Finally done with my bike for awhile
#13
I think it looks aweseome and its definitely always good to see em rebuilt after a crash instead of just being sold, you did a pretty good job with it. I have thought about putting a race fairing on the front of my bike and doing something similar to what you did with projectors. Maybe a stack up the center or having two on the left side and leaving the right covered. But anyway, how hard was it to mount that up and get it installed into the fairing?

Not hard, the upper fairing stay is aluminum, but the lower part that bolts to the frame is steal. So I welded a few small pieces of metal to the steal part and made the bracket to set the headlight on. I can still fully adjust the light up/down left/right to get the correct adjustment.
I had bought some projector lights to use, they are halo projectors with 55w bulbs. But the old light out of my streetfighter headlight was brighter and lit the road up A LOT better. So I used it, I didn't like the way the projectors put out light, I couldn't see crap. I'd like to find another headlight to use but until I find something brighter than that one, its gonna stay.

You did.... lol. It's for sale.
I'm wanting to get a 1000cc bike. Not sure if you could tell or not, but in those ride pic's I just posted there is a 2011 r1, 2011 gsxr1000, and a 05 gsxr1000. Most of the guys I ride with all roll 1000's and I'm sick of getting left behind in the straights.
