Title: Headlights and K75s
Post by: Roadbandit on February 14, 2015, 03:35:59 PM

I'll preface this post with "I can do all the relay mods and change bulbs etc etc but a shitty reflector still be a shitty reflector"
I do my fair share ( and take some others fair share) of night riding. The reflector in my K75 has seen better days so its replacement time. I don't think the K headlight is that great based on how good my Kawasaki Concours C10 is

So, has anybody been down the projector headlight road and if so, your experiences.
(For the righteous law followers, our laws here in Oz are different to your laws in US of A.)

so this is the projector I've spotted…. not necessarily the right one or best but gotta start somewhere.
