Auxbeam 3 Inch Pod LED Auxiliary Light Upgrade For The Tenere 700

[@mrwill1969]

We've come so far with light technology , back in the dark ages before LED, we used to gaffer tape torches to the front mudguard so we could get home in the dark . Impressive little gadgets . Cheers 🍻

[@MVDBR]

Bahahaha yeah and back then sticking a 40w candle on ya bike would have been laughable 😬 LEDs are a great invention 👌

Nice looking likes Josh... I think the T700 deserves them! 👍

Thanks Mark yeah I had to make it up to her after strapping that milk crate on the back the other day 😬

[@sonajuma]

Thank you from Newfoundland, on the Far East coast of Canada. Just installed aux lights on my Tenere, high beam activated and diode protected. You admit to not being an expert but you are spot on with the essentials. My wife also has a KTM 390 Adventure so we watch with great interest. Great job and thanks again!

[@MVDBR]

Excellent stuff Wayne glad you got it sorted 👌 Thanks for the comment mate 🤙

[@brucekendall52]

When they look bright on your camera then you know they are strong.Cheers.

[@white-rider]

I also went through several multi-LED solutions before settling on Baja Designs S1 spot -- small, almost miniature, single-LED, extremely bright. Haven't looked back since.

[@MVDBR]

Nice yeah there are some great products out there 👌

[@bradleyalexander5821]

The moment you flicked those Auxbeams on, I thought “worth every nickel”. That was impressive. I thought I noticed the nuts and bolts hardware looked stainless steel, could be wrong, not cheap. Lighting on my bikes have all been upgraded, I don’t mind the extra expense for obvious safety. 👍🏼

[@MVDBR]

Yeah stainless fasteners 🤙 Yeah I kinda wasn't too fussed about putting aux lights on, till we started getting caught a fair distance from home in the dark, stock headlights just don't cut it especially for my old man eyes heh. Cheers mate

[@tassieadventurerider4815]

That’s a huge difference Josh. For around $200 that’s quite a good safety investment especially when off road at night 👌

[@MVDBR]

That's it mate, we try to not get caught in the dark but that's the nature of adventure 😁

[@waydebuchanan1772]

They are great, awesome for night riding, they make it a lot safer at night...

[@MVDBR]

Yeah sure better than having nothing but the stocker headlight 😬 cheers mate

[@pjsmotoadventures]

Mate those lights made a big difference, bloody awesome 🤙

[@MVDBR]

They look similar to yours I noticed Paul, are you running the Denalis?

[@pjsmotoadventures]

Yep love them if I have to ride at night, they are set up to run at 10% during the day with the normal light, helps to make you stand out, bloody expensive though and probably not much better than the ones you got

[@MVDBR]

@@pjsmotoadventures ah I thought ya might have em running low power at times I figure that's what makes em flash like strobe lights on the GoPro 😬 Yeah as good as the T7 headlight is, it really don't cut the mustard compared to a good set of aux lights. Cheers mate 👍

[@cliff1551]

Bloody rippa mate 👍 there that bright you can see into next week 😅👍👍

[@MVDBR]

Future's looking pretty bright Cliff haha 🤦‍♂ oh dear more dad jokes

[@holisticaustralia]

They are not fork mounts are they?

[@MVDBR]

It didn't say anything about that on the product listing but hey they might just be the right size 🤔

[@MVDBR]

I did check this out, they're a tiny bit too small to fit around the T7 forks but damn close!

[@ianferrier235]

Good stuff Josh, I wouldn't worry about a rock breaking them.Just run them. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MVDBR]

I probably do too much following bikes closely to get good footage, but yeah I was getting hammered with rocks from a DR650 on the weekend and they survived that hailstorm 😁💪

[@loopinglarry]

Personally I'm a big fan of the cyclops adventure 2inch lights. I really like how the light moves with the handle bar. Also the amber filters are simple to put on and off. Its like a rubber case and slides right on the light. The day time running light is supper bright. I will admit they are expensive but the quality is worth it. Cyclops Adventure claims 4,000 lumens.

[@MVDBR]

Yeah the Cyclops look the goods 👌

[@atprodT700]

hello is it necessary to have so much power? often when we leave with my buddy and we extend the off-road day too long and it's dark... fatigue the lack of visibility means that you're going to fall. at night you have to sleep and get back on the bike the next day. these projectors will not change anything. I talk like an old fart... but it's vaicu. and the advantage is that you have money left in your pockets to go on a motorbike😁👍❤

[@MVDBR]

That much power, not really necessary for most people I don't think. But a number of times we have not made it home before dark, and it's been good to have some decent lighting even if we're just on the road for the remainder of the trip 👍 But, you know, everyone has their own assholes and opinions 😁🤙

[@atprodT700]

@@MVDBR one thing that I did not specify and which is very important. it's that on our T 700 or other motorcycles, the position of the headlights is fixed on the fairing or crash bar and when you turn on short bends you don't light up where you want to go. this type of lighting is good on the unlit road or on the straight track.

[@MVDBR]

@@atprodT700 yeah that's true but since it's fixed anyway, the more light you got the better. Can also point the pod lights out to the side a little :)
