LMAO! I'll let ya know, not sure on looks yet but it's easily removable so that'll be a plus.

I hope to have a thread on it with kind of a "how to" on lighting a 50.

Re: So does this mean I can't legalize my 50?

I have no clue how well it'll work, but I'll be the guinea pig.

it says it comes with only 1 halogen, but has 3 lights... makes me wonder WTF bulbs the others use... I'd guessing a H1 or H7 for projector and maybe 194 for the 3rd bulb which I'm assuming is the thing between the headlights (like on a Gen1 SV650S)

Re: So does this mean I can't legalize my 50?

Just keep in mind guys. Having a bike as little (short) as a 50 is VERY dangerous on the streets. Especially here in Louisiana with the retarded cagers we have around here. Its bad enough the cagers always say "I didnt see the motorcycle coming"....IF they cant see a normal size bike. Then that means they sure as hell are having a hard time seeing the 50's, LoL.....=-)

Ride like everyone is out to kill you....=-)

the light on the left is the projector and on the right there is 2 bulds in the one housing!
"Spot light fitted with 55 W halogen bulb, Flood light fitted with 55 W halogen bulb and 5W incandescent bulb"

Re: So does this mean I can't legalize my 50?

Yeah I'm just doing it for the fun of it more than anything.... But cool I can ride to buddies house with no issues. My busa sold today so after paperwork is done, I can go pick up an 09 in Houston and start modifying it while taking breaks to play on the 50.

Sounds weird, but who knows... I'm curious how it'll look.

Re: So does this mean I can't legalize my 50?

Headlight came in today... I'm digging the look though just held it up there. There is ZERO instructions that came with it, thank God I got my BS in this crap! By some freak chance, anyone know of an instruction link?

Weird part is appears to be two regulators, one in a box and one out....

Re: So does this mean I can't legalize my 50?

Yeah I just stuck it up there, did cross my mind on where the brake cables and throttle will be.

Thanks for the link, kind of hard to make out but better than I had before! I'll drop them a message in hopes of a more clear wiring diagram.

Re: So does this mean I can't legalize my 50?

I haven't messed with it, been looking at new busa parts at the same time, lol.

As for why I like them so much? Comfort.....that's pretty much the main reason. Not the prettiest of bikes (new one I'm still iffy on), but it's sure as hell comfortable.
