I am gonna try and swap the headlights out for an older single style. I have seen it done on here before but I cant find some pics of it. Who has done this and can you send me some detailed pics and potential problems that I may run into (like different fork diameters that may make the clamps unusable). BTW, if I can make this work, my lights will be up for sale. Also, does anyone care to extend me a little trust and let me borrow a spare set up to make this work for now. I cant just take it apart and let it sit until I make it work because it is my transportation. I'll make you a great deal on my factory stuff. Please, detailed pics, I haven't tried anything like this before.

I think it was a Trojan project.

Rafartist, were you thinking of Jessea's bike?

Yes, that is what I have in mind, but I want to black out the bucket and put an HID system in the assembly.

Be sure to take pics of your changes in stages and post them to help the next guy.

Wyckedflesh did this conversion to his XB12S. I believe it's an X1 light and flyscreen. You may want to give him a pm.

Yeah, thats it. I dont want to run a flyscreen though. I am gonna run an HID setup in the bulb. Just raw wires and remove the guages and use one of those LED bar graph units from a race car or bike to supply the rpm and speed so it looks just like a set of handlebars as a mess of wires like some hack threw it together. I am also considering stackin a set of those rectangle PIAA's, I just dont care for the bug eyes.

How involved is this light conversion. I would do that tomorrow if it were a kit.

Nice!

this is my bike,
actually now it's better since I've placed the instrument panel back in place using an aluminium plate.

Yeah, I'm curious about that exhaust too. The lights are hot, but I'm wondering what that exhaust looks like from the back.

Something doesn't look centered on the Pic above from the rear, or is it just me. And what is the white shock, is that a race application only, or aftermarket?

May just be the angle, but it does look out of whack
