I'll be interested in seeing your set up and perhaps purchasing one of your
brackets. About the only thing I really dislike on the GTS is the lousy
headlight. Like you, I was very spoiled by the Concours' headlight which
put lots of light where it was needed.

Henry,
Before spending any money on aux. lights buy a relay and a 90/130
PIAA bulb for the stock reflector. Take a little time to adjust and
aim. It is the best lighting I have had on a motorcycle and I have
tried a few things; including 1200's and and an 80 XT on past mounts.
I just finished a rally in Canada and I rode with another rider that
had aux. lighting and dual headlights. My GTS stock headlight made
his set up look like he was riding in the dark and did a much better
job of lighting both on low and high beam on those twisty back roads.
I have no intention of spending money or gunking up the looks of the
GTS with aux. lighting. It isn't necessary when you have a more
powerful headlight bulb.
