Default Headlight Conversion

Again I have used my "Jimmy Riggin" skills to find a solution to the under-powered, and over-priced headlamp replacement bulbs. As the pictures show, I have taken the stock headlight assembly, and placed it against a bench grinder till it completly ground off where the orginal headlight fastened in. Being about an 1/8th inch shy of leaving me with a whole the size of a regular 9007 headlamp, I proceeded to dremel the hole untill a very tight fit was achieved. The fit was tight enough that all was needed was a little clear silicone to assure a water tight fit. I went to a local junk yard and he gave me two plug ends off of a ford to attach my factory wiring to. Thus allowing the regular ford plug to be used with the bulb. It produces much more light than the stocks, and I will upgrade to the "cool blues" in the near future.

Here are the picture links:

Dude, Jimmy ain't the name for that riggin'!!! That's wire twisting like I've never seen. They make connectors for that kind of stuff ya know? I'm just kidding with you. Nothing runs like a Deere. And she cleans up nicely too.
I skimmed through all 66 pictures, hope you don't mind. Man what the hell is up with those dogs??? Are they still alive?
And I also noticed that the CBR doesn't get the mud bath like the quads. Nor does the black horse. They want to play too.

And not to get in your business, but you really should wear a helmet on the street. No, it should not be mandantory, but it makes for a prettier corpse. Just my .02

all .02 are welcome by me. Well the picture was taken during testing the wires for hi - low beams and were crimped and heat shrinked.

The dogs, lol, yeah they are alive. Nether one are aggressive. They play like that but never bite down. Never had broken skin. Even though they play together, they would rather hunker down and **** before acting that way to a person!

Yeah, the CBR don't see much mud, but it does get 10,000 miles a year on her! I always wear a helmet, just so those few quick pictures of a few wheelies, and never rode it otherwise without although it isn't madatory.
