Headlight Location

[300ex&RZR]

Is there any place to put the stock headlight other than on the handlebars, or what type of light do you reccomend and where should I put it. Please post pictures.

I took my headlight off and got 2 65 watt lights. you can put the stock headlight behind the bumper mabye?

Behind the bumper looks the best IMO. It works best with a bumber that ISNT closed up in the front like the one I have. I hade to drill the holes larger on mine so I could see at night.

I took a 2001 400ex headlight. and fabricated a mount to hold light behind brush guard. It works good. can see good. and no problems with over current on the stator.

i put mine behind the bumper. heres what i did:

1. take the light off the bike
2. remove the two 10mm bolts holding the plastic on and remove it
3. get two pieces of like 6"-10"x.125"-.25"x1" steel. really, any flat bar will work, and length is whatever your preferance is, as that is how high your light will sit off the frame. length is also determined by which bumper you use so you can get the most light out there. remember, your plastics are on top so don't make it too long!
4. drill a hole at the top of each bar big enough for the 10mm bolts to go through.
5. attach the bars to the light and bolt them on
6. remove the top bolts that hold the bumper on
7. drill a hole at the bottom of each bar big enough for those to fit through
8. hold the light in place so that the bars will allign with the top bumper mount (you may need to add washers to keep them straight)
9. place those through and you have it mounted!
10. wire it up however you wish! i ran 3 wires, each with a male flat connector on one end and a female on the other. this will allow the males to slip right in the factory plug and the females to go over the prongs on the light.

mine works great!

great job.....clean look...did you just bolt it right onto the exsisting plastic or remove the middle panel between the fenders?

ive always thought about like a 250r hood and put the light inside of it... not the stock one the after market one
