I have been talking about the Cyclops look for a while. I'm now on my way. Misc parts coming in from all over, fork brackets, electrical plugs. etc. I was hoping to get a little info on the wattage or any other issues from wiring up the LIghtning H7 wiring straight to the hi/lo to an H4. Seems straightforward, but I need to read up on that.
Thanks for the info and parts along the way frankiefilth, thrstrmech...
I'm also putting on new rubber, bearings and painting a few things. Here is where I am:
I wanted a look like this:
I was originally thinking I'd need to modify the brackets like this:
But after getting the headlight I wanted, and checking out some bracket options, I think I have enough room to leave the blinkers were they are. I like the Rizoma's I bought that I have in the stock location, and after I grind the edges of my cut down and paint the brackets black, I think it'll look pretty clean:
I can't really push tis back all the way without the brackets, the thicker harness wire is going to be a little displaced once its bolted in, but tis is were it'll be. If it is sitting a bit low for my liking, I'll have to cut the blinkers off of the bracket and just run them off of the headlight fork brackets. But, you kinda get the picture:
And I'm replacing the bearings as I'm putting the tires on. The front bearings weren't bad, but the rear spacer doesn't have as much play as the front did, it might prove to be a little more difficult. Yeah, my rims were already a little nicked up, changing my first tire didn't help. Good think it was already a chincy paint job to begin with. A coat of black and clear turned out pretty good. It'll last until I need new tires again and can hopefully go powdercoat...
My little helper here. Someone has got to be able to hand dad a wrench...
