Very Bright!!

Damn that's ugly :devil:
must work pretty good though!

[doc-bones]

Actually this is the best lighting available. As for being ugly?? I think it looks great. Looks like a Desert Beast! If you ride at night you can only ride as fast as you can see!!

WOW!!!! how many candle power and did you have to change your stator??

Doug,
That is one SICK lighting set-up. I have never seen one that good on a 450R! Did you make your own bracket? Two thumbs up!
I guess Honda4life05 thinks that is twice as ugly? lol
That set-up looks Great!!
Does your stock stator handle both lights?

I didn't build it, it is a Baja Designs quick release setup. The mount itself bolts to the quad. The lights are mounted to a cradle that is attached with pins to the mount. Pull two clips and unplug the lights and the lights come right off.

They do work with the stock stator, but I did have to add a small battery pack. (My 450R is a kick start model.) At very low rpms, the stator cannot keep up with the lights, so it needs the battery. Works great, I bought it back in 2006 and have a bunch of time on it. Have never had one problem. I attached another pic below.

Mines setup for desert. At 51" wide, I am no where near narrow enough to be a GNCC quad. I would just be a road block!

That looks identical to the one Harbor Freight used to sell. And I can tell you first hand that biatch is bright!

Those set ups are really cool! About how much do they weigh?

weight is not a concern when you are going 80 mph+ on a moon less night across the desert, it is very easy to out run your lights

[doc-bones]

Well stated OutlawBill! Been there so many times and hurt a few going faster than lights could shine!!!
But weight i think was 4.95 lbs!
Well worth the extra weight!
Doc

[D Bergstrom]

I am going to guess my dual setup weighs 10-12 lbs? That is just the lights, the mount is a few more. If I think about it tonight, I will put them on a scale and see.

But like Outlawbill and Doc said, they are well worth it, I don't have a problem outrunning my lights.

you need to check out the lazer-star lights much brighter / smaller with less weight and have less amp draw.

[D Bergstrom]

Alright, just my lights alone weigh 9.6 lbs, not to bad. I am not to worried about weight. Since I have a desert quad, the thing is already a tank!

Dennis45,
Laser Star lights? Hopefully you are joking? If not..... You are crazy.
2 Laser star lights are nothing to 1 8" HID race light. Not even close to be compared!
Alos 2 Laser Star lights draw more than my light!!!
