Any pictures of it at night shooting against a wall to see the cut off?
This is the best I have. Output is concentrated around a central oval within a larger circular pattern.
Great job! I liked how you did everything so clean and to the way you wanted. I'm still trying to figure out a way for me to fit brighter headlights for my S2R. Was trying to decide between HIDs or the trucklite LED and now you may have convinced me to look into these. Though I'm not sure I could do as clean as a job as you did.
Is the headlight just mounted on 1 point on your custom designed bracket or is it also mounted to the 2 carbon fiber winglets? I'm wondering if theroetically I can mount 2 of these side by side using the original U bracket.
The headlight is mounted with just the 1 point (M8 bolt). The carbon winglets are only cosmetic, they provide no structural support.
I can dig it.
Did you make the carbon parts?
Not from scratch no, I simply cut, formed, sanded, and shaped from CF sheet stock.
The LED light is $200 and the bracket is listed for $45, according to each website
The headlight retails for $200. I paid Crime Scene $90 for the bracket. The $45 one is for a Harley or something and is what I modeled mine after. We designed several changes to it to make it work for the Monster so they made a custom CNC program for it --- hence the extra cost. My mount is wider eye to eye, has standoffs built in, different lightening holes, and a slot for the mounting point for versatility compared to the Harley one, and of course the black crinkle coat. So here is the approx. project breakdown...
$200 LED
$90 bracket
$25 Harness stuff from Eastern Beaver
$50 (carbon fiber - optional)
$5 misc hardware - bolts, nuts, washers
...BUT considering I sold my stock headlight assembly on eBay for $450...I got paid to do this!!!
