Title: Advice on some parts - LED headlight, pots Post by: jasaretta on November 14, 2010, 01:09:51 AM I've always wanted to brighten up the front headlight on my 2007 S4Rs. Don't particularly want to change the shape but thought about some kind of LED headlight. I wouldn't know where to start. Any ideas?
Also any recommendations for fluid reservoirs? I want the get some gold ones to match the pazzo levers, clutch plate, and forks. TIA jas Title: Re: Advice on some parts - LED headlight, pots Post by: geoffduc on November 14, 2010, 09:08:55 AM Rizoma fluid pots are the way to go but make sure that you get the alloy brackets part number CT450B to go with them...

it would require a new headlight bucket though, 7" down from the 7.5" monsters come with. good luck matching gold ano. depending on how aged your current stuff is + the fact that every manufacturer has a different idea of gold you will probably (definetly) end up with different shades of gold.

Speedymoto put a smaller headlight into the stock bucket with the use of a spacer ring of some sort. I'll find the pic....

OP should def. contact them with that pic and see if theyel make him one. speedymoto is a small enough operation that if they still have the build files for it they will probably make one.

Yeah the gold matching is a pregnant dog but I can live with it. The headlight you posted xcaptainxbloodx would it require any different wiring or is it just the fitting that's the challenge? I can feel some money parting soon.

if you wanted a 7" bucket for that bulb ebay has a ton, its far more common than our 7.5" buckets. |
