Was kinda funny as one of the bulbs actually melted it's way out of the housing and was dangling below the light ;D

OOOHHH cool Yeah that should be plenty bright. for your switch idea Why dont you make one turn on with low beam and both on with the high beam? Or did you get rid of your switch gear? I flashed forward to the pretty shiny bits in your thread.
Joe looks amazing!
I have used these in headlights before....cut a few vent holes and wire one of these in.. It'll never overheat. I had a chronic overheating light on a dirtbike that I upgraded to a higher wattage bulb, and mounted one of these inside of the bucket. Worked amazingly.

SOLD!!!!! awesome idea on the fan man!!!! awesome! i left all the stock switches on this one, not cutting anything out, wife is going to ride this one for a while while we sell her bob, after that is sold, this one is either being traded to my buddy for his 08' shadow 750 spirit for the wife, or sold as well and we are going to pick up a Evo harley and build her a chop, maybe even a buell we will see. we are not really "rocket" people, everyone i have had i have wrecked so i usually stay away from them, just so much power, and i can not help myself but to use it.
so she can rock this fighter while istart and finish up her cafe, She made it PERFECTLY clear to me last night at dinner that she does not want to be "that rocket chick" she is a chopper/bobber/vintage rider.... not sport bike.
I just laughed... i bet her opinions change when she twists that throttle or pulls up anywhere there is a bunch of bikes at. this sucker is going to turn some heads!

Well, not to be that guy, but I hope you have given her lessons on wearing a helmet! I would hate to see that pretty little face get shredded! I used to run here or there without one on myself, and I am glad I did not have to learn the hard way! After Chips spill on a test ride, I put my lid on just to sit on the bike! Not really but you get the point!

Thats goog to hear! What you got going on this weekend, plans on the rocket or what?
LOTS of work in the shop... Sean has his son this weekend so he is not going to be in there much, i hope to get alot blasted and run stuff that needs masked up over by him so that he can do that while his kid sleeps or watches a movie (just turned 2), then i can coat and blast what needs to be and he can still work. I have been polishing on a set of HD wheels now for the past few days they just BLING we are going to tape off an coat the centers with polished lips then clear the whole thing. will look wicked! also would like to get the rocket put together and started so all i have left is the plastics to paint and be done with it

Wouldn't she rather be a THE rocket chick instead of just an A Harley chick? Women on sport bikes are much more cool to see than women on cruisers. I'm just making an argument for sport bikes. 
Sportbikes rule! 8)
Sportbikes rule! 8)hahaha no way bud, not my wifey.... we are a very HD family, everyone in the family has a HD, no joke, all the uncles, dad, brother, about 28 bikes total, our easter dinner looks like a bike show cause we all ride to it. She really wants a evo bobber so we will see what is down the lane on that one, i am trying to get her to see the upside of the buell chops and bobs but who knows. I really like the M109 so i have tried to get her to look at that as well. we will see. we are going to start trying for a family here VERY soon so it all depends on that to see how long she will be riding anyway.
come baby time i am going to keep my harley and whatever project i have going. promised myself i would sell a bunch of scoots.

well sorry to say i did not get much done this weekened. worked my tail off in the shop on customers stuff, sat had a cancer fundraiser (my team alone raised over 2300 bucks) and was super hung over all day sunday
dad came by to check out the fighter, tossed on the plastics to give him an idea... he loves the powder, but kept saying, why a rocket? ha ha ha
I opened up my carbs and found that i have 107.5 jets in there (stock) and for the set up i am running i need 110, so i have to order some jets today.
shaved my head for cancer fundraiser and had some fun with it
made Sean some tail lights for his snowmobile last night
running
brake on

I jumped in a lake saturday morning up here in Minneapolis, for the polar plunge. They had to chip about 1 foot deep of ice away for us to jump in. Raising money for Special Olympics.
Love the bike! The orange powder is damn sexy! How do you know precisely what jet size you need for certain set ups? Or are you just making a good guess based on other bikes with similar set ups? I'm changing exhausts and filters and am curious about how you need to compensate jet-wise for both.

this bike has such a huge following, so all i had to do was find someone that is running a stock unmodded air box, v/h full pipe and ask. i can just swap from the stock 107.5 to a 110 and leave the stock needles. Granted i should prob replace them for a bit more adjustability but i am not to worried about it there are tons of guys running the same set up i am going to be and have no problem at all.
FZR's are HUGE in the fighter world and tend to be most peoples first "track bike" so their is not much performace wise that i can do that has not been done. between the exhaust, gears, jets, and tune this sucker will RIP!

you can shim the needle as well if you need to richen up the middle a tad. I think you will find that these bikes love a k&n in the stock box, WITH the snorkel still on the box. Also - these carbs EAT emulsion tubes (needle jets) and are really sensitive to float height. FactoryPro's emulsion tubes are worth every penny of the 120.00 they cost.
that is what i keep hearing.... i may have to bite the bullet, but for now the stock set will be fine. I am going to have to pick up a K&N filter it looks like, my box is not modded at all. just trying to get some gaskets right now. hell man that valve cover gasket is 48 bucks alone!!!
anyway, got seans race sled all set up for his back country trip, he now has a tail light and led running/brake lights... looks trick
reason i hade to mod some rear LED brake and running light is he carries a jerry can on the back and will be about 100 miles from any normal gas station, he just put in a trail tank in the sled and we got that all buttoned up last night, got the sled off the lift, and on the trailer so he is good to go
also coated the weirdest thing yet.... man took some work and some prep, out gassing, playing with temps, and baking but we coated a coyote head
and just for grins... got a shot of my new risers freshly CNC'd for my harley

DUDE! That skull is sick! I did not know that was possible! PM me details on doing a whitetail skull with horns! I just finished cleaning one up for a euro mount, but all my hunting buddies would shit if you covered it for me in powder! I think chrome! Horns and all! This may be the new thing in the taxidermy world!
