Default Custom Headlights

Looking for ideas on a custom headlight setup....anyone have race plastics with a custom headlight cutout or setup?

I picked up a set of projector headlights and was thinking of ideas.

Well there the obvious double stack with one beam on top fo each other aka. Ducati style. Thats about all I've seen with regards to that. You going to run race plastics as a daily rider? I used to run a small fog lamp mounted under the nose temporarily when I had to ride it in the street at night when going to the track was immenent. Light output on that sucks but it was legal.

Yeah I am going to run lights to make it street legal. That is if I can figure out a way to make it look nice and not screw up the look of the race fairings. Not really to be a daily driver because I have a Victory Vegas for that but just in case I feel like tooling around the streets.

Going with LED strips for the tail light, no blinkers for now will just use my arm.

IF I cant find a good way to permanently add them maybe I will do like you said and mount them underneath or something to where I can take it off for the track or when not needed.

you know, i would be interested in how/if you do this...

my biggest concern right now is i am battling whether i should get an HID setup now or wait...because i am 90% sure i am going to do a projector retro-fit on my bike...

but now you bring up an interesting idea....i could get a race upper, cut it to make my own headlight and use bi-xenon to have a high and low with a single light or use two bi-xenons...the only major issue would be getting plastic to shield them...hmmm....damn you and giving me ideas...[:-]
