The headlight puts out some light!

What brand hid bulb/kit did you use & how much was the conversion?

Riding at night is a blast.

55watt kit from ddm tuning, it was about 60 bucks. Shipped direct from china. Shipping cost is 1/3 of the 60.
It seems to works ok, lots of these kits used by many. The bulb has a half shield reflector with this in place it helps direct light. I know there is still lots of stray light but it was cheap.

What is anything in the electrical system did you have to modify to run the HID.

I used rogue's wiring setup. I added a rectifier regulator a relay for the light. Also added a battery. Took a while to wire it all up.

Not heard anything

Dezsled · « **Reply #11 on:** September 10, 2013, 06:26:33 am »

The pattern looks great, since the reflector wasn't designed for the hid bulb.

Looks like a lot more light than stock

nice whip, how much did you save on making one vs buying one?

B_Fuss · « **Reply #13 on:** September 10, 2013, 08:57:02 pm »

Firestik 6 foot whip about 20 bucks.
10 feet for clear heat shrink under 10 bucks.
5 meters of water proof led strip adhesive backed, about 12 bucks.
Spring mount 5 buck.

Total about 50.

Tribal whip 6 foot is 85.

So I saved about 35.

If you spend a little more and get the led strip that has the color changing feature with remote. It would be even cooler.

Nice and bright. I like the headlight and the whip.

Did you ever get your transmission issues sorted out?

B_Fuss · « **Reply #15 on:** September 11, 2013, 09:08:56 pm »

No never figured it out, running a different engine now.

Nopick · « **Reply #16 on:** September 12, 2013, 07:35:41 am »

That's one way to fix the problem!!

Happy4444 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 18, 2013, 08:54:38 am »

looks good. is that another 500 you have in your garage?

B_Fuss · « **Reply #18 on:** September 20, 2013, 08:41:38 pm »

Yes it is

Nopick · « **Reply #19 on:** September 21, 2013, 10:44:37 am »

You can't have just one!

B_Fuss · « **Reply #20 on:** November 04, 2013, 10:07:23 am »

Well we did one night ride this past weekend. The light and whip worked great. Thanks go out to Rogue and Kennerz for the help. The only issue is the battery is a bit heavy, I can feel it the front end doesnt come up as easy. When is does come up is goes down a bit harder.

B_Fuss · « **Reply #21 on:** November 04, 2013, 10:34:16 am »

Thinking of getting a shorai battery. The 12 amp hour one is 1.52lbs. Just not sure on the charging requirments
