Buckster Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Well I fitted the electrical connectors and fired up the halo on the new headlight, I also modified the mount so the existing headlight rim fits better. These were the spade connectors on the headlight and the bike. These are the new connectors. Here is how it looks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Nice work Ian, even though your thread has diverged onto the subject of Phil's teeth I think the headlight looks ace, I've used those type of waterproof connectors on lots of bikes, they're very good if a little fiddly to work with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the right tools it is straight forward, don't get the ratchet style crimpers, the best are the Engineer Precision made in Japan but there are other decent ones as well. I generally use the Engineer Precision crimper for the wire terminals then a generic type for the larger sleeve crimp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I forgot to ask, is it legal and will it pass an MOT ? I'm asking as the LED unit on my DR650 definitely isn't . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's a sealed unit from USA, so no dipped beam to the left. It's no biggie as it takes about 15 mins to swap back to the original at MOT time. I love it as when I ride home from work (country lanes, no street lighting) it's bloody ace, the O/E Suzuki headlight is pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it dips to the middle it is legal, it is only a problem if it dips to the right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
