Herewith part numbers for the Wheelen strobe parts.

Power supply - P/N 11-16218 (price 329 dollars / 236 UK pounds+VAT )
Cabling Kit - P/N  HD60 (price 55 dollars/ 44 UK pounds + VAT )
Tail Light Strobe - P/N - A625 (price 68 dollars each/ 65 UK pound:+VAT )You
need 2.!

Note the tail lite strobes are not exclusively for tail mounting but happen
to be quite small and not therefore as draggy as other larger units. Despite
their size they still deliver the full flash output - 660 candles.
One thing I failed to mention is the current drain - 7 amps @ 13.5 volts,
quite a large chunk of the 18 amps available from the Rotax 912 alternator.
Goldwing claim their flash units put out more flash power (32 joules)  and
use less power (only 20 W). Wheelen is 25 joules per flash on about 100 W).
On paper the Goldwing sounds a better bet but im inclined to think that you
dont get something for nothing. Is someone telling porkies ?

Hope this helps
