PIAA 510ATP Lights

[stgreg]

Got these installed today. Used the plug that Yamaha built into the bike for power.

Well they sure look the part. How's the light output?

These have the 55W bulbs. They do very well. The picture makes them look larger than they do. ::022::

Roy at Ryco Motorsport helped me with the pins and PIAA lights. Here is his link www.rycomoto.com

being outside of the framework, will they be subject to damage in the event of a tipover ?

 

[stgreg]

Probably, if the panels get scratched

The lights look about the same size as the factory piaa lights. Those plastic stone guards might be what are making them look big. If they do the job, that’s what matters.

btw, welcome to the forum.

The Yamaha Piaa lights are 3" in diameter. These are 4"
I've been here lurking for some time now ::013::

Correction, these are 35W with an equivalent of 65W output. There are some with 55W bulbs available. Also, I used the PIAA bar mounts called the L-Bracket. The lights and brackets are available through Ryco

Greg, did the brackets work for you?

We were looking at those L-bracket mounts in another thread. They look pretty decent and versatile. I’ve got a set of lights to install and still can’t decide on those brackets on my Givi bars or up under the headlight. You can probably move the lights all over the place to suit with the brackets.

Never found a set of lights that were that size. I really wanted the 530 PIAA to work but, the mounting points were too wide for the brackets and didn't want any lights smaller than the three inches of the brackets.

That's the ones. It took the 1" size to fit the Yamaha crash bar. Techmount has a similar version that is sized wrong. The PIAA bracket works with the 510 series light as I mounted it. I think the more common 520 series would not have worked in the position that I mounted mine, due to the angle of the bar at mounting point. Light angle adjustment is a little tricky also because of the strange bar angle. It's a good set up for the $$$

Yup, they can kick it all right!

I think what I'll do first is look for a more controlled fog beam to fill in the dead areas near the bike and to increase visability to others by day. Somebody posted info on some PIAA's that look exactly like the OEM driving lights, only they have LEDs and the LED light is directed inward at a multi-reflector. PIAA claims superior light output, beam control and dispersion...not to mention the obvious power savings. Next up after those would be the 'wild and wooley' ones like you have, or maybe the Kristas..or possibly the Denalis if I'm in a thrify mood. 8) Thanks for the pic!
