Title: rat bike headlight
Post by: Church6360 on June 03, 2005, 08:04:30 PM
i know i've started about 8 posts tonight, but what kind of headlight is it possible to run with the stock wiring. i want to make my bike more weird and get more comments like "....ummm.... nice bike (?)...what is it?"

so i'm thinking about putting a different headlight on. anybody know what the wiring can handle.

also good illumination is a big plus, i ride a decent amount at night.

Here's a rat bike a my buddy Brian has.  See second pic down on this page (http://www.sos.mtu.edu/ftmc/gallery.htm) (I'm not in any of those pictures, they're all a couple years old).  An example of walmart foglights for headlights on Da Ho.  I especially like his square tube mounting brackets.  I think he wants to take that bike on the deal's gap trip this summer instead of his SVS :dunno: Though, last I heard he was trying to put a monoshock on the rear.  In the winter he studs the tire and rides on the snowy roads.

CX500? yes.  He took the honda emblem off the tank and made it into "Da Ho."  Apparently there are also plans for mounting a turbo from a similar honda 500 while keeping the higher compression of the naturally aspirated engine 8)
