Title: Twin headlights-need assistance(done, with pics) Post by: hotsnot on April 29, 2009, 03:38:53 AM Hey,I'm in the process of fitting a Dominator Twin Round Headlight Set to the monster and need a bit of assistance.Seems theres no relay, is it o.k. to just fit and go,or a bit more to it.The headlight fuse is 15A and existing light only uses about 5A.The new setup is about 10-11A (2x H4 12V 60/55W) and the wiring is about 0.75mm or 1mm wire.I'd be thinking 10A is about the limit of this size cable.
Anyone being there done that??????????? Thanks Joe Title: Re: Twin headlights-need assistance Post by: NAKID on April 29, 2009, 03:46:27 AM I wired mine straight up. No additional relay. Everything worked fine...

Brought them with me on Sunday when I went to Simsbury, but getting there later than I anticipated screwed things up. They are painted and re-assembled though...
Title: Re: Twin headlights-need assistance Post by: hotsnot on May 02, 2009, 04:59:54 PM Thanks for that lads,done and dusted.Only problem was the speedo cable is tight off the lights and slightly tilted the speedo,don't really want to move the bracket down.

Title: Re: Twin headlights-need assistance(done, with pics) Post by: 4DoorSi on May 05, 2009, 06:47:18 AM So that's what I have?!?!
I always knew I loved the dual headlights on my bike from the previous owner, but never knew exactly what they were. Title: Re: Twin headlights-need assistance(done, with pics) Post by: yokahoma on May 07, 2009, 07:56:52 AM Did you buy this kit with prefabbed brackets for a monster or is it all custom fabbing? Looks good.
Title: Re: Twin headlights-need assistance(done, with pics) Post by: Bones on May 07, 2009, 09:20:39 AM those look like the original brackets. stock h/l is 8" and these are dual 4" if I'm not mistaken, so it looks like they slip right on. I've seen these on fleabay and have been on the fence. hmmmmmmmm

Title: Re: Twin headlights-need assistance(done, with pics) Post by: hotsnot on May 08, 2009, 01:13:37 AM Yeah,their the stock brackets alright.Didn't exactly slip on,more persuaded into position.As you can see in the pic the speedo cable had to be pushed over a bit. Great light given out and it takes that boring look of the stock light that 2 million other models have.

Ducati only makes about 35000 bikes a year. About half of those Monsters. Don't think you have to worry about 2 million of them being out there... ;D Title: Re: Twin headlights-need assistance(done, with pics) Post by: hotsnot on May 09, 2009, 06:16:12 AM SARCASM,MY DEAR WATSON [coffee]

Where did you pick up that twin headlight set? Hows the light output from it? Title: Re: Twin headlights-need assistance(done, with pics) Post by: NAKID on May 09, 2009, 08:37:45 AM SARCASM,MY DEAR WATSON [coffee] I know that, hence the big cheesy smile at the end....

Yeah,its a big difference compared to the stock light [thumbsup].Even with postage to Australia it worked out alot cheaper than other local dealers |
