I decided add two auxiliary LED light for more visibilty during day time. 

They are all the time on when bike electric is switched on.

Headlight and parking lights looked really yellow with auxiliary LED light. 

 

So, I changed all lights to LED and colour match well. Headlight and parking lights was very easy change beacause any modification is not needed. I don't know how good they are in dark because here in North Finland is dark night next time in August 😆

Looking to do the same. Where did you source the sleeve?

I made them from aluminum pipe and heat shrink myself, then you can cut just correct size.

I created independent circuit. 

I added own wires from battery with own fuse and relay. Relay wake-up control wire is from DC aux output connector (left side under fuel tank)

I really like your mount set up. Clean and simple!!

I have a pair of similar sized pods from Cyclops and a pair of Trail Tech 60mm LED's from my dirt bikes still. The TT units are post mounts so that probably won't work with them but it definitely would with the Cyclops units. I've been trying to figure out a good way to mount them since I got my FZ. Now I might have to copy you and do that!! LOL!!

Very nice. Looking to do the same and bought a pair of bullboy. Mine are 20 w each. Think yours are 10w, are they blinding oncoming traffic? 

I will run them through a switch and then to my healtech thunderbox for the juice.. 

Thanks for inspiration

Any way you could share how you set this up?

I would like to install 2 different sets of lights that will turn off when the bike is off but still allow me to use a switch with them when the bike is on.

I believe these would be illegal in NC.  The MV code says we can have up to 2 white headlights, and I expect these would count.  If I understand the law, I could use amber versions of these, but my 2020 already has the turn signals stay on all the time as running lights anyway.

Interesting.
The other day a Yamaha V Star, I think it was. Had four headlights in the fairing (looked factory). Reminded me of a couch on wheels for she was a big big girl.

Also have seen BMWs with like 8 lights on the front

I get it that they (law enforcement) don't want ill safety (as was mentioned above about blinding people). Or bad distractions

BUT having respectful lighting on a bike makes it safer for all

Here you are principle schematics for one set of light. Switch is assembled between Yamaha aux and relay.  When lights are on switch indicator blue light is also on (when bike is off all lights are off).  It depends how do you want control lights. You can use different relay type or own circuit for each lights.

Super late to the party but I was inspired by OP to do this to mine! Found some lights on Amazon. Did the pipe and heat shrink. Thanks!
