BuddyRich Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted February 25, 2011 81 bucks. Cheaper than an OEM probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave77459 Posted February 25, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 25, 2011 What would it take to install it? $81 isn't too much for something cool like that. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted February 25, 2011 On the RSV you bust out the old headlight and goop it in its place. I'm not sure about the RSTD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyRich Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted February 25, 2011 Just looked and it looks like one is the H4/9003 so it would not need a plug change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydoc_17 Posted February 25, 2011 Share #8 Posted February 25, 2011 Hey Buddy, This is a REALLY Cool head light for the Second Gens! You being the electronic wiz, (Unlike Me!) would it be possible to A) connect the white LED's to a "blinker relay" and have the head light appear to Modulate as you were driving down the highway, B) connect the Yellow LED's to the present turn signal system on the RSV and have an extra set of turn signals right in the head light? If I had a Second Gen., I would be ALL OVER THIS! I've SEEN your bike Buddy, you're my hero in the LED Dept. Just wondering, Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share #9 Posted February 25, 2011 I think it depends on the light pattern of the headlight. If it mounts "top up" and the yellow Leds are on the sides then you could tie them to your turn signals. Modulating the whites would be something totally different. That would depend on how they are wired, if the can be dimmed. You would not want them cutting off and on because then it may appear to strobe. I may order one this summer and check it out.

Dave77459 Posted February 25, 2011 Share #10 Posted February 25, 2011 One of the views shows the side and back... What do you think? http://www.iowa80.com/DirectionsWEB/client/images/a177330.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaking Posted February 25, 2011 Share #11 Posted February 25, 2011 I tried modifying a VStar bucket to fit into the RSV bucket system and gave up.. There IS a mod on this forum 'somewhere' that I stumbled across that involved prying back the flanges holding down the light inside the RSV bucket to get the new one in there but since I didn't have a spare to play with (not willing to risk my only light and then not being able to ride if I killed it..).. It is possible but it requires a lot of teeth pulling through the elephant's assets to make it work.. But dang.. nice lights.. Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 25, 2011 Share #12 Posted February 25, 2011 This may be the article that you are thinking of. Very nicely done and submitted by Eck. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=498 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted February 25, 2011 Share #13 Posted February 25, 2011 Based on those pics of the back side, each side of LEDs are wired separate so they can indeed be used as turn signals. BUT, Since we always ride a MC with the headlight on, will you even see the LEDs through the glare of the main bulb? I think that these may be more for cages where you will be able to see the LEDs when the headlight is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave77459 Posted February 25, 2011 Share #14 Posted February 25, 2011 I also wonder how effect they'd be as turn signals. A couple uses that come to mind are those PodMod "twinkle lights" that enhance visibility, and as "parking lights" that remain on when you turn off the bike. Also, just looking cool as we roll.
