Tobinators and Touratech HID Headlight - 1150 GSA
Well, the GS came pretty much fully specced as I would have liked it, but my first purchase was as set of Tobinators as the airflow seems to be catching me square in the face.
Upon fitting them, and at about "Step 2" in the Tobinator instructions I spotted a problem...but I had to persevere to the bitter end just to make sure it was indeed a problem. Yes I know, but that's just how my mind works!  Anyway, the problem is this: I have a Touratech HID Headlight which came along with the bike which mounts on the left hand side (as you're sitting on the bike). It mounts to the very bit that you have to remove in order to fit the Tobinators! Has anyone else got/had this combination and experienced and hopefully solved this problem? I guess it's a case of moving the mounting point for the HID...but where to and how? Any advice welcome!

Re: Tobinators and Touratech HID Headlight - 1150 GSA
Just seen your post on Gsers it sounds as though your spot is mounted in the wrong place. Most spots on1150's are mounted on a light bar under the beak.

Re: Tobinators and Touratech HID Headlight - 1150 GSA
Yup, looks like it's been mounted higher than standard....which I CAN see the point of.
Will have a look later and see what the score is. Hopefully will be a quick fix

Re: Tobinators and Touratech HID Headlight - 1150 GSA
Just spotted the reason it's mounted where it is...
You can see where the "standard" OEM Fog lights are mounted...well, that's where the Touratech HID is supposed to go too. Hmmmmmmmmmm bugger
