Title: Replacement Headlight Lense... Post by: RBX QB on March 31, 2009, 02:28:36 PM Searched the database to no avail...
'06 S2R... Any sources for replacements that AREN'T the $300 dealer assemblies? I'm trying to recall if the Harley 7" lenses are the same, as I seem to recall that our stockers are slightly larger in diameter. Considering the recent Thruxton Fairing thread, I'm thinking I need to check the local Triumph dealer, too. I'd also LOVE to make this work... http://www.myhellalights.com/halogen_lamps/Black_Magic.html# (http://www.myhellalights.com/halogen_lamps/Black_Magic.html#) Direction is appreciated.

[thumbsup] Would look very cool. or the Hella with the red aluminum ring.

Post by: RBX QB on March 31, 2009, 06:38:18 PM Don't think the Hella lamp would be overly ridable (ridable=street legal), as there is no cutoff, and no hi-lo. So you'd REALLY need to be creative in the setup. You'd need to come up with an auxilliary lamp for basic nighttime riding. Maybe a couple good compact fogs.
In the mean time, the new lense I got from the BMW dealer is a bit clearer than my old one, and I'm going to paint the glare shield over the lamp so that it's black. I anticipate that, when off, the black painted glare shield will reflect off the reflector, and give a darkening effect. Without seeing the Hella in person, I figure this is similar to how it goes "black". If it works as my feeble mind visualizes it will, I'll post a pic. Title: Re: Replacement Headlight Lense...

I should have pics of it installed by next week! Title: Re: Replacement Headlight Lense... Post by: Slide Panda on November 07, 2009, 03:04:14 PM Bringing back a little old... But how's this working out ATO?
Title: Re: Replacement Headlight Lense... Post by: junior varsity on November 07, 2009, 03:06:33 PM Phenomenal. Zero issues.
I've switched between regular H4 bulb and an HID kit. (Don't like how much excess wire the HID bulb / ballast and whatnot has. If I had a faired bike, there'd be lots of places to hide it, but I do not.) |
