I love Big Brown, they always bring a smile with their deliveries.

Today I was greeted with the following boxes; Hella Optilux 2500 Angel Eye Light Kit, Graphite (To match rims) Renthal 1 1/8th Fat Bars (Pastrana Mx Low Bend) and beefy looking Tusk Universal Bar Adapters, I just had to Mock them up.

I still have some adjusting of the light brackets to do as well as purchasing some CRC bar end mirrors, then I can cut the handlebar width down.

Also what do you guys think about perhaps adding a 1-2" Round Pencil Beam type of light on top of and dead center between these to Hella's, creating a sort of rounded off triangle futuristic set up? LED? Overkill? Just tossing around ideas before I finalize and install.

Heres the Pics, I don't have power to light the main bulb yet however the kit comes wired with a AAA battery to test the Halo Eyebrow lights though, as seen below.

Thanks for the compliments, they keep me going and let me know I'm heading in the right direction with the build.

I just ordered a set of, but will only use 1 of these.

I'll move the duals up a bit, then in the remaining space above them I'll mount 1 Oval, which also has the halo effect.

Looks almost ready to ride.  Just put the wheels on and attach the pedals..  err.  motor!   :icon_mrgreen:

That's an interesting set of blue tires you have there. 
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

your bike is going to look so cool at night. you'll of course need a few LED signals, LED tail/brake, and some LEDs to highlight your frame/engine/wheels.

with all of them on you might not draw even 1 amp hour, so you could leave em on while you get a starbucks at night.

that would look so cool. :)

enjoying your modifications, keep us posted of course :)

LED Tail and Brake Light and Directionals, havent decided on front turn signals yet.

I hate Starbucks.

Im not into showing off, and or having a x-mas tree type bike with tons of accent lights, thanks though.

No for showing off, for them, it's  all for YOU ! When I stop for a bite or drink (coffee folks !) I like to park where I can see the gs. It's just cool if there is a good view. Screw everybody else, it's for ME !

;) good luck with the build, it's gonna be fun !

If you like that stuff, that cool.

I on the other hand just like the basic lighting, not into having Strobes, Accent Lighting or anything like that, but I must admit I have seen some HD's with nice lighting kits.
