I did them today with some help and they are not easy to install and that is saying it mildly. Along with the install last weekend of the Crossroad 0 Zero degree bars and CRG 2 finger levers. I'd like say thank you to Rocketsprink and UWgriz for the help last weekend and another friend of mine for the help today,it took us about 2 hours to put the lights on but that was after Rocketsprink,Griz and myself had them mocked up several times and scratching are heads about them. Now I have NO IDEA!!! what I may do next to the bike but I'll think of something,so my wife says. Hers a couple pics anyhow. Anyone remember the Robot Johnny Five?? LOL!! Do not disassemble!!!

Looks good Dana, especially the Crossroads and new levers!! Now I have to get in touch with him about making that exhaust work on my Ducati. Are those lights super ass bright? |

Would those fit an R? |

I don't think so. They mount directly to the fork legs. The mounting would be a nightmare. They barely work on the S!! Ask Dana what had to be done to get them to fit! |

How do you like the shorty levers I am looking into a pair? Also what mirrors are those they look to be invisible when looking at other angles of the bike-very nice! |

Very nice bike Dana! I didn't notice until now that you even had the swingarm painted. Lot's of details on this bike! I wish we can meet some day to see this bike in real! |

Looks great, Dana. I still can't figure out why they were straight bolt on on mine and a couple other guys bikes, but hit the frame bosses on yours. What did you end up doing to relieve the interference? Al |

I had an acid trip a few years ago and I swear I saw that bike....... Seriously it is drop dead gorgeous. Not my particular style as I prefer stealth and low profile but I added it to my pic collection and am currently useing it as a screen saver. Sweet! |

So whats the advantage of these lights... are they just brighter? Im not trying to knock them, i was just wondering. I think im going with a 6000K HID kit for my low beam. |

After replacing both of the h-3's with Piaa Super Whites (brightest I could get) My lights are wired to both be on all the time and I am still unhappy with the light output on my 9R. In fact IMHO the 9r lights are just dismal and not near as bright as my buddies rice burners. Any ideas? |

sky, how did you wire yours to both stay on all the time? You like the result? |

I put the migs on my 9S. It took me about 30 minutes, no headaches. Everything bolted right into place. They are much brighter than stock, and look pretty cool, but not that I've done it, I'm not sure it was worth it given the expense. |

Buell892. I bought the bike with the lights already wired. In fact I thought it was normal until I found this board. So I have no idea! |

Thanks for the compliments guys and gals. The adavantage to these lights is I can run anything I want in them without melting cases. And these light light further and better infront of you,where the stock setup is more of a flood type lighting. |

Could you run HID bulbs in those? if so, Dana that would be a nice upgrade. Conversion kit I think is like 250 bucks or so. |

thanks Dana Cost is OK the install.... 20 minutes at the dealer or at home, I can wrench a bit, but I don't have much experience in motorcycles wondering if I can DIY it. |

At home. The brake takes minutes. The clutch you need to take the tension off the cable and readjust.Easy!!! |
