BMW F800GS: Mounting touratech foglights

Today mounted Touratech foglights on the BMW F800GS. I investigated several solution, from Wunderlich to custom made LEDs I would need to adapt and decided for these due to price, being fully integrated into the design of the bike and ease of mounting.

Mounting is pretty straightforward with the instructions provided by Touratech. Just make sure you have the correct tools and isolating tape. Biggest issue is routing the cables to make sure they don't come loose, setting the fuse and attaching to the battery

Unfortunately don't have pictures of mounting the foglights, erased them by accident - but I do have pictures of them mounted

Update

Having used them for several kms.....:
#1 reason I really like these foglights:
I\m seen by cars at any time of the day. Even during broad daylight people see me coming and that equals SAFETY. If they know a motorcycle is there, less chances of hitting it...

#2 reason I really like the foglights:
Nightime use... it really lights up what is in front vs. the BMW headlight. being used to Xenon headligghts on my car which for me equals safety, the BMW only front headlight was very weak. This definitely gives it a boost.

#3 only thing I would change:Xenon / LED light. it is still noticeable that they are traditional technology and not as powerful as more modern solutions...

 

Update #2: Pictures

BMW F800GS: Brake fluid reservoir cover

1000 kms revision

Took it to the BMW dealer for the first 1000kms revision.

Not a major revision, just an oil & filter change and general check of the motorcycle. No issues to report

Only 5 days after: the first Tire puncture

Nothing I or the Battlewings mounted at factory to the BMW could do. A huge nail got stuck in the back wheel.

Happened on the highway at approx 120 km/h, what I liked as an impression is that the bike just slightly wobble, it´s extremely well behaved.

Purchased: BMW F 800 GS

I wanted a motorcycle to upgrade from my ´94 Honda Transalp, which is still running to date. A proof of Honda reliability at it´s best, almost 150000 kms with no major mechanical issue or overhaul - just normal maintenance. It passed by my fathers' hands for a few years, and then resisted a 18 year old ... having fun. Grew up with me & my driving. Worth every premium we paid for it being Honda.

I would have stayed within Honda if they had something to upgrade to inbetween a Transalp and a Varadero - something like the discontinued African Twin. So I went to check alternatives with the same type of reliability. The BMW 800GS caught my eye. I always liked the 1200GS for what it stood for (a bike that can go around the world with you), however saw it too big for my daily commute needs. The 800GS is a good alternative. more powerful than the Transalp, much more versatile and not as big / bulky as the 1200GS.

So... today went to pick up the new addition to the stable!  A new BMW F800 GS.

Options included were:
- Onboard computer
- Heated grips
- Hand protectors with protectors
- LED flashing turn indicators
- Center stand
- BMW Vario Topcase
- Aluminium Engine guard
- ABS
- Anti-left Alarm
