Title: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: stopintime on August 17, 2010, 09:45:01 AM I've heard it is not a direct fit....
Something to do with the bucket being a little larger ??? Anyone done this? (for example Chris at DesmoWorld himself?) [thumbsup] Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: 1KDS on August 17, 2010, 12:48:52 PM a m has one on his bike, thought he said it was direct swap

Exactly. Bolts holes are the same thread and size (M8). Its a completely new headlight, not just the lens. Included is the bucket, reflector, ring and glass. Uses the same bulb size (H4) though I have put in a HID (H4 kit). The ring attaches slightly different, so you can't swap parts back and forth from the stock headlight to the new one, such as a DP carbon fiber bucket (a shame, because it would look good with all the carbon nonsense i've got on the bike). <snip> If you haven't worked with Chris at Desmoworld before, he's a pleasure to work with.

Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: vigge79 on August 17, 2010, 06:42:22 PM I just mounted this last week. I'm a newbie and it took me 15 minutes to put in place. On my 695 there was a little bit of space between the brackets on the bike and the headlight bucket so it would have been nice with a pair of spacers but works well without. The hole for the cables in the back doesn't have a "lid" but again is not a big issue.
I strongly recommend maing the ring dark instead of chrome for any Monster frame color ;) I'll post some pics of my beauty as soon as I get time for it. Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: TAftonomos on August 17, 2010, 07:17:54 PM I bought some lexan circles pre-cut off ebay for fairly cheap. After screwing around with the oven, temps, and a fixture, I got the sag where I wanted it.
For $80, it might have been worth it to just buy the thing....then again, I can say "I made that" Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: Monstermash on August 18, 2010, 09:37:28 AM where is it at on their website? I haven't kept up on my German. +1 The fact that they do business here would suggest they would be smart enough to have an option for english on thier site. No? I have visited their site on quite a few occasions to look for stuff and I always get frustrated and don't bother ordering anything from them because I can't find what I'm looking for BECASUE I DON'T SPEAK make the beast with two backsING GERMAN!!!

Issues? Post by: Dariusz on May 20, 2011, 11:45:05 AM The people of desmoworld are in the business or close doors?
I ask this because I trie to obtain information to buy a headlight and a led brake light but I don't have ansvers in the web site (contact form, here in DM to Chris, etc.) Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: stopintime on May 20, 2011, 11:52:37 AM It has been difficult to get in contact with them for a while.
This time of year + they're moving..... If you know what you want, I think just ordering online is the way to do it. What is it you're wondering about? Maybe I can help you..... Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: OT on May 20, 2011, 12:04:17 PM I'm interested in an asspuff to make my monster sound better..I think they carry those, too [moto]
Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: Drunken Monkey on May 20, 2011, 09:25:23 PM AUSpuff.
I'm lucky enough to have an auspuff that's loud enough so nobody hears my asspuffs. Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: junior varsity on May 21, 2011, 04:55:39 AM ha.
Yes, I have this headlight on my 900. pitchers: when i had the DP gauge cluster: (https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_4iYlZ1m8UEM/S0fVvLS1EKI/AAAAAAAAFBg/iXkYSMljWr0/s800/IMG_1974.JPG) (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_4iYlZ1m8UEM/S5GQmqybFGI/AAAAAAAAFVs/8X0-FL48vXo/s800/IMG_2163.JPG) Nowadays: (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_4iYlZ1m8UEM/TTOmfzl4-9I/AAAAAAAAF5w/Ut2OJKF7yMc/s800/IMG_3121.JPG) (https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_4iYlZ1m8UEM/TWwhje9DctI/AAAAAAAAGcc/iHrKg7AEDmA/s800/IMG_9486.jpg) The only differences is its ever so slightly narrower from mount hole to mount hole - you could fit spacers in there if you felt it was necessary, but it isn't - the "ears" flex just fine (its a small amount anyhow). Not only would I buy this again, I might buy a second one for the other Monster! Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: greenmonster on May 22, 2011, 05:09:46 AM Dw f sure looks cool,
how`s the light compared to original? Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: stopintime on May 22, 2011, 09:04:48 AM It's quite a lot better - probably due to a sharper focus.
First time riding downstairs into my garage, I almost crashed by slamming the brakes - thought I was meeting a car, since, for the first time in daylight, I saw a clear pattern of headlight on the wall. Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: junior varsity on May 22, 2011, 12:09:50 PM It's better, still not incredible. Put a good bulb in there. I had the HID kit in mine for awhile and blinded everyone possible (awesomely)
Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: He Man on May 22, 2011, 01:23:51 PM you do all that work on your motor and cant retrofit an HID projector??? shame on you!!!! ;)

Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: Dariusz on May 23, 2011, 12:32:56 PM The first I trie is to place a order, but all two items
Headlight http://www.desmoworld.com/shop/us/scheinwerfer-klarglas-monster.html (http://www.desmoworld.com/shop/us/scheinwerfer-klarglas-monster.html) and Led Brake http://www.desmoworld.com/shop/us/led-rucklicht-monster-getont.html (http://www.desmoworld.com/shop/us/led-rucklicht-monster-getont.html) are in backorder. I trie to contact the people of desmoworld about a ETA, because I have a family member who goes to Spain in a few days and could get me these parts from there. The other reasson to trie contact their is about the payment and their opinions and recommendations regarding the headlight (I need a good light, not just a piece that looks good). Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: junior varsity on May 23, 2011, 12:51:37 PM that last part is quite subjective.
Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: DucHead on May 23, 2011, 01:35:47 PM Spieglerusa.com sells the LSL headlight which looks the same (I bought one for my new Bandit), plus they answer the phone and emails - its about $150 shipped with H4 bulb.

Post by: Dariusz on May 23, 2011, 01:57:07 PM I agree that the "quality" of the light is subjetive, but I think that all of us agree that the original headlight have a very bad "light quelity" je je je
Title: Re: DesmoWorld clear glass headlight. Issues? Post by: Dariusz on May 23, 2011, 02:00:07 PM Very interesing! And the headlight brackets are the same or need some adaptation work? Other very important thing is that the headlight size is the same 7 1/4"?
