Not a clue, check the custom picture Blast choppers section - lol

And here is the reason I will be trimming the tail of my 2000 - lol - between the new front and this new rear and a few other trinkets, switching to clip-ons, (the Jotas for the XBBlast) - she will be nicely freshened up for the nest ten years! A nice modern look.

That looks great! Those bars are Jotas clip ons? What is that tail piece called? Have you changed the mirrors on the cr? I am saving my pennies for a cr! I am painting the foot peg arms on the blast black, and I am going to get my wheels powdercoated black. O and by the way I love my new diablos!

No - those are the Telefix clip-ons(profi-type)- way adjustable - top of the line stuff - lol - the lights front and rear rock and are really bright - since my morning ride consists of no sun - lol

I really need brighter lights as well. My riding is done where there are no street lights so it gets rather dark. You really like those small halogen light bulbs???

I upgraded them - took the bulb out, then took it to a store specializing in light bulbs of all types - showed it to them, and they asked what wattage I wanted it in - I chose two 35 watts - giving me a total of 70. I could have easily chose two 50 watts - I chose without the front lens to allow better cooling - I would suggest the same for someone else. Yes - the lighting rocks.

How hot does it get? It hasn't started melting the insides? When its on they are both on? Is there high beams?

What would make them hot is being enclosed, however, I oped for non- cover lens lights since the fairing already had a diffuser for the LEDs, figured I'd use it for the main lights as well - works great and that large air space helps to passively, and non-passively - there is air venting through as well - cool the lighting area so there is no overheating of anything. The 35 watt open faced lights really beat out the 20 watt stock Chinese units, and I imagine 50 watt could still work as well, I think anything over that would be too hot.

Pretty good night lights - bright as the CR at a tenth the price.

That does look great. Is the headlight aimed high enough for highway speeds? I wish I could justify the price of the fairing that looks like a droid from starwars! But I'd been looking at this light anyways

You remove the stock licenseplate tail light, blinker plastic section and bolt up the acerbis with the ebay blinkers - I used two sets of feder washers and longer bolts to make it work - for the wiring I hard wired it according to Buell diagram and Acerbis instructions - no big deal.
