Title: Custom lights
Post by: Lord Danoir the first on October 11, 2018, 10:57:05 AM
The twin headlight arrangement on my Buell looks rather dated and I like the idea of inserting small LED lights in to the little fairing on the front, like this:

Can anyone point me in the direction of the type of units that would be suitable?

I like the look of that

I spent ages looking at different LED headlight companies trying to get a 6V unit, but cant remember any of them now

Just google then check reviews I guess?

Why would you have a chalk board with lights put on the front of your bike?  :shocked:

I like it. But, have no clue about bulbs.

How could it affect MOT and road legality?

Bulbs shouldn't effect it , it's more if the headlight is embarked or not

Do I strike you as a particularly ungrateful or impolite person? It's not like you don't know me..... Or could it be that I simply didn't see a single line response among the other responses?

Do you not consider a sarcastic and inflammatory comment from a moderator inappropriate without giving consideration to
a: who you're levelling your sarcy accusation at
b: clarifying before getting shirty
c: other examples of where this person asked questions....... for example

practically awash with equal amounts of gratitude and banter.

I know, you're sorry...... I forgive you

Which is why your lack of response irritated me. You have been logged on several times since the post without reply, while previous, less informative posts met with timely repartee.

Have you had a  shandy?

please accept my insincere apology for the late response, I simply missed it...... easily done with a single line of green letters on a green background.

Anyway, thank you from the very bowels of my heart..... that's almost exactly what I'm looking for.

A company called Bott Racing do a custom flat tracker look which I quite like:

Looks like they took the idea of the side panel after a drunken game of pin the side panel on the old british bike

So they're something like these lights (separate ones for dip and main beam, it seems).

Or you could just buy a whole unit and fit it as one. You might consider respraying it to your own tastes.
