Customizing vertical dual headlights

[awax1969]

@Stormtrooper .. people like you make life easier.  Thanks man...    
I will receive my bike mid jun and by then I will sure would have bought the stuff by then and start on this project.  One question...:  do you think i should just forget about the blinkers?  They are attached to the main original headlights...

Guys once I am dont I will sure share the photos with you

Glad I can help!  I would love to see this stacked setup on your 796.  Ditch that damn smashed cartoon headlight!  Regarding the blinkers; yes you need those.  Here are a few clean options:

Oberon bar end LEDs (I run these and love 'em!)


MBW fork wrap around LEDs


Joker Machine LEDs

Stormtrooper, I love this concept!  I have been debating doing the Rigid Dually like you did, or the stacked like awax is looking to do.  I got in touch with Crime Scene Choppers and they said they're having some of the brackets you had made crinkle black powder coated so I may order one and start with that idea.  Nice work man!

Nice.  Rigid recently introduced this model, the SR-Q2.  If I were to do it again I would use this one instead of the D2.

Do you think that would fit that same custom bracket you had made?  Or would it have to be stacked vertically?

The Brackets above "the two fork clamp mounts" which @Stormtrooper posted seems to be great BUT:

what is the size of the clamps relative to the center of the two forks.  I am a little bit worried that the vertical headlights would be off centered ...

anybody knows what the is the exact measurement of the space between the two forks?   The forks as I heard are 43mm

Also, I may have been reading it wrong, but does this SR-Q2 throw 1568 lumens compared to the 2600 with the Dually 2?  Doesn't that mean you'd be getting less light?  Forgive me if I'm wrong (and I usually tend to be), just thought I'd ask.

The distance between the forks is about 6.5" if I recall.  For alignment; you would just rotate the fork clamps on the fork axis in order to get the headlight vertically aligned...easy peezy.  Forks are 50mm O.D.

The SR-Q2 throws 3030 lumens...more powerfull than my D2 at 2600 lumens.  And YES it would fit the Crimescene mount as-is!  The width of the SR-Q2 is 5" which would fit nicely between the forks.  This would look better than my square D2 IMO.

Thanks man!  Yea, looks like I may have to go with that one then.  

Edit:  Just ordered one in black from Amazon.  Whenever I can get the bracket from Crime Scene I'll be reaching out to you Stormtrooper for some help and hints with the install.  Thanks for the great idea!

@Stormtrooper  Respect man

Forks are 50mm at top triple 54 at lower triple so depends where your mount clamps as to sizing
