Was wondering why you went to 6 headlights bulbs instead of the projector lights on the Firebolts?

Did you guys finally figure out yet that the coating on the inside of the headlights assembly on the Firebolts fails over time and the lights go dimmer with mileage on every year that this bike has be in production....

Will the same thing happen to the new design? Or do you think it will corrected with more light bulbs?

The only negative I have on my xb9r is the headlights. I installed 100 watt off-road H-Is one week after buying the bike and still want for better headlights. I tried 2 high beams, I tried 2 low beams, but nothing helped. I put my deposit down on the 1125R and I'm sure 6 lights will be better even if they are only 35 watts each (I hope).

Headlights...who needs headlights. Don't know why you need those for track bikes, but I guess I'm missing some thing hahahaha.

Jason, lets go for a ride this weekend at night. We'll pull the bulbs out of your bike, and then you can repeat that statement for us : )

Whether it was meant to be or not, this really sounds like a loaded question, and I seriously doubt your going to get a response from an Anony no matter how many time this thread gets bumped.

The wife has a Honda Metropolitan scooter with a 35 watt head light that is one of the best headlights on both low and high beam I have seen on 2 wheels.

I would like to mount two 9" LightForce 240's on my XB9SL. I think as long as I keep moving I shouldn't burn too much paint off the road.

The fact that they've ignored it for over a month has already given me my answer.

Well a Government representative of the NHTSA visited yesterday and viewed at least one bad set.

It's too bad we resort to such drastic measures.It's NOT personal.I just want my pathetic poor quality headlights fixed.
What's it going to be on the 1125r? Don't 'ya wonder?
