    Headlight options for the Husqvarna 610 SM/TE

    I fell over an image of a rather cool headlight upgrade for the Husky 610 the other day - but bugger me if I can find it again.

    Anyone who know about headlight upgrades for these bikes - or perhaps just an online store that sells aftermarket parts for them?

    I've seen a few Buell Ulysses twin headlight setups on motard & adv bikes & they look pretty cool. Apparently they're not too expensive & give heaps of light.

    Cheers for the heads-up. I'll have a look at it.

    I believe the image I stumbled upon showed a Husky 610 with an Acerbis Cyclope headlight and it looked ok. Here's one on a KTM: http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/4596/dscn0520fh5.jpg

    The factory headlight looks nice, but is very lacking in adjustment range. I'll have to either start modifying the housing and/or drop the front of the bike to get even the low beam to shine at the road.

    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    That's excellent if you should happen to have a KTM 690sm

    Now, the main issue with the Husky as far as I am concerned is just that the adjustment option are crap! They look sexy enough from stock and I'm sure that it produces an adequate amount of light - getting it where you want is the difficult bit.

    Neither do I want to blind fellow motorists by default (if I want to do that I can use my high-beam) nor do I feel a strong need to illuminate powerlines...
    Actúally, I would just like that my high beam would hit the road without me having to be on the brakes to achieve it.

    Guess I'll have to drop that front a bit and see how it goes.

    Seen something else on a DRZ...

    A Mamba, I think it was called... Apparently the guy got it from Langston racing.
