Your in The Marines? Hmm I was thinking bout the army , but , then , i thought, well i cant be arsed to stay and listen to orders

im a lone wolf

Nope I'm Army.......I'm a bit of  a loner too......but if you can suck it up for a little while it'll help you gt really cool jobs.  I'm trying for sniper school, my quals are good i just have to actually stay on my CO's good side for more than 2 days hmmmm....maybe that's why I have three times the promotion point cut-off and still haven't made SGT

Still a good job , im a Department supervisor , not 2 shabby 

When I re-up, until I get to Sniper school, I should make E-5 ( Did I mention I have PLDC completed too ) and be a squad leader    Yeah!!! 8-10 people in my control

i just bought one of thoes heahlights.
It took them 10 days to ship it...  Thats because they send it to you right from the factory line..Some little korean kid even signs his name on the packaging slip..

There were a few things i was worried aout when i did get it.   They do send you mounting brackets with it that slide onto the forks.  But the gs stock ones look like they will work you just have to flip them around.  One down side to these is that they are all plastic.  The mounting tabs included. so be careful with that.  But all in all it looks nice on the bike it even fits over the gauges just right..   You just have to get brighter lights.

Well they shipped in 2 days for me   I checked the tracking number, it should be here wednesday   I'm not sure exactly how I'll mount it, seeing as my current headlight mounts are just thrown together

How about one of these?

What type of bulbs do they use?H-4?Will a brighter hotter bulb melt the plastic housing?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I think I'm gonna try to work out something with the LED replacements you can find at auto parts stores

MY headlight just about fitted it , lucky ,


OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my taillights just come! hahah im gonna install it and ill show u , should loook sweet !

Yeah I want to do something about my taillights.  I think I'm gonna wait til JamesG makes some tails and try to work something lut with some of the Universal LED ones that are always on Ebay.  their ovals about 4" long by 1" high.  I was thinking do a little extra glassin on the tail to point it off really sharp and do two of em side by side long ways

Gimme 20 mins , And ill Have Pics Of This,

Just Gonna Finish This Ciggie,

I was just looking at all those lights and I really liked the look of the Demon fairing as well as the Acerbis Cyclops. I got a crashed CBR1000F and want to put something on there a little better than the 4" single beam that the previous owner put on there.

I was wondering about the quality of the part as well as the brightness of the bulbs and what type of bulbs they had in them so I called up both Fly N Cycle ans well as www.motostrano-store.com (they don't carry the Demon but they do cary the full line of Acerbis lights)  and talked to the techs about their suitability.

The tech at Fly N Cycle said that most of the lights they sell like the Demon, Dash, and the MotoX are meant for dirtbikes that only see ocasional night use at low speeds. The Demon used a P15 style bulb which I don't think is available in really high wattages and the tech said that if you could stick a brighter bulb in there it would probally melt the unit. He recomended the Dominator or the universal 7" light (just like the stock GS) for frequent high speed night use (both use a H4).

The tech at www.motostrano-store.com said that the Cyclops is great for night use and he said that he personally has it on a Ninja and it works great plus it's one of the few aftermarket lights that's actually DOT approved so there shouldn't be any hassles if your bike needs to be inspected. He also said that he found the 55w low beam and the 55w high beam to offer plenty or light, but that it uses a H3 bulb which can be found at any auto parts store in 55w or 100w

He also said that most of the other Acerbis lights are mostly for dirtbikes with low output alternators and they are for infrequent night use at low speeds.

I ended up ordering the Acerbis Cyclops and it was $107 or so including shipping, which isn't that much more than the Demon plus you don't need to bother with getting the right bulbs for it.

I'm interested in how the light actually works for you though and how it looks. Post some pictures when you get it and I'll try to do the same.

Taken About 5 In The Afternoon , so still very light

The tail light looks good and plenty bright 

I said I was concerned about the quality and brightness of some of the lower priced headlights that this thread was started about. Hoping to get some feedback on some of the headlights out there.

Ive Gone For Expensive Parts .so i think thats why mine are all bright and , thats the only reason i can think off

It's here!!!!  Looks pretty good but haven't hooked it up to see the light output yet or anything.........I think I'm gonna blow off the BS I was supposed to do today and go ahead and rig this up   I'll try to post pics either late tonight or tommorow
