Well I'm still new to the bike and all this but here are some before and after pictures of my headlights

Before side lights
Image

After White LEDs
Image

Before Low Beam
Image

After Sylvania Ultra
Image

Before High
Image

After Sylvania Ultra
Image

I also added these LEDs to the brake lights. They flash when the brakes are applied, off normally (the camera caught them on)
Image

I have also added accent LEDs (the camera didn't do it justice), bought some reflective red wheel stipes (photo after done) and plan on doing a fender cut down. I would also like to get some sliders (don't know if I want red or black) and a hugger.

Like I said first bike and been reading about your experiences and how-to's

thanks
steve

Very nice. That's the next thing on my list to do.

Now me not being that mechanically minded, was it that hard to do?

I don't see the difference on the high beam between the stock and the new light. On the low beam is visible but why don't you guys install hid lights instead? They are worth the money. And on the rear taillight you could also install a led light.Image

It was pretty easy to do. Didn't have to take the Fairing off, just removed the instrament cluster, two bottom screws and lift out. the only trouble was getting my hand in there to remove the low beam bulb. i was at a weird angle.

I plan on eventually doing the HID lights, this was just a quick fix, took maybe 20 minutes to swap out.

For the rear i would like to re-do the tail and use LED for turn signals and tail light. wasn thinking of the intigrated tail light. Saw a GSXR with one, but i have read that the turn signals need to be 9" apart in the states. Has anyone had any trouble with theirs not being the correct distance apart.
