Tank is red, not orange. Currently making a fiberglass seat a la Walt Siegel Puma bike.

How do you like the headlight?  Do you have pics of the light output??

Goss- the light is bright as hellfire. Twice as bright, but at least half the spread of a stock light. I'm considering adding a small LED flood beam to compliment the spot beam I have here.

Which model did you use Memper?

I have a similar LED headlight (only 6 LED's) and it's supposed to have a wide spread, that I will be installing on my 696.

I want an LED headlight something like that for my bike, but I'm pretty sure they aren't street legal in California.

I like a bright light like everyone - but my concern is the cut-off pattern missing from "alternative" lights that may
blind oncoming drivers.

I installed a JW Speaker 7" LED, it has a DOT number on it & is the same unit Harley is installing factory in their newer bikes.  So it should be 50 state legal.  I am very happy with the beam pattern as it uses 2 side LED units to widen the beam plus a high & low projector style LED for good distance.

Shouldn't all the discussion above be in "Accessories & Mods?"

No pics of use. But it's bright. Got it on ebay at a place with "Pirate" in its name. Can't remember.
As far as being dangerous/obnoxious to others I currently have it aimed more downward but I plan on tinting the lens for the top 3 bulbs.
