Looks like they'll come in handy for melting the snow if it ever gets as far as SF!

Brian (who wonders if it is any warmer there than here today; 0 deg C, 32 deg F  :o )

59f and foggy, no snow in the forecast. I do miss that white stuff but not crazy like what the East Coast is getting. Boston since first of the year is 17feet of the white stuff

A good investment Pmorritt!! I too fitted the Wunderlich microflooters on my K13GT a coupkle of years ago. Great extra lighting and all supplied in a typically efficient Wunderlich kit ! The following year I added the Wunderlich LED DRLs which attach neatly to the underside of the microflooters. Agian a very neat bit of kit, and most importantly, (most) cagers do actually see the bike behind them, what with the Xenon dipped beam, two spots (as and when needed) and the DRLs !!!   ;D

Have to admit they look better than the MV Verholen, and the GIVI pieces. For commuting in country roads thing they are an excellent addition. Will think about it for one more time.
For now the new Li-ION battery improved lights so much and keep be satisfied. Might all need to consider such a battery.
One more the side under BMW emblem led commute/turn lights by schrodie really make a difference when filtrating in traffic.
Embrace the wind.

Success. LED is white when commuting and turns yellow when signalling, this is achieved by connecting an extra cable (included) to the front turn lights. There is a kit option at a lower price in it led always remains white and doesn't blink when turn light is used. There are three color choices available, the kit is excellent quality and includes all necessary items and fully detail instructions. www. schrodie.de

Wow Costas. That looks really spooky!
