I think it cleans up the front end

I like it.  So where did you find it? 

First on ebay (looking for the V Rod)
But at Louis.de it was cheaper ;D

and for some strange reason....louis.de wont ship to the US.

anyone have any insight as to why a german company wont ship to the US??
(i have come across more than one like this)

because Dick Clark snubbed Kraftwerk

Looks good.  Halogen or HID?  Cost?

let me know what you are looking for. I can run over to Louis pick it up and then ship it via USPS

[laugh]
dude even i have a hard time with their tracks and i listen to electronic music excluisively

Does the light have any sort of left-or-right side drive cut-off?

It's E certified from what I read so it meets all EURO roads standards and sold it Germany so whatever it's supposed to have to it does I bet. Drive on the right here btw.

Like that Ikea run that you've been promising me?   [cheeky]

Is the lens glass or plastic?

Still pissed off 70 years later?

Could always go with this one.

I liked your old one. That's ok but the orange bucket looked so classy and classic.

You need to lower your gauge now,  ;)

ok ok ... damn man, you have a long memory unlike me. honestly. haven't been to IKEA since before you asked. BUT... I will make the effort now that you've pointed out my failure to everyone.

I may go with this temporarily until I get the 848 front end mounted

Yes ;D ;D

Don't know , but the  quality is very good , not like those chinese clearlens headlights

lol  I'm just busting your chops.  Speaking of chops, been down to the Schnitzel Haus in Einsiedlerhof lately?   [drool]

Just thump it with your finger, you should be able to tell. 

plastic ;D

Thanks for checking. :)

talk about an anal fisting price tag.  :-\ ouch.

DOOD!   :o

Looks good, man. [thumbsup]

The link http://www.spieglerusa.com/UrbanHeadlight (http://www.spieglerusa.com/UrbanHeadlight) light looks not so good.......

I really like that light. Thanks for sharing it!

I picked it up today. The other I had seen wasn't available. I also found some black brackets for it. Hopefully will be on soon to take some pictures.

This possibly would be a temporary set up so may be selling it in the near future.

you have a pm

Not sure if I like your  new head light.  hmmm

I just installed the HID Kit.  The stock was just horrible.  Huge difference   ;D

things i like about this headlight so far. for the 696/1100 it has the same amount of wiring. a parking light, low beam and a highbeam. it's not just a single hi/low beam. so wiring to my stock connector was easy. it's pretty light per se. and it's not too deep, i should be able to mount it pretty close to the triples.

If you used the stock headlight, just want to say.

THANKS FOR BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS.

Putting a HID "kit" in a halogen housing just means you now throw so much glare over to oncoming drivers they can't see.  Just want you want....someone looking away from the road the closer you get.
 
Get a proper HID projector, and retrofit it inside your headlight.

I sort of agree with you.  Technically all you say is correct.  There are so many improper or poorly aimed over wattage bulbs out there headlights out there that it almost doesn't matter.

You got a point there.  You are correct.  

But with me not being able to see at night with the stinking stock lights (even after cleaning the case and changing bulbs to higher volts), I had to try the HID kit and get it.   It is what it is for now.

Unfortunately, I will have to join the "There are so many improper or poorly aimed over wattage bulbs out there headlights out there"    

I don't know about you but we ride a lot at night  and I need this and this is all i can afford to get at this time.   >:(
