Advice on some parts - LED headlight, pots

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

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....

thats awesome. 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.

Thanks all.
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.

I dont know for sure but wiring headlights is useually pretty straight forward when you see what your looking at. any plugs you would need specal could be found at an auto supply store fairly cheap (>10$)
if you wanted a 7" bucket for that bulb ebay has a ton, its far more common than our 7.5" buckets.
