Hayabusa question.

[Fred]

I just picked up a Hayabusa headlight for the Black Bike.

It's got two lights, an upper and lower. Can somebody tell me which one is the high beam? And, when the high beam is on, does the low beam light stay on?

Cool, I can hardly wait to see it mounted on the Beast. :thumbup:

Can you tell from the wattage of the bulbs? Higher watt = high beam? Have no idea if both stay on.

I can always just wire it up and look at the beam pattern, but that sounds like extra work.

I'll probably wire the low beam on constant and the high beam on a switch. Since the K75 has a 460 watt car alternator, the extra load won't be a problem. If it is, I'll swap out for the 700 watt alternator.

Oh yeah, it looks ****ing evil.

I bet it does. That was a stroke of brilliance. Besides everyone has the dual Buell look. Not a bad look but not unique anymore.

Any more work on the saddle? I really like that idea too.

Oh, you need a naked Bardie doll on the bike somewhere.

Here it is held in place.

The seat's coming along. I deburred all the metal today. This Sunday my seamstress neighbor Kim and I are going to have a go at making the cover for it.

That LOOK'S TUFF!!! :thumbup::thumbup: :rockon:

By looking at it, I would assume that the bottom projector is the low beam and the top is the high beam.

looks good.

Pictures I've seen show the top portion on and not the bottom, so I'd assume top is low beam.

Edit: Just read the article and yes the lower projector is the high beam.
