Yes... it actually comes with the butt padding off, so you`d be good to go. Post pics if you end up doing it

I can't believe it...

I am sitting here checking the new threads on the forum, thinking, "should I add a post in here to share the good news that my replacement headlight (since the first one never got here) will ship tomorrow?"

I hesitated but finally decided to post only when I get the damn thing... right at that time, the door bell rings... I go to open the door to my wife & kid (they had been at grandma's this morning while I was go-karting), when I see a young asian kid holding a big box in his hands standing at the door... he mumbles some stuff about how he got this box a couple of days ago and that the shipping address on the box "looks weird" and that he doesn't "have a use for it" and so he was dropping it to me...

I was shocked and excited at the same time... shocked because I think the kid has had it for over a month now and excited because I was actually holding my headlight in my hands!

Anyway, here it is:

It is slightly different than the first K5 I had gotten, but I think it's even better

And the headlight itself is a newer model of the gixxer hlight, as the back is different and had mounting brackets this time!

So now the question is: what do I do with the new headlight that is being shipped to me, knowing that the shipper got paid the insurance $$ for the first headlight that was supposed to be lost?

What would you do? keep it and sell it for a lucky SBN member for $400? Ship it back to the sender? keep it in case I crash again?

It`ll be mounted this wkd

So I just realized something... KMP shipped the K4 instead of the K5 as asked...

I checked their website and confirmed... here is what the K5 looked like:

So I think that mistake sealed the deal for me... I have a K5 for sale (if they do indeed ship the K5 this time!)

I think $400 is a very good deal (considering I paid double that for mine)...

oh and S107 did you ever go back out for an operation candy cane?

My wife says I am a dork, but I had the video camera on a tripod next to me all day while working on the bike

I put together a little video of the naked conversion, let me know what you think and if I forgot something...

Here is part I:
