hey i found this headlight by "bike it" called the rage http://www.flyncycle.com/acatalog/RAGE_UNIVERSAL_FAIRINGS.html#aHLURAGBLK
is this street legal? alot of headlights dont say but i see them on peoples street tards. thank you

Probably not D.O.T rated. I don't think that stops most people. Did it say 20Watts? That would definitely suck after dark.

that's the setup Langston Racing and Motostrano sell. Langston calls it the Black Mamba. Motostrano site says they have upgraded 35 watt bulbs to make it brighter. Unsure on the DOT, but my guess is no.

i had the acerbis version of that on my stunt bike.... i replaced the bulbs with 55w ones. it was a lot better than the ones it comes with... but still crap compared to stock

hmm, well the thing is im converting a 560smr to street, so it doesnt have a street title. I have to make everything nice and legal at least to begin with for the inspection

 

[goose07]

ne suggestions??

i was looking for something a little different and found the polisport mmx headlight for 52.00.it has a 35-35 bulb.i havent tried it at night yet but its dot approved which is good enough for me since i dont ride at night very often.

 

[swatdoc]

Just do what I did - get any DOT approved headlight for the inspection, then run what you want after that

 

[goose07]

ya the mmx looks good. shoot i guess i could do what you said swatdoc but im pinchn pennies to get this project done!

DOT legal and 55w bulbs

 

[swatdoc]

joe from motostrano checked for me and the rage / black mamba is NOT dot approved

the Acerbis Cyclopes is an excellent headlight... i believe its DOT approved, and has a good low beam, and VERY good high beam. Not just another flood light like most of those little round lights are.... It has purpose built reflectors that generate a useable pattern.

I think i'm running a 55/65 in mine.... can't remember exactly.

 

[Ungarisch]

ehhh, leave that for the stunt bikes...

 

[Nanotech9]

why? is a light with a number plate - originally designed for either dualsport or dirt or street application on a dirtbike type motorcycle... it may not look quite right on a supermoto, but its the best light for the buck out there especially compared to similar lights.


i'm sure other more expensive lights will do better, but for the money, its the best i've found.

Ugly... Cyclops and Diamond from Acerbis... Very German streetfighter style...

yeah those are the only 2 i found in both tucker and parts catalogs.. they are pretty cheap though and i can do a good deal on them ..
