I haven't quite figured that out yet.

I will be selling it, it's not quite ready to go on the market yet but give me about 3 to 4 weeks.

Very nice. Those headlights look good when viewed in my mirrors. (I know someone who has got one)

That was Mrs S.

Her PS skills are quite 1337 for being able to select around the bike like that. Ups to her.

One of your headlight bulbs is out

bungbung is right you know. You should get that fixed.

I've actually seen a mod that can be done to sort it out. Problem is it involves putting the head light in the oven to soften the glue so you can get them apart.

Knowing my luck the whole thing would melt into a big blob of plastic.

That's the only thing I reakon Yamaha screwed up. The dipped lights should be on the outside and the full beams should be on the inside.

Nice paint job...

There is a company in the US that converts the assembly to having the two inside lights as low beam and the two outside as higher wattage high beam. They put a surround on them too, bit like BMW5 series so you can change colours on the fly.

You used to have to send the headlights away, but there is now a kit!

Very tempted:

They look pretty cool. Often wondered about accent lighting on my bike but not much point in Summer. Maybe come Winter time.

Apparently it was a limited edition. It's the only one that I've seen in with those colours but there are no doubt others around.
