recently bought a used acerbis DHH headlight form a buddy in mint shape for half the price.. anyways i mocked it all up today on the F4 and after spending the time to label and put everything in seperate bags for my upper and everything I decided to take it out for a test ride quickly, within 5 minutes I was being pulled over.. luckily i have everything ghetto rigged to keep it legit.. mirror mounted on left side of cage, turn signals zip tied to lower.. low and highbeam.. ...anyways the vibration seems to **** with my connections and cause my lights to go out so what do you guys do to keep your lights hooked up?

 

i would solder everthing

 

but the connection is being lost between the bulb and the connector itself.. i can't solder the bulb on or else i'll be in a abd situation when i have to change it out

 

sounds like you need to use less ducktape and zipties

 

try some electric grease

 

sumpin aint right, redo the whole ****, either solder or use male female connectors and unless you are drunk when doing this it should be good to go mine used to work great and I had it hooked up directly to the battery and my handbrake bolt for a ground (ghetto) but I did many for friends

 

it was jsut for mock up thats why theres so many zip ties and electrical tape, tommorrow i'm gonna fix everythign up was just wondering if anyone had any ideas how to make the connection more resistant to vibration.. the connection between bulb and socket.

 

if theres that much vibration then yer bikes fucked up

 

nah man i think its just cause i had it mocked up i'll double check everything tommorrow and make sure its all good to go or else i'll hafta think of something else

 

good luck bro!!!!!!!!!

 

hah thanks man i'm off all long weekend so i wanna go practice so i'm gonna finish this thing tommorrow:YEAH

 

DHH headlight is designed for offroad bikes so they are pretty sturdy and should cope with vibrations FINE!! if its not something youve done when fitting it up then the headlight is faulty!! but I'd solder all the connection or use male-female connectors with a decent crimp tool (not a pair of pliers! ) then try again before deciding the headlight is junk.

 

screw that holds the backing plate to hold my lights in fell out thats why the lights were jumpin on and off. problem solved thanks everyone
