I just meant I’m gonna have to use it instead of the custom I had made Borrow his seat and have a custom lowered made with yours?

2talltim Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Installed some front switch back turn signal bulbs. Turns the front turn signal into an LED driving light but can switch back to a turn signal when needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your application may take a different bulb but pretty cheap on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NGUKZVA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_NTn9AbAZMY2H5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Well I didn't ride my bike today, but rode the hell out of @B-Mac's Vstrom and a friend's Africa Twin in my first ADV ride. It was an absolute blast sliding around in the gravel and climbing up some hills. I clearly have a lot of work to do in the low speed maneuverability and control stuff but man was it fun. I was laughing and hollering in my helmet much of this afternoon. Thanks for leading a great route! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure have the skills and ability to rock a ADV bike on multiple road surfaces. I hope to see one in your stable before the end of summer. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/stWeEfr8vdU" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put LED's in the SV. Like LED's 100% more than HID's and ballasts. Have them in my truck too. I've had good luck so far with Cougar Moto's like this: https://www.amazon.com/CougarMotor-Headlight-Bulbs-All-Conversion/dp/B01H6NZ7D8 Just be aware some trimming may be involved because of the fan/cooling fins on the back of the bulb are typically larger than and OEM halogen bulb.

TimTheAzn Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) I'm 2/2 in having a good experience with the stuff I've posted. One of the pair I made a custom harness for and they seem to be more than happy. IMO, it doesn't matter how small the LED is when the entire unit is pretty much the same size as other models. Wont help Tim's dilemma to or not to cut the boot. Also the cutoff didn't matter to me since I had projectors anyway. That may matter to Tim. FWIW Tim, Cougar makes H4 bulbs, I just didn't take the time to look up what you had. I just wanted to get the brand out there that I've used. Another thing you may want to take into account is, high/low. My cougar's don't have a bi-xenon functionality that the ones that Dan posted appear to have. So if your bike uses the same bulb for high/low then Dan's may be a better option. Idk. Edited May 11, 2018 by TimTheAzn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys have said their headlight housings have gotten water in them and it wont drain, And its a massive PITA to take out and drain and clean out. Cougar does make a H4 i looked it up already.

motocat12 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 My bike is running much better when stating up. Was looking at doing a tune up and saw my replacement "slipper clutch" check valve was split in half causing a big vacuum leak. It's a wonder it ran as well as it did.The valve halves snapped back together. Alloy ones in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need 80+ bhp to do any real "Back Road Burning" yesterday was medium pace but hyper is balls out the best. That is of course if you want to ride/tame a big heavy 500lb.beast of a motorcycle that can kick your ass if not careful. Go for it Jay, You all ready have blue riding gear. and you just turned 30.I am sure you and the mrs. with luggage should pull 70mph in that 6th. gear on the WR. Get a chest protector because you will receive rocks and gravel as I slide by. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
