There are a lot of options for LED lights these days but here is how I did mine.
Start with a Rolson 72 LED worklight.
Cut the printed circuit board to leave two rows of LED's and trim the chrome strip to suit.
Fit it into the parking light space after removing the stepped 'reflector' thingy (I cut the centre section out of my stepped thingy to retain the end lumps)
Wire it up as this diagram.
Mount the 5V regulator, resistor and relay somewhere on the fairing frame.
Of course, if you've got a sidecar, make a matching unit for the front!
And that's all there is to it.
Total cost of items is about £13 (April 2012).
(I did find that replacing the bottom Phillips screw with a 5mm stud makes refitting the headlamp unit easier.)
