Ok, so I decided to go all the way around and it looks bitchin! Gonna post pics later when it is dark so we can see the full affect. one of the downsides of buying cheap for products and not testing them before instal is that you get three of the lights on one of the strips that do not lite. I will leave it the way I have it and buy a new set. They were $3.50 per set (yep, two) including shipping so I don't really think there is a point to arguing with the vendor. Pics to follow!

Good to hear another source of OEM type parts!!

Ok, if you cannot tell by now, I am a "can't leave well enough alone" kind of guy. I really like the 'white-light halo' look in car headlights and in a few sport bikes I have seen so I thought I would mod mine. It took a minute to find a vendor (even on ebay) that had what I was looking for. The strips are the same type as I used for the ground affects that I purchased from Harobor Freight only are white. I am not finished, but thought I would post what I have so far. I am trying to decide if I should leave the lights as is, or complete the whole halo. Any suggestions? Enjoy!
Plain headlights, no mods:

Lenses removed:

shots of the tabs that hold the lens on:



Stock lights (well not stock, I replaced the main with the one you see, and the small marker with the LED one) I will wire the halo's into the existing marker (small LED one) so they come on together:

What the LED strips look like:

Side view:

Another front view:

W/Lenses set on for mock-up:

I think it will be pretty stealth unless the lights are on. Feedback please on the current outline or to continue them all the way around.

So far it works well, it is louder than the old one, but since recently I am riding with a lot of folks with 150cc 2 stroke vespas and Stellas no one notices. ;D The header was $25 (all stainless) and was bought from 'headman' over on SD. It is a very solid piece of harware.

What is Rick charging you for the 200cc motor?

OK, there was a thread on the dog forum about installing an airl fuel gauge and the benefits of it. I thought this would be VERY cool so....
My fellow ASSC Utah club member Skye (yes the one whol built the cuctom chooter) is an awsome welder and helped me by welding an adapter and bung onto the stainless Header. I still need to tune it, I can say I am running waaay rich and am expecting some speed gains when I lean it out. Here are some pics. Sorry not to many, I will answer any questions. The exhaust is my version of the lawnmower muffer mod with a fancy tip over it.

I like the location of the gauge, jus tnot how it sits. I need to mod it so it will angle up so I can read it while I ride. I am also going to put in a volt meter on the oposite side of it just to balance it out in the looks department.
