But we don't WANT to use a rectifier or duct tape or lithium batteries, we want an affordable light that will work without any of that crap.

That's what the whole experiment is about.

I had to ordered a voltage regulator. Couldn't find the one in the garage.

I will try the light tonite on my husky, yes I know that's not how it's going to be wired in on the Zilla but while I'm waiting for the right part ill get some pics at night.

There were some decent brackets in that link Mitch, it's the cables that I'm making the bracket work around while turning....

Does the zilla have a voltage regulator oem? How much was the regulator? Dez I thought we were just testing this on the existing zilla power supply like WTK said above.

Dezsled · « **Reply #29 on:** May 24, 2013, 07:17:14 pm »

Yeah... Your right buck, I should be trying it on a stock electrical system. Ok I'm going to work on it...

My stator appears to be rewound. I never checked the lights when I bought the Zilla so ill hook up a halogen to see if the oem vr is doing its job.

My fingers are crossed its going to work. Mitch as you look into making brackets I want something that will mount to an aftermarket anti vibe stem and mount a 10" light barin front of the handle bars--down low closer to the hood--not sticking way up above the bars. Than I want some mounts that will attach to the top of each front shock mount. There I want a smallet 10 watt bulb.

Now a question of beam patern. which would be better option:

A) A 60 watt handlebar mount light in a tight spot pattern with two 10 watt wide beam lights mounted to the front shocks? or.....

B) Just the opposit with the 60 watt wide beams turning with the handle bars and the two 10 watt spot beams fixed on the shocks.

Alright I finally got to test it, but it was during the daytime so no pics just yet of it in operation.

Here's what I started with lol... I wanted it mounted low as possible

First fitment mock up, needed to enlarge the hole for the cables

Here's a fitment check

And the almost finished bracket & light. Still needs to be painted. The primer that's on there acted like it never dried

that's why it looks so f*cked up. I wired the light to the wiring under the tank. There was a white and yellow power + wire with a female spade connector, hooked it up with the red wire off the light. The black wire off the light hooked into the black w/ white tracer= ground under the tank. Ultra simple.

Awesome Dez! Your bike looks sick man! I wish I could afford a HPR in my budget right now. That bracket is nice man how did the light perform?

Dezsled · « **Reply #33 on:** May 25, 2013, 05:25:43 pm »

In my driveway it worked fine revving it up, I took it up & down the street once and then the cops drove past so one of my neighbors musta called. Ill run it tonite and take pics of it against the dual HID set up for comparison.

Dezsled · « **Reply #34 on:** May 25, 2013, 08:21:56 pm »

Thanks man... It's taken some time to get to this point. But it's been worth the effort!

Now to get the lighting pics...

Man nice new freshy tires. Aint nothing like it. Nice ride.

WestTexasKing · « **Reply #36 on:** May 25, 2013, 09:37:04 pm »

Kennerz, it was about the cheapest light for sale that would still give us a good indication of whether it would work on AC or not.
Wouldn't want to fry a $200 light just to see if the LED and driver will handle AC.
Something like this one would probably be more than adequate:

Let's see...60Wx2 +10W tail light = 130W Ricky Stator coils!
No watts wasted

12,000 lumens and a bright LED tail light

Oh, and Dez...that bracket look SWEET.

Dezsled · « **Reply #37 on:** May 25, 2013, 09:52:47 pm »

Ok... I waited for darkness to take some pics.

Heres is the led, it didnt matter what the rpms were or which position the light switch was in hi or low. Looks pretty good...

And here's the husky w/ the dual HID soltec lights, and the led lights side by side ...

WestTexasKing · « **Reply #38 on:** May 25, 2013, 10:19:14 pm »

Dude, that's awesome!
Not nearly as bright as the HID's, but for 16W I think it held its own

So no flickering or dimming, no overheating, or any other funny business like that?
I think a few hours run time should be adequate for a recommendation, what do you think?

Dezsled · « **Reply #39 on:** May 25, 2013, 10:28:21 pm »

Thanks for the complements. Since this was a group effort I wanted to make a decent bracket to mount the light to..

Now Mitch pic a number between 1 & 50. The three others who helped pay for the light pick a number between 1 & 50. Post your number here. Whoever is closest I will send the light &mount to. You pay for shipping and its yours!

I enjoyed making this happen. Thanks for the opportunity

I didn't get to thoroughly test this light, there was someflickering. My neighbors shut their windows when I started the toys up this evening so I'm sure that they aren't happy... But it's a holiday weekend eff em!

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #40 on:** May 25, 2013, 10:34:33 pm »

Dez that looks awesome man and the agreement was whoever the guinea pig was got to keep the light. But if you insist I'll go with 28 for my age hope I'm lucky I'd love to have that set up.

WestTexasKing · « **Reply #41 on:** May 25, 2013, 10:55:11 pm »

Wait wait wait

What if Mitch reads your number...he can decide which number to pick and therefore which person gets it.
I think Dez should just hang on to it, easier that way, and I'll bet he paid for the majority of the light after shipping and taxes figured in anyway.
It was worth my share just to see if it worked.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 25, 2013, 10:58:19 pm »

Tex I agree with you Dez should keep it unless he doesn't want it in which case Mitch just pick 28 and make my summer! Lol

Dezsled · « **Reply #43 on:** May 25, 2013, 11:05:42 pm »

I'd like to see one of you guys get it, it will motivate me to make something else .

I always wanted to be a pattern maker.

WestTexasKing · « **Reply #44 on:** May 25, 2013, 11:20:09 pm »

Ok Dez....I choose you, Pikachu!

I would go with A... Reason being your pencil beam on the bars you can control. The wide flood beams will help with periferal vision. Imho.

QuadMan8 · « **Reply #46 on:** May 26, 2013, 12:52:32 am »

my pick is 15. Keep the light that was part of the origional deal as I proposed it,....now that light bracket, its another thing. NICE. That is a beautiful work of art and I want me one, So if I win i will happilly accept that if I win but you keep the light unless you don't want it. How much to have you make me one of those brackets, I am very interested. I want to mount 6/10 watt cree bulbs. Probably about a 10 " bar.

Keep testing these lights. go find an excuse to get out and have some fun, I think bye two weeks we should know if its going to work......now about that bracket .

Dezsled · « **Reply #47 on:** May 26, 2013, 09:29:37 am »

Lemme see what I can do...

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #48 on:** May 27, 2013, 04:01:54 pm »

Well who won or are you gonna do what you should do and keep the light Dez?

Dezsled · « **Reply #49 on:** May 27, 2013, 04:43:45 pm »

Can't find Mitch ..

So I made some template pattern pieces, tomorrow I can get some 1/8" steel plate to make afew... All I had left was 3/16" and that's to thick &heavy
