I agree with Martin.  If you wire the lights directly into the loom, you may
overload the system by using your passing light switch.  This would be six
bulbs - 2 main, 2 dip and two accessory,  total 320 watts + tail, brake turn
lights etc.

Wire, via relay, from the battery should be OK.

I have an RD07A and I plan to install two projector lamps (small diameter) in
the scoops at the top of the fairing.

            Happy plumbing
