Light and 45w coil
I bought a headlight and 45w coil from someone on the other site a few months back and never installed it as it was white and horrible looking, today I hit it with some krylon fusion black and installed the coil on the AF.
It took a lot of hacking at the light part to get it to look halfway decent, the part above the light was at least 4" over the bar pad sticking up , a grinder took care of that
So far im happy, I haven't ridden anywhere but it seems to do the job, it does definatly go to 1 candle power at idle but gets really bright when revved, I already blew the low beam filament just revving it in the back yard
I was hoping for something that would let me cruise over to the hills at night and I think Ive done it, I dont think it will be too much fun when at the top of comp you get off the gas and it all goes dark
Im gonna velcro a little red LED to the rear fender and I'll be all legal
For $40 shipped im a happy camper.

I was just gonna find a cheapo battery LED mini flashlight to velcro on the back, or even a glowstick
I'll see how it goes but Im pretty sure its gonna need a regulator, it gets really bright when over revved.

Here is the coil I got, it is 45w not 35w so I edited the title

And here are the instructions for fitting (really handy after I already installed it )

I just got off the phone with them and ordered the RG-20 voltage regulator from them, it was $19.99 and came to $29.99 with tax and shipped. It will save headaches in blown bulbs.

yep ya need the regulator to keep peak voltage at 12.5 . BTW if you shoe horn a 35 watt H3 PIAA extreme bulb in there you get way better light.

Regulator got here today (fast as hell AA+++ for shipping!) and I just installed it on the tripples, the light no longer goes ultra white
I checked the bulb and its a weird one, Ill post up a pic when i find it.
