Light Recommendations?
 

Hi all,
I fancy tinkering with my naked curvy some more.... I have a small front bolt on fairing with the big single light. I'm getting a bit tired of the look to be honest and fancy a change.
I've considered the dominator lights. Ive found a nice black set on eBay for about 45 notes. I've read plenty off mixed reviews on brightness and spread pattern. I don't tend to do much night riding but i do occasionally. Philips do an 80% brighter bulb which my mate put in his BMW and he says it makes a world of difference. Will it make enough...i don't know. Soo i am considering the dominators with different bulbs. Comments?
What about other lights that people have tried? recommend? I want a good set of lights which are different but i dont want to ride blind!!Or spend and absolute fortune!!
Help and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

thinking about similar with my hornet. currently has twin dominators, and in standard guise they are poo. was thinking about fitting some projectors to it

bit thinking is as far as i got...

Oh they look nice. Pricey but if there good they are worth it! Shame they are chrome and not black but i guess easily sprayed. But for 130 notes i wouldn't want to faf around.

Re: Light Recommendations??
 

If it's something different you're after look at some of the lights on scooters. The headlight from a Gilera DNA looks good and so do a few others.

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

Thats a really good idea toxic. Any hints on which scooters? I dont pay attention to them so i dont know which ones look like what or whats on the market. I looked at the DNA and thats quite cool. I guess id have to look out for something semi mountable...

Re: Light Recommendations??
 

theyre actually pretty smart, at first I thought they had to be fitted into a headlamp assembly.

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

My fave light unit, purely from a cosmetic point of view is the pyramid Mantis.
They're 200 notes, so a bit pricey.

There is this...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KTM-Headlight-...0#ht_500wt_715

Repaint that, make a bracket and fit some projector beams. Projector beams can be had from Busters for £20 each BTW. Or Spend £50 and get a pair of angel eye projectors if you want the bling.

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

The only thing I can add really is that projector lights usually need a decent bulb, the philips +80's mentioned by the OP would be ideal and have come down in price since the +100 Vision's came out.

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

Cool. I like the KTM duke cowl good spot!!. If i got the cowl i presume i would need two projectors one high and one low beam. Would they fit ok i.e the diameter of the projector and the diameter of the cowl? Or is it just a given?
Also are projectors any good?

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

I checked the measurements for the KTM cowl and the projectors and i can make them fit :)
Just one more question...
Will the projectors on busters pass an MOT inspection okay?

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

If they dip to the left and are aimed properly it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

Cool, Ive bought the ktm cowl and the projectors. Im going to spray it matt black to match the bike... Cant wait and ill post some pics soon! Thanks for your help on this one Toxic!

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

Nice one, can't wait to see it!

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

I use a modified euro type faired sv headlight, I fitted a bosche projector unit from a bmw and the bike passed its mot a couple of weeks back no problem.

I dont see a need to use a higher wattage bulb in either my car projector lights (fiat) or the sv, the glass magnifier seems to do a very good job.

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

Is that halogen or HID leebex?

Re: Light Recommendations?
 

Just a h1 halogen.

Re: Light Recommendations?
