It sure looks like there is some kind of bright light in the center of the fairing here.   Froggy Posted on Friday, October 18, 2013 - 10:21 am:        Yes, that is the main LED headlight which puts out 2000 lumens, the DOT legal limit. It also has the LED accent strips around the sides of the headlight to function as the parking light.   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, October 18, 2013 - 12:45 pm:        How much you want to bet that headlight can be trivially hacked to push closer to 3000 lumens?   Rsm688 Posted on Friday, October 18, 2013 - 09:03 pm:        Looks awesome, other than the tail light. I don' know what he was thinking with that goofy floating tail light idea. I'm sure someone will come out with an aftermarket one that mounts under the subframe and look better than that   Greg_e Posted on Saturday, October 19, 2013 - 02:04 pm:        Not his fault, the DOT requires certain things, and many sport bikes look just like that. In fact, if he keeps to his thought process, that tail light assembly is the same as some other cycle because it is readily available and already DOT approved. This saves time and money in the process of getting the cycle out on the road.   Carbonfibrebob Posted on Saturday, October 19, 2013 - 04:38 pm:        Plus, it is quick and easy to remove for a day at the track.   Froggy Posted on Saturday, October 19, 2013 - 05:37 pm:        Yea EBR isn't the only one with a floating tail light like that, there are regulations regarding the placement of things like the tail light and plate, so they do the best they can within those restrictions, and then make it so that it can be conveniently relocated or removed entirely by the owner.   Froggy Posted on Saturday, October 19, 2013 - 05:50 pm:        Here are some examples that have a similar lights setup http://www.kawasaki.com/Products/Product-Specifica tions.aspx?scid=24&id=780 http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%20Lines/Cycles /Products/GSX-R600/2014/GSXR600.aspx http://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport/products/mo delgallerylib/8/1/0/gallery.aspx The 1125R had it too but to a lesser degree http://www.bikewalls.com/wallpaper/Buell_1125R/312 136631/1024x768.html
