What do you think?

[Llamaguy]

Here's where I bought it:

This is where I am now, I'm still waiting on my lights, should be here tomorrow or Friday, and I'm changing to Sport Demons as well (on Friday). I'm not sure about the gauges, The speedo doesn't work for some reason, but Legally I have to have it.

Oh and I'm waiting for it to get warm so I can paint it.

This is what I'm going for until I have the money to just get it.

Good start

Good start

Looks like a good start. Stay with it and you will have the bike you want. Takes time a some work, some cash, but when you are done it will be yours.

I've always like the dual headlight setup and was thinking about doing the same thing

 

[fat_sac]

Have you found dual headlights for a GS? I'd like to put those on my 1100.

 

[dig dug mx6]

I have seen a dual headlight for a SV650 which I'm sure could be adapted to the GS

Kind of like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dual-headlights-head-lights-DUCATI-MONSTER-SV650-SV-919_W0QQitemZ4626176035QQcategoryZ35621QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Those are hot, but not for 100 bucks. Would look killer on a GS though.

I used these on my project bike. I don't remember where I bought them or how much I paid.

They aren't as bug eyed to me, just an opinion.

 

[fat_sac]

Those are pretty cool too. I guess I'll have to fab sumpin up. Make a culmination of good stuff for one rad thing.:-D

I got a set off a CBR900RR that I should be able to modify into submission. for $20!

 

[fat_sac]

I need to find out the OD of my forks first. The brackets I have on there are too small and look stupid.

 

[Llamaguy]

Of the things I eBay'ed:
The Master Cylinder was a direct swap, the calipers didn't fit, but that wasn't why I won the auction so no loss. The lights are going to be a pain to "engineer" but it'll get done.

I just finished swapping the gauges tonight, I got all of the lights working correctly, I'm not sure on the tach because I have the wheel off and don't want to start it; but should be right. And hopefully the speedo is correct, everything I've read said that they would though.

should work good like a set for my gs1100gk

Okay I finally stopped being lazy and took pictures with the Headlights.

 

[graymulligan]

I like it...how bad was the fab work on the lights? They look almost "factory"ish.

 

[Jethro]

Dang cool, man- I like it. Who needs a Speed Four?

That's because you can't see where I left the original brackets below the lights..hehe, just don't get too close.

It wasn't that hard because I'm easily satisfied.

They originally had a bracket across the top. I removed the little adjustment screws and bent the back 90* and twisted them so they were horizontal(yellow boxes). Then I used a longer bolt through the gauge mounts and fastened them down using a large fender washer. To hold the headlight to the bracket, The top center is a ball joint and the bottom I just bolted directly down to the frame (red square).

Adjustment is simply holding the frame below the lights and bending it either up or down. They do give a weird pattern but they work quite well. I did have a problem with water though. Was fine until I put in the good Silverstar bulb, two days later it rains and it broke a $20 bulb instead of the crap $5 one. But now I have more electrical tape underneath the rubber boot to try and keep water out.

PS and yes I only run one, mostly because I haven't gotten a harness to connect the second bulb to run a back up.

Looks very slick. Nice job.

 

[dig dug mx6]

Nice

Nice

That's exactly what I wanted to do. Looks really nice.

 

[graymulligan]

really looks good, even with the old bracket on it. It doesn't look "out of place", and its not real noticeable.

Nice work.

Looks cool! IMHO, some superbike or similar (lower) bars would set them off well. I think using dualies on a GS would require both h'light bulbs to be lower wattage....I doubt the electrical system would support 2 55/60 bulbs together?
