Options for that space under the head lights.

[Rynn Storm]

Just under the head lights (2012 US version) really looks like Yamaha couldn't get a part and decided to ship anyways.

Q1. Do the 2011 versions have the same issue?
Q2. Has anyone tried the Headlight Bezel from TourTech http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/3322/PN-046-0651/Headlight-Bezel-Yamaha-XT1200Z-Super-Tenere ? What do you think?
Q3. Any other options besides tour tech?
Q4. Has anyone mounted aux lights inside the TourTech Headlight Bezel? (would seem to be a create place to stick them).

There's a place under there to mount lights anyway. That's where the Yamaha lights mount. You can see the lights on many of the Youtube videos done in Europe and Morocco.

I'm mounting the Denali 2's under there once I get the time!

I mounted two FIAMM horns under there, high and low tone. They fit like a glove like the space was made for them. Of course I removed the so called horn Yammi gave us. These horns will get your attention no problem better then a loud pipe.

Were they a direct plug-n-play or did you have to change some wiring or add a relay?

Thanks,

i used the Eastern Beaver dual horn harness with relay man what excellent work he does. What's great is his harness plugs right into the stock switch wires from the stock horn and the placement of the battery on the right side made hook up even easier versus the battery being under the seat. Piece of cake to install and hook up. I even used the empty area where the elcheapo tool kit was sitting to load the relay and extra wire in there and drilled a hole in the top of that space to run the horn wires right to the horns.

Good info - thanks!!! I may have to make this same conversion since the stock horn is pretty wimpy.

I had previously described the stock horn as sounding like a mangy alley cat with asthma. I may have been overly generous. R

I'll try to post some pics of the finished product later today.

If you might be looking for lights in that space, check out the two light web sites in my links below. Several cool options.

I went with Denali D2s. I am very happy with them too. Though the Touratech's do look cool.

I am planning this same mod. with EB's kit....Can you post some pics of the horn mounting.

Are those mounted to the fork/triple clamp or the front cowling? My headlights were pointed to the ground. Of course, I didn't notice this until I was riding back from the coast through canyons with 80 miles to cover before I got back to Portland. Keeps things exciting I suppose.

Front cowling. I bought the Tenere adaptor http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/5694/821/ and these http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/5356 to mount the lights.

I stuffed a Xenarc 1010 HID aux light there. Tight fit, but I had some misc. brackets that just worked. Fills in the sides the way I wanted, but it's a low beam, DOT approved light, not a long range spot.

That looks really sharp. Nice!

My Denali set up is the same as Ulysses has. Easy install and makes you very visible even in daylight. Nicely tucked out of harm's way too.

I just installed some Hella FF50 driving lights (third bike for these lights!) under the headlight.
