One of the guys I ride with is on a Sportster with that headlight and it is bright as hell. On the straights we see him over half a mile behind us coming around a bend.

[laugh]  Good one.......

What's the lumen output of this headlight?

It only lists the wattage, which is 3X3. So, @ 160 lumens per watt I guess that's 480 lumens on the low beam and 1440 on high beam? the high beam uses all 3 LED's.

Yea, now you have me curious so I'm researching it. They made no claim as far as lumens go, which concerned me at first but a lot of motorcycle LED headlight manufacturers including big names like PIAA don't either.  :-\. Measuring lumens by wattage of cool white LED's is apparently not accurate as I'd previously thought. A brain like Ducatiz could probably shed some light on this.

And now just bought some bling....  Bought a few DucaBike parts from BellisiMoto, as well as a paddock stand to make life easier for working on it.  Ohhhh this bike is going to cause a bad addiction to modding like my Jeep has been so far!  Haha   [evil]

Love the Ducabike stuff. Just got a box full of Ducabike bling from Bellissimoto myself! Gas cap, oil plug, sprocket cover, and frame plugs.



And a billet Hurst pistol shifter for my '89 G20 creeper van, haha

That looks sweet Buck!!!   [thumbsup]  How long did it take for you to get them shipped to you?  I figure it'll be a few days one way or the other seeing as I did regular shipping.

Have to love a creeper van!  Hahaha

Mine took a minute since none of it was in stock, but from Italy to SC to my door wasn't more than a week. If its in stock it ships USPS priority, so depending how far from SC no more than a couple days. I had mine the day after it shipped from Greenville.

Creeper vans are a must! Unless you're single and it's your only transportation, lol.

You will not be disappointed with the DB stuff you just got.  Have all of what you just bought but the sprocket cover.  Think people are really beginning to dig the stuff tehy produce.

Fer sure! I've seriously tested the limits of my wife's patience with the $ I've spent on this project...might as well show it off hehe. Waiting on my headlight from the UK and my custom dash pigtail, then it just might be..."done".

Thats Retro-badass there!  Cant wait to see the final results.  Is the Monza headlight the one with speedo mounted into the back of it? 

I got my Q2 mounted up this weekend, had to drop the cluster another 1.5" to make it look right.  Light output is insane [Dolph]  Gives the bike an even more 'bionic' look [laugh]

Here's my abomination >>>





Hey Storm, have you taken any pics of the light output at night??
