wow! Marthy did some nice work on that midship. how loud is this exhaust? like open header loud. Cause i have the danmoto XG-1 and its kinda too loud for my taste in the city.

Just plain crazy...
My mivv double gun was louder. It's really not that bad. But it's definitely loud enough to merit attention on the freeway.

Possibly, but I broke mine in just like that, and so did a buddy with an r6s, we BOTH had a few more HP and TQ than other stock bikes on a Dyno that notoriously runs a few numbers low.

So like the first post says, just for everyone's information. But I appreciate the comment.

I'm not drinking the koolaid, just inspecting the recipe lol

Of course. Anything can be done with time. Let me know if you want to do something like that. You will need a different projector that is a little smaller.

I am crazy enough to want to try this. Would be getting a spare be out of the question? From what it looks like, they are about $50 for the lens assembly. My first question is how much room is BEHIND the headlight?

That isn't going to help me with room once it is installed. The way you retrofit one of those headlights is the projector will be hanging out the back. If it doesn't sit far enough away from the frame, the projector will hit...just the nature of the beast.

Dang... that round light would look so sick retro fitted! Really hope to see it come to life, that would look amazing.

Rabbitman,

Don't try retrofitting an HID into that enclosure - part of the halogen magic for sealed-beam-style headlights is in the fresnel-like cut in the lens, unlike ours in which all the halogen magic is the reflector.

Put an HID behind that stepped lens and you'll end up ruining the even light of that gorgeous HID.

Now, if you could find a 7" reflector with a clear, non-stepped lens... that could be the shiznit =)
