1. you lost a bolt :p

2. get a long (zero gravito) front fairing, place it lower so the upper edge comes where the stock one comes.
drill holes at the bottom to incase the lights.
in short, make a casing for it [smirk]

not my cup of tea...but as long as you're happy ;)

That is cool that you are doing something different just not my style either. I think 2 Acura lights would look better!

kinda like the matrix machine style. clean it up with some black and would look neat

It would look sick with 2 Acura projectors mounted side by side, and the 2 fog lights mounted underneath those, or one fogger centered under the 2.

But still sweet deal, i envy anyone with machanical skills... I have a hard time with Duct Tape, ha ha.

If you decied to hide the works, post some pics

I'm with Fox, not exactly my taste, BUT it's great to see any customization. Especially one with imagination.

You get a [up] for the cyborg-like factor.

Clean it up a bit and you have a very unique front end.

I like it.
I like anything that rats a bike out.
Makes it your own.
I wouldn't even worry about paintin' it.

Good work!

CON10DER8, I know this may be a bit bothersome, but if you could take the light assembly apart and reassemble it while taking it apart, then post the pics with instructions and a complete parts list in the DIY part of the forum that would be much appreciated. Also, where did you get the inspiration for this mod?

how much light do they put out. was looking at them again, reackon it would look pretty sweet with a 3rd smaller light with the bunch of 2 to widen it a little.

con10der8
09-27-2008, 04:57 AM
the 2 small ones are pretty bright. one is pointed a lil downwards and the other one is pointed straight ahead so the other drivers can see me...

Not exactly my cup of tea, but interesting, none the less. Great to see thinking outside the box.

How about posting a night shot with the lights on? You think those TSX lights would fit the fairing on a firebolt?

Yea man it looks good. Personally I would have maybe rotated it 90 degrees so that the fog lights were on top but it's yours not mine

How much did they cost, what brand and type are they? Are they 12v 55w or 12v 35w?

With a little masking/cowling, I think it would look the sh**. Kind of a "Borg" thing.

I seen almost that exact same setup a few years ago and really liked it, but that can only work on a black bike.

I'm pretty sure I have seen this setup before, but I'm in the UK now, so I'm not able to find the photo on my PC.
It looks sick, quite futuristic! I, too, wouldn't do that setup on my bike, but I dig the looks. Just some filing, lining up and painting, and it will look perfect!

Reminds me a bit of this (Ghezzi-Brian Furia)
http://www.motorcycle.com/images/content/Review/Ghezzi_6.jpg

and a bit of this (Buell-Ducati custom project)

Edit: just realised how old this thred is, probably I've seen another photo of the triple headlight jo on the "upload photos of your buell" thread on this very forum haha

yes but you haven't answered the most important question yet. Does that setup vibrate more than hillary clinton's dildo?[up]
