Nice beam that hit the road at a good spot and obviously a nice white light.

Yes I already adjusted the beam , what I am talking about is the throw "distance" and beam pattern .

I guess I'm just used to high-quality projector headlights

Ahhh, finally another lighting afficianado lol. It shouldn't be too surprising these headlights don't have a lot of throw to them. Consider where they were made. Also, the design was probably intended for an "off road" vehicle that isn't meant for very high speeds (though capable). Usually distance lighting is sacrificed for beam width and foreground.

I was going to wait to see for myself what the stock headlight is like, but I was considering a round headlight conversion so I could run a 5 3/4 Eagle Daymaker Gen 3 LED headlamp. I would be interested to see what the results of a projector retrofit would look like though. Definitely make a thread!

Yes I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to lighting. But your right it's fine for off road slower speeds but on a pitch black road doing 50+ mph it sucks.

[Kipper1012]

Speaking of higher speeds I got my bike up to 70mph today or should I say my speedometer said I did.

My gps said 63mph and I know my gps is dead accurate. So my speedometer is of by 7mph and my bike topped out at 63mph I wonder if the people that say they can "cruise" at 65mph are going by the built in speedometer because at 63mph mine is at 8k rpms

Makes you think, is this with all the mods done or are you stock?

I was gonna say; I bet Kip is bone stock with those numbers....I'm stock and it's like he's reading my gauges LoL

[MOTOXtreme]

I'm waiting to see which brozz owner takes a cutoff wheel to the cat on the exhaust first. Trying to decide if that's a better route, or go aftermarket. I may be the only one but I like the looks of the stock exhaust better I think.

I wouldnt trust any of these stock speedometers, although 7mph is one of the better ones I have heard of

Its for a 250 Storm. I don't know how to put up links so you have to look for it on their site if your interested in it.

I might end up going that route. It bugs me that it is off. that was one of the reasons I went with the brozz over the hawk.

[Kipper1012]

On a side note I put some bling on my bike today. My monster stickers came in.

Looks great Kipp! The bikes are always greener on the other side.
