Thanks for the post/pics kyle.....keep the info coming  waytogo

+1. Thanks for the pics. And damn that is hella bright compared to stock. BTW, when you tried to fit it in the original ducati bucket did it protrude out that far also? Maybe instead you can follow the harley riders and just buy one of those rings that goes on top that will make everything look flush.

Thanks, kyle for the pics and info, seems like LED technology has progressed faster than I thought! One thing to note though, if you're making your own bucket for the Truck Lites, the housing may be designed to be a heat-sink with the airflow providing cooling for the LEDs and the driver electronics. You may need to have some kind of cutouts to allow air to enter.

The dual 35W HIDs seem like a workable idea too, though imo they tend to give my bike a Street Triple look. I found quite a few aftermarket dual housings, but all are designed for halogens and have the refracting (as opposed to clear) lens in front.

This could be your ticket Kyle.
