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 (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.

Quote from: werase643is that a SUX500????
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)
