Has anyone put a 954 cowl & tail on a 929 ? Any tips?
Also: has anyone retrofitted projectors into their headlight? I'd really like to be able to see.

The projector mod has been one of the things way down the line I had been planning for my 954rr. Are you planning on doing the angel eye projectors?

Also, amazing avatar :)

Hey! Thx mang!, I AM planning on using ANGEL EYES/HALOS (white, but switchback style (flash amber w/ turn signals) ) & RGB DEMON EYES as well. I've done mosrt of this once before on my Ram & those turned pretty ok-ish. Weirdest part was putting headlights into ur kitchen oven. American cars headlights are sealed with permaseal...which is a nightmare to work with! Non-US manufacturers use buetyl rubber ( preferred)
FLYRIDE on youtube is the authority on ALL things lighting.

I'll post pics when it's finished

Nice man :)
I always look at this kit for my 954rr: IF Front Headlight Red Angel Eye Fit for Honda 2002-2003 CBR900RR CBR954RR s005 | eBay

But I know you can buy them separately and do them yourself. I know also they are making a good deal on the mod considering the cost of the projectors and the cost of the chinese oem headlight replacement. I know about the oven lol ugh, I had to do some headlight customizing to my Sprint ST 1050 and putting it in the oven felt blasphemous and/or certain doom and like a future melted or caught on fire headlight lol. I had a bad experience with that though. I had a really hard time getting it separated even with the oven. I was certain id break it. Didn't but... perhaps I just did not trust enough and should have put it in longer. Since then I have decided for myself I would get a pre-made kit and then sell my stock headlight to make up funds.

The only thing holding me back is on the 954 it looks best with the projectors left/right and not center like normal. And left/right are normally high beams... I just don't know if the headlight housing would affect the beam in any way or if it matters at all.

I like the turn signal integration idea. Never thought of that... Hmmmmm

Speak of the devil... Honda 929 RR 00 01 headlight with angel eyes angel eyes | eBay

Theres a 929 headlight with the mod. Looks like the mounting (I think?) is damaged, though.

Oh, hey! That reminds me....on my Ram I had to install ebay/chinesium lenses ( I ruined the OEM ones 😕) 11/2yrs later they are starting to get cloudy, on the inside (😡) on a 929 I'm working I heat gun removed the headlight lense & sprayed the inner & outer surface with Spraymax 2K clearcoat for some UV protection & will do tjis with every headlight I open from now on.

Just a tip

Very damaged I would say....
I can tell it's built with the usual, cheap ebay/Amazon parts I'm using (joking aside, I actually went middle of the road price and quality-wise as I do not want to have to open these headlights a second time!)
1 thing to consider is if you do attempt this, and use non-OEM parts (as I did) I would strongly suggest clearcoating (2K) the inside & outside of that headlights lense just as u would any other item u paint, *I learned the hard way on my 2015 Ram with aftermarket, Chinese made lenses that started going cloudy after just a year and a half )and now I will have to reopen them... yet again, to clear coat them, reinstall them, and seal them one more time!
It's really NOT that hard to do this type of mod, some of the steps just sound alittle odd if your not in the know.
Chinesium headlight: Ebay
Switchback Angel eyes/halos: Amazon
Demon eye Inserts: Amazon
Projectors: Amazon
Spraymax 2K clearcoat: Amazon
(Where a proper respirator !)
Base colors for no-longer-needs-to-be-chrome reflector housing: any
Buetyl rubber to re-seal:Amazon
( or try flexseal in a caulking tube)

Hit me up with ANY questions!
