Thanks for the link though. And yes, google is my friend. ;-)

it's unbelievable how hard it is to see a winky bike.

that kit doesn't blind oncoming traffic. it turns on the high beam at about 40% power, IIRC.

The only way to solve the problem is get a headlight assy from the UK. Their low beam is the right side and ours is the left side if you notice. Cut the two assemblies in half and put the UK one in on the right side. Now you have two low beams which is what you want. Only problem is no highbeam. What's more important. Personally I like the way it is. Reminds me of when the first 916 Ducati came out.

Here's a couple of links to show what I mean. The first is a UK RR as you can see by the color scheme. The second is a US or Canadian one at Laguna Sega.

i kinda like the uk idea

D2i_Ironman · 08-30-2008, 6:56 PM

this is one issue on my bike i can't wait to start playing around with and fix. it is so annoying to have other bikers come up and tell me i have a headlight out, like they don't know that honda uses the cyclops lighting.

and of course the fact that the single headlight doesn't illuminate nearly as much as i would like to see on the road at night.

aussie627 · 08-30-2008, 7:03 PM
