haha seeing all the conversation on burnouts lately, I tried a little one in my side patio last night... the ground is tiles, so that made it real easy It was pretty cool, but I`ll wait until my tires are almost dead (they`re almost brand new right now) to take it to the next level

My tire WAS quite new , original Bridgestone BT-020 with mileage about 5500 km's (about 3400 miles). Well I think I'll change both tyres in 10000 km maintenance. I think that I'll drive rest 4500 km's in two or three months... Previous owner didn't drive a lot...

I need to finalize the wiring so I can wrap it all up and tuck it away

Can anyone direct me to some web sites for naked headlights. Looking for something like Waves's...something that has a little more to it than just a single light or the dual lights I have seen. I know acerbis has some, but was wondering if anyone knows of any other manufacturers.

Thanks!

Here are a few US websites that carry street fighter headlights and fairings. Most of the good stuff is over in Europe though, so it's hard to get a hold of those without having to pay through the nose.

Fly N Cycle, Inc. Headlights & Fairings
Fairings. Wild Hair Accessories. Motorcycle Accessories & Aftermarket European Parts.
XPO StreetFighter, Inc. Store - Product Catalog
Fairings. StreetFighters Inc. One stop shopping for Motorcycle, Sportbike & StreetFighter Fairings.

I saw angry guy's stuff, it's all nice, but not my taste. I think I might just have to go with the Falcon, as it has a good price and uses 55w bulbs. Most others I am seeing are less bright. Still time to figure it all out.

The Demon headlight is also a pretty cool looking sub-$100 fairing. I'm not sure how bright they are though since they use 25W bulbs, but then again I don't do very much night riding (not DOT approved). Looks like it's out of stock.

Sweet!!! I really like that HD headlight on the fizzer... post pics when you got it hooked up, so we can see the light output

I updated the flickr page and the first page of this thread too...

It's hooked up (need to deal with the blinkers) and I've done a ride at night; I'm very happy with the lighting and even took a picture of it (will post later).
