Front end conversion
 

Thinking of converting my points front end with a streetfighter end, how easy is it to change the lamps over?

Re: Front end conversion
 

plenty info on here and svrider about it. not as easy to do as you would think.

Re: Front end conversion
 

I wouldn't say it was that hard, but I guess it depends on what you start with and what you want to fit. Have you a naked or faired model, are you planning on changing the forks?

Re: Front end conversion
 

I have a faired model, was thinking of taking the fairings off, leaving the belly pan on, putting the twin lamps on the current forks and keeping the current gauges but putting on a short screen, like a street triple.

I don't know how hard it would be to fit the new lights or if it would leave it looking messy with excess wires etc...

So you'll need to change the handlebars as well then, and don't forget the clock will need some form of mounting bracket making.
Mine started life as a faired S model, but I changed the forks as well and the enduro style headlights I've got are pretty much for daytime show, you seriously wouldn't want to ride anywhere at night with them!

Mine already has a set of straight renthals on it which I was going to keep, I was under the impression that Orem do a mounting bracket and backing plate for the clock. Was thinking either of these 2.

Whats orem ? ive been looking for that kind of thing

Re: Front end conversion
 

Sorry mate oem

Re: Front end conversion
 

oh i see , i thought it was some mystical company that made the thing i need!

Re: Front end conversion
 

What part are you after?

Re: Front end conversion
 

I don't think it exists, its a plastic housing that the clocks from a pointy 'S' can go into when they are liberated from the nosecone.

i dont know if the S clocks would just lot into the naked housing here :

Re: Front end conversion
 

Yes it would its the same clock, but I don't want to pay in excess off £150 for the separate parts.... Our clock ends at part 5 so you need the rest of the housing brackets and bolts.

Re: Front end conversion
 

Is that really the price? you could get a trailtech vapour + housing + indicator lights for £129 !!!

Re: Front end conversion
 

The lower casing is £47 and the silver side is £36 the brackets are like £12-£19 each and the bolts and clips are £2-£3 a go, so that's roughly £130... The only problem with the vapor is setting the tachometer I believe, and the hassle of setting up all the independent sensors as the use their own

Re: Front end conversion
 

I had a vapor on a basket case i attempted to build in my youth. The tacho is just a wire you wrap around the HT lead, and everything else uses the original wiring, as far as i know..

Re: Front end conversion
 

vapour probably looks better to, in my opinion.

Re: Front end conversion
 

if your going to put a small fly screen on then no need for casing. just make sure you electrical grease up the connector.
