those are h4 bulbs in that link to the halo thingy.  same thing as your stocker except with a pretty ring around it.  this is not an HID setup.

no, same kind of light (meaning just an h4 halogen bulb).  different size.  it will not fit directly.  your stock bucket is 7" and change - can't remember exactly how much bigger.

Ditto... Stocker is somewhere around 7 1/4"... which is why the MotoWheels kit has an adapter ring in it. Others have also made adapter rings in the past, but those are all one-off custom jobs. Nobody has actually produced the adapters for sale (other than the one in the MW kit).

That said, I don't think the adapter is any feat of high engineering. If you have moderate fabrication skills, you may be able to make one... or give MW a call to see if they will sell them separately (as I may do if I get serious about changing the reflector on my bike).

It would also be nice to see other images of this halo reflector, to verify the depth matches the stocker. I'm thinking there is some industry standardization for "7 inch reflectors", since hey are one of the common sizes for HD and cruisers, but I can't verify (ie, haven't researched) that theory.

If you go for it, be sure to post pics.

I'm thinking about it. but i blew my entire budget on an iphone instead... I'm not sure if that was a good investment haha  Roll Eyes I will definitely revisit this thread for pictures. It's not too much money if we can just buy ONE instead of a PAIR though.
