I need a small powerful headlight for my special. What I'm going for is basically a race bike, gotta have a light obviously but I don't want to look at it. I picked up a new headlamp and it screams "cafe racer", totally wrong look.

1. Headlight is PIAA Diachronic 55w beam

Found the kh info. Its a yamaha RD wanna be TD and the chrome headlight was horrific. With an MZB I can power Yankee stadium, gives a guy options! :D

Thanks!

Jared... the PIAA light on the KH750 is pretty sweet, and ultra bright for how small it is.

I had to buy it in a pack of "2", because obviously they are made to be mounted to the front bumper of a car. In '05, when I bought them, if I remember correctly it was over $200.00 for the "kit"..so not cheap.
Maybe the prices have come down?, or another option is available.

Heres a vid RB took at the gap in '06. The last couple of seconds really show how bright that little sucker is...

Yep, thats the EXACT kit that I bought. :thumbup:

That $80 odd bucks doesn't include everything you'll need.
That is just for the lamp itself and is sold as a "replacement" if you smash into a racoon or something.

You'll need a relay, harness, switch, ect..
