• Can the lt250 power the pair of Banshee headlights? I'm thinking I might snag a pair and get some mounts to mount them off the frame to look simular to a Banshee headlight setup. Just curious if the stock stator can handle that.

• Dual banshee lights need 70watts to run. IIRC the LT250r only has like 50watts.

• i have seen guys use the top shock bolt to mount lights, this way you dont need to cut or drill hole in plastic

• Check out the 6" light . No need to rewind and it's bolt on and run it. Fab up a couple brackets and use the stock mounting location.

• The banshee bulbs are 30w each.  I heard the stock stator can do 55-60 on these lt250r's.  Before I pull the trigger on a pair of banshee light (I think i'm going to try and mount off the shocks as well), do you think I will have any problems with this setup working?

• Also can anyone find any links to pictures with a lt250r running banshee lights?  I've been looking around, just cause i'm curious to see how it looks, but I can't find anything.

• Wish i could see the front view on this.  I even looked through the photo bucket file this is from for more pictures with no luck.  Looks like he made some custom brackets to mount right with the shocks though.

• You can mount HID lights in a banshee housing. But not LED

• ok. Here is what i did. I used a 1/8 x 1/2 aluminum strap. sanded it and ran it across a buffer. It mounts across the top shock tower and bolts down with the front plastic. The lights are a set of 3A racing foglamps with 25w h3 bulbs.
  They have a nice blue hue to them. Stator keeps up no issues.
  
   (edit) 2 things i forgot to mention.
  
  1: since i posted on this thread it is dead and there will be no other replies. Sorry, it just seems that this always happens.
  
  2: This setup has worked well for me, no vibrations, it allows me to clear the fenders with no probs, no mods or cutting anything was necessary.
