...More on the headlight configuration for the bike...
I wanted to have high and low beams work with the Buell setup, so I retrofitted some H4 bulbs in place of the H7 that come with the XB9 light. I'm not sure if it's going to work or not, because the reflectors in the Buell headlight unit are not really designed for H4 bulbs. I haven't tested the light at night yet, but we'll see. I might end up scrapping this altogether & working up something else. Anyway, here it is now, and I'm trying out different ideas for a front bikini fairing / windshield. I'm considering trimming the factory Yamaha fairing which I think will look the best once finished. But I'm also building a small fairing out of some sheet metal.
