Title: Busted a$$ headlight bucket Post by EJID on 10/16/13 at 07:44:46 So I went for a ride to the insurance man's office to turn in my daughter's information regarding her first wreck, and when I pulled back into my garage I notice something wrong with my bike. Didn't notice a big bump or pothole, just saw it after I got off the bike :'( http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y366/ericandmaggie/th_IMG_20131015_160902_266_zpsa5de2c7d.jpg (http://s1030.photobucket.com/user/ericandmaggie/media/IMG_20131015_160902_266_zpsa5de2c7d.jpg.html) http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y366/ericandmaggie/th_IMG_20131015_160929_061_zpsd469c370.jpg (http://s1030.photobucket.com/user/ericandmaggie/media/IMG_20131015_160929_061_zpsd469c370.jpg.html) So now I'm obviously in the market to replace my headlight. Looking for suggestions/recommendations that will get me into a metal bucket. Should've been posted in RSD - mods are welcome to move ;) |

I like that headlight too, but wanted a chrome version. Only find that size in black. :( From ToesNose other post, I think he got one of those in chrome, so I keep looking - fun hunting around on their website too ;) |

Title: Re: Busted a$$ headlight bucket Post by EJID on 10/22/13 at 15:03:54 Clear, Thanks for the installed pics. The black looks good on your bike, as mentioned before, I still can't decide since I can't find that one in chrome. I really like the size of the light directly head on, but wonder would it be possible to install the bucket back slightly in between the forks more? Not sure if I like how it's stretching out there so far. :-/ I might see about mounting it from the top tree like ToesNose did. I'm just too indecisive :-/ Notice... your bike's profile http://clearush.smugmug.com/2012/Suzuki-Savage-650/i-xdPSVXS/0/L/SAM_0292-L.jpg Stock profile... http://p1.bikepics.com/2013/04/09/bikepics-2540122-800.jpg ToesNose profile... http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy206/bcrx2/IMG_3864_zps391eda3d.jpg |

Title: Re: Busted a$$ headlight bucket Post by EJID on 10/25/13 at 09:57:43 I decided to go ahead with the large black one...now I'm just waiting for it to come in next week. Too bad we have SNOW in the forecast for Monday. Bullet Visor Style Gloss Black Headlight Assembly 5.5" All metal (not plastic!) gloss black construction. Great for that clean custom look where a shell mounted high beam indicator is not desired. Includes black bottom mount bolt. High/Low beam. 5.5" Glass Lens. 6-1/4" x 8-1/4" Overall 12V Halogen Bulb Included Accepts standard DOT H4 bulbs http://i.ebayimg.com/t/NEW-12V-BLACK-METAL-HEADLIGHT-VISOR-STYLE-LIGHT-HALOGEN-fits-HARLEY-MOTORCYCLE-/00/s/NjY1WDYwMA==/z/j3kAAOxyhotSM1aN/$(KGrHqVHJBsFIm6-uuFyBSM1,NL9+!~~60_3.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/t/NEW-12V-BLACK-METAL-HEADLIGHT-VISOR-STYLE-LIGHT-HALOGEN-fits-HARLEY-MOTORCYCLE-/00/s/NzMwWDYwMA==/z/hlcAAOxy1yZSM1aM/$(KGrHqJ,!rQFIoo128KDBSM1,LuiWg~~60_3.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/t/NEW-12V-BLACK-METAL-HEADLIGHT-VISOR-STYLE-LIGHT-HALOGEN-fits-HARLEY-MOTORCYCLE-/00/s/NzExWDYwMA==/z/L9gAAMXQqC9SM1aN/$(KGrHqJ,!mIFInGyeZu0BSM1,NS2)Q~~60_3.JPG |

Title: Re: Busted a$$ headlight bucket Post by WD on 10/26/13 at 07:44:05 Not bad, still prefer a 7" sidemount... http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y490/mphsgal/LISA-HP/Photos/Savage/rkb1_zps6804e888.jpg Started with the flat black, scuffed, primed and painted to match the tins. Almost infinitely adjustable. |

Title: Re: Busted a$$ headlight bucket Post by ahernandez74 on 11/07/13 at 13:51:01 I like the profile of the chrome headlight a lot more. However, the black flows nicely too. Pretty nice! |
