Has anyone got/seen/used these and what are they like? Build quality? Whats the trader like? Anything else around simalar that ou sell or know of?

Thanks in advance!

They look the business in the pictures.
Having never tried them or seen them in the flesh, I would not know of the quality. Ask the trader if the bulbs are avaliable locally- got caught out with a Chinese timing light recently. There are Standards for headlights, maybe do some study on the LTSA website?

I got my Craft RX6 helmet from Anarchy. The transaction itself went smoothly enough, but after about 4 attempts at getting a different sized fitting kit, the last 2 attempts (iirc) didn't even get a reply, I gave up.

Presumably he's not dead, I shall try again.

I would rate him B+, would probably trade again, but with slightly more caution.

I've replaced my single 8" headlight with a pair of the black ones. The bulbs referred to are standard H4 55/60w jobs, with rubber seals on the backs. The electrical fit are standard 3-pin, although I rewired to cut down on the excess cable so I could them way.

Both lights are on for both dipped and full beam, and you can adjust them independant of one another slightly. Width wise they fit almost perfectly onto the Ducati headlight bracket, although you can get an extra mounting kit.

The mounting kit would be a good idea if you're going for the streetfighter look, as it also matches the small screen that anarchy sells in a few colours. Would recommed either the chrome or the black. The carbon is a look-alike.

Edit: Forgot some other stuff. The delivery was pretty quick and well packaged, although one bulb did end up broken. Have passed a warrant no problems, so it's my assumption that the light is up to code (the lense/glass and bulb are definitely ok). Extra light isn't too much drain on battery for starting the bike either.

Thanks guys! They look cool if they are as nice and shiny as the pic shows them and my imagination leads me to think but buying from photo's and guesswork + the information from someone who's keen to shift their wares makes me a bit suss.

Eh YLWDUC, whats the width between the mounting points and are they threaded holes? Is there a gap behind the lens (between the lens and case) for wiring and that normal factory stuff in there?

Ive a mate with a 1200 Bandit with them fitted (chrome).Really nice.

Just rang my mate,yes the bolts are threaded and yes theres room in the back of them although he did say it was a bit of a squeeze.
