Looking to do the headlight replacement mod.. Is this everything?

fearthisinc · Sep 22, 2013

Ok.. So I will be having a bunch of mods done soon and figured why not go all out and get the last finishing touch on the bike which is the headlight.. Really there isnt anything else I want for the bike after all these mods so why not do it all.. Anyway.. Is this everything I need?

1 - Headlight:
Option A: http://www.refinedcycle.com/HDLT5-1-...ia-HDLT5-1.htm
Option B: http://www.demonscycle.com/headlight...otorcycle.html PLUS http://www.demonscycle.com/headlight...otorcycle.html

2 - Mounting Bracket:

3 - Mounting Block: (Not sure if this is needed or not)

****Also I have HID lighting.. Is there a major light output loss?

Also I accidentally posted this in the general section.. If a mod could please delete that post it would be appreciated.. Thanks

None (except one) of your links lead to anything but the home page of a parts shipper.
I have no idea what you plan on doing???

Yeah the links didn't work for me either =) would love to see what you are up to

good luck with the mod.

lol.. Sorry about the links.. Not sure why they don't go to the actual page.. Can't seem to get it to work right.. Regardless.. I am looking to change to an aftermarket headlamp.. I am going to go with this style:

Had contemplated the above style with a halo which Demon Cycle sells but opted to just get the regular headlamp.. The halo's are nice but just not what I am looking for.. The other links were for the mounts that are needed.. Here is a pic of hte halo Demon Cycle sells:

I tried that headlight, it is frickin huge and had a issue where it wasn't staying up right. It would slowly vibrate until resting on a metal support brack I made at the lowest position. This was with red locktiting the threads and tightening the bolts as much as possible. I would suggest a secondary support for that type of light if you are going that way.

Where did you get your headlight from? What size did you go with? Cost? Talked with a few guys about this and no one mentioned any problems like that with the light..

https://www.phatperformanceparts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=PPP-HL004 is the one I tried, it is the accessories international 7 inch light.

Well I went with the 5.75 light.. The shop I talked to doesn't seem to think there will be a problem.. They have done light swaps before.. Ill let you know how it goes..
