, you go around blinding everyone and draw attention to yourself.Is this true? What, actually, does that mean?
That wouldn't help. You can install as many illegal lights as you want, and there is nothing illegal about it. It's only when they are on, or operating that they become illegal.I would wager to guess that if you do run these type lights and want to be sure, install a cover while running these on the road. And just remove them when in use. PM. <><
The simple fact is that nobody is going to have any problems with them as long as some common sense is excercised.
In CA I bet they have a law for everything if you look hard enough, but I think you might be right. If you plan to be like skooter and just light them up at any given moment around heavy traffic, then expect lots of attention from the man, cause he'll see them for sure. But given how many bikes have aux. lights in CA and elsewhere, I haven't heard of a rash of tickets being handed out because of them.Someone correct me, but doesn't California require these kinds of lights to be covered while on public highways?
You better start saving, cause he needs a lot of bailin.The simple fact is that nobody is going to have any problems with them as long as some common sense is excercised.
Awe crap. Looks like I'm gonna be bailin your *** out of jail then....

Reason I had mentioned this as Twin and Rouge said, in CA. off road lighting has to be covered or in-operative when on any highway. These are off road lights correct? PM. <><That wouldn't help.

Well, yes..... they are, in fact, sold for "off-road use only" from the retailer.Reason I had mentioned this as Twin and Rouge said, in CA. off road lighting has to be covered or in-operative when on any highway. These are off road lights correct? PM. <><
I'd be worried about drawing the attention of the extraterrestrial lurkers. Not even an FJR could outrun a pack of rogue E.T's in their space speeders.But blasting about in the outback of the Desert West by yourself, there is not another lamp that even comes close to these babies. None. Not the PHIDs, nor the Hellas HIDs. If you can deal with their heft and girth, these Solteks are most definitely The **** to have.

There is no reasonable way to use these in the presence of prevailing traffic. No way at all. You will melt vehicles approaching them from the rear. And you will blind oncoming traffic a half mile away.
