It took some getting used to, but I am getting better at maneuvering. It's a huge change from a dirtbike.That looks super sweet, Matt. I feel like I would be too clumsy and big for a bike though. haha Having something comfortable to sit on is definitely on my high priority list nowadays.
Side note: HOLY SHIT, you're alive!
Glad to hear things are looking up!haha...yeah man, I've been through a lot and am working on getting back into the swing of things. Thanks to Calesta, I may have something in the works. I just need to get my car running first! Ugh. That's been a pain but I am not about to jack your thread and talk about that. haha It's great to see you again.
You like the Morimoto mini? Any reason to go with the FXR over the mini? Huge performance upgrade or not very noticeable?
There definitely is a difference in performance. The mini has a noticeable bright spot at the center of the pattern just below the cutoff, which reduces the sharpness of the cutoff at that point. Other than that they're a great projector.
I'd probably try an FXR projector on my bike but the headlight bucket is ~4.5" deep, which means about an inch (maybe more) of the projector would be sticking out of the back of the reflector housing. The mini will probably stick out about 1/2-3/4" which leaves me some room to mount the ballast and relay harness.
If I ever retrofit a car again, I might try a larger projector. My Accord didn't offer much real estate for the projector, either. The mini slipped right in and with a little trimming of the reflector mounted to the lenses, the retrofit was done. Had the projector been any larger, I would've had to cut the headlight housing quite a bit to recess the projector enough for the lense to fit.
Glad to hear things are looking up!
I started a projector retrofit on the bike tonight. I went with the same projector that I used when I retrofitted the Accord - Morimoto mini. I bought a larger shroud to try and fill up as much of the 7" headlight as possible, and will be painting the reflector and shroud black. I'll post pics when I finish it, should be done tomorrow.
I've missed a lot apparently. Is there a thread on the Accord you worked on? Oh and how are you enjoying the bike so far?
Interesting...
That's all that matters right?*shrugs* like I said, I like it.
