Another headlight question

Post by jurgen »

Hey everyone

I've been reading up on the forum a lot about headlight solutions as mine as many seems to be pretty poor (still better then. The super ten though which is pretty much 2 tea lights). I'm doing a lot of night righting at the moment with no street lights.

I have upgraded the bulb a coule of years ago although it was a cheap brighter bulb.

The way I see it I have 3 options:

1) upgrade bulb to a decent bulb eg ring xenon ultimate h4
2) add an eastern beaver kit
3) add a projector lens and hid kit

other option is to put a head torch on my lid :-).

Any ideas or opinion would be great.

Cheers

Jurgen

I used two of these on there own and they gave off enough light to ride steady at night .

I'm thinking about fitting two of these next for night riding

80/100 watt bulb works well, as long as you have relays fitted. I wouldn't try it without as you can fry the switch.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Can anyone tell me, "Does the fairing need to be removed to replace the headlamp bulb?"

Thanks
Cheers

It is a little easier to drop the fairing forward a few inches unless you have a handy small child with ickle dextrous fingers...
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
