Is it just me or is anyone else having problems with there stock headlight cracking on the adjuster tab? I have gone thru two of them and I don't ride but 5 to 6 times a year in the dunes.

 

After my frist light breaking loose i had the back of my head light fiberglassd at all the mounting points and have never had a problem since. but yes they do have a problem i belive the glass lens is to much weight for the plastic mounts!

 

Not to many people ride as hard as you Bighead.

 

riveted a metal plate to the back of mine.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

been riding mine for the last year with the left side hanging by a thread. the 04's are going to have a light weight set-up hope will work on our's.

 

Me to for the last year or so. Except both top ears on mine are broke. Duck it, thats what I did. And it acts like a vibration Isolater too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I broke the light on my 2001 DS, I think I'll just try that new light setup on my Baja when it comes out then I can put the original light from my Baja on the 2001, then I've got my bike lightened & the other one fixed. I also heard about a new HID kit coming out that is supposed to be rather inexpensive. The cheapest thing I've seen thus far is $399.99 so if they got a kit down to $199.99 that would be pretty affordable.

I broke my light when my head (helmet) hit it though, not due to fatigue.

 

i'm sorry but how much does our headlight weigh? it can't be that much. i think getting a lighter oil tank would a long way to save weight.

 

Anyone else have the problem of the 100watt bulb melting the plug socket. Is there a better plug avaliable.

 

I run the 100w extreem white. And I haven't had any prob with melting yet. I've been using it now for a couple months. I added the trail tech 55w floods to come on with the high beem head lamp about 2 weeks ago. They are killer bright. Only 44 bucks each too. As bright as these are you could remove the head light if ya wanted to.
