RUN-N-LITES conversion kits for the R-1100/1150
GS-PD-ADVENTURE illuminate the stock turn signal housing with
a low intensity light at all times. A high intensity light
flashes with actuation of the turn signal switch. There is
no cutting or splicing of wires required to install RUN-N-LITES.
TYPE-10 RUN-N-LITES (rear)
The TYPE-10 kit fits the rear of the R-1100/1150 GS-PD-ADVENTURE.
The kit utilizes standard,dual element, car tail light bulbs
(#1157). These bulbs contain both a low intensity element
and a high intensity element. The low intensity element is
the running or marker light, which is ON all the time. The
high intensity element is the flashing, turn signal element,
which is ON intermittently. The stock BMW single element turn
signal bulb and socket are replaced with the RUN-N-LITES dual
element bulb and socket. The RUN-N-LITES bulb handles both
running (marker) and turn signal functions. The original plastic
reflector is also replaced with a stainless steel reflector.
A fiber glass and aluminum foil heat shield is also included.
No modifications are required to the wiring. Power for the
new running light circuit is obtained from the "Tail
Light" circuit in the tail light assembly.
TYPE-11 RUN-N-LITES (front)
The TYPE-11 kit fits the front of the R-1100/1150 GS-PD-ADVENTURE.
This kit is the same as the rear kit with the exception of
the length of the connecting wires. Power for the new running
light circuit is obtained at the "Parking Lamp"
in the head light assembly.
Demand on Electrical System
The additional draw on the electrical system is 16.6 watts
(1.18 amp) per each kit installed. Two kits are required to
outfit both the front and rear lights of a bike; 33.2 watts
(2.36 amps) total. This is no problem on the R-Oilhead as
the electrical system is very robust.
Recommended Modification to rear housing.
While this kits fits inside the stock turn signal housing,
it is recommended the housing be modified by drilling an 1/8"
diameter hole for ventilation. This modification has been
found to help relieve heat build-up. This hole is not a problem
technically. The ventilation hole is recommended to maintain
acceptable temperatures inside the housing.
