Title: Harley Headlight Post by: jimbonerz28 on November 13, 2009, 01:33:54 PM I swapped my old stock headlight for a Harley headlight I picked up at a swap meet. I like the look but I might miss the fairing.
Old look (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b142/JimmySix/ducati%20m900/DSC02565.jpg) The new look (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b142/JimmySix/ducati%20m900/Photo0127.jpg) (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b142/JimmySix/ducati%20m900/Photo0128.jpg) (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b142/JimmySix/ducati%20m900/Photo0129.jpg) (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b142/JimmySix/ducati%20m900/Photo0134.jpg) Title: Re: Harley Headlight Post by: stopintime on November 13, 2009, 01:52:19 PM I like the dual look [thumbsup]

I am going to split the inner housings and rotate them 90 degrees. This sould give me a normal light pattern. I am more concerned about the extra voltage, can anyone "enlighten" me to the capacity of the charging system? Will it handle the extra wattage from dual bulbs?
Title: Re: Harley Headlight Post by: ducpainter on November 14, 2009, 01:27:47 PM You have what looks like an early bike with the single phase system so there isn't a whole lot extra.
How many watts are the bulbs? Title: Re: Harley Headlight Post by: jimbonerz28 on November 14, 2009, 01:58:47 PM You have what looks like an early bike with the single phase system so there isn't a whole lot extra. How many watts are the bulbs? The bike is a 97 M900, the bulbs are 55w each on low beam and 60w each on high. Should I unplug one bulb until I upgrade the charging system?

Should I unplug one bulb until I upgrade the charging system? I believe the wiring is the weakest link. I run an 80/100w bulb in my bike and have had no problems at all. Just make sure all the connections are clean and tight and don't worry about it. |
