Headlight Upgrade

stock bulp on mine was a 35watt
i replaced it with a 45watt and it works nice
maybe i should try a 55watt.

a new stator is the best option i think

Hey 05XRR,
I am doing about the same thing for my X. I bought the headlight assembly from a Big Ruckus. I want to make or buy a nice mount for the assembly. Could you send me some more pictures of your mounting to my email address? It is houk27 at yahoo dot com. Thanks, Tony

This bike looks really nice!!! Ive got the X2 as well but just halogen. I want to see more pictures of the headers. I think I want some like those but I have the IMS 4.6 and am not sure if i can have headers come down the left side of the bike like that. Also what is different about the intake tube that i see. I am not able to PM yet so I hope supriserider sees this.

Just got done test fitting my new light today. This seemed the best place to post the pics....


(Protective film is still on the light as I'll be taking it off again for wiring etc...)
Clearances at steering full lock left and right:


Back clearance:

The straps are a bit loose, I may have to shim it around the fork tubes or try using the stock light straps.

Can't wait until I get all my parts in and can wire it up!

Here is the light I mounted on my XR behind the headlight shell. I love it. Super bright and under $50.
1800 lumen @ 1.5 amps

Yo, spdnjoe, where did you find that light for under $50?

Thanks,

I got them from DDM Tuning right next to my house in Huntington Beach, Ca.

Fabbed up a quick little mount


Fits great. Just need to get some thin black plastic and fill in the sides around the light


@Mauser....We do with what we can afford. Not the prettiest but works great !

Yes.   I like how good it works (especially for the price), and the way it turned out on the cheap. So its a win win for me

I've got it from a very reliable source (my mom) that I'm hugly.
Dunno Frosty, maybe he's fugl.....








    

Been doing a lot of night riding. Very very happy with the outcome. This light is very bright and lights up the sides of the trails pretty decent too.

That is good news then

Thought you would turn back into a pumkin if you were out after dark Fruity ?   

Actualy i turn in to something like a wolf , but that is another story .

Me: "Are you affected by a full Moon?"
Frosty: "NOOOOOOO0000000ooooooooOOOOOOO00000ooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"








  

This is my actual setup but i'll improve it with another extra led side by side for night race competitions.

I've use SOLO X vision LED light and work great:

I still want to see that single LED in action Babuja

Frosty, this a 15º light (similar to a maximum light). I'll be adding a 45º (medium).

I have no comparison to 2 x 5" HID light but works great for me.

C'mon send some piccies from night action
