    Used a factory KTM headlight and it fits and works perfect. Used the light socket that came with the KTM part with slight mod and didn’t have to cut anything on the DRZ wire loom. Didn’t use the rubber band and fabricated a metal bracket to fit the bolt in the lower triple clamp. Rock solid but not cheap. That’s the price of doing it right

    I'm so glad that you ended up doing that light and showing me how shity it is. I've seen it on other drz and was like yeah that looks kinda of cool. The rubber assembly was a joke and so glad I didn't waste my time or money on a stupid upgrade like that. So thanks again for doing that video even though it turned out horrible it was good knowledge of that aftermarket part!!! Thanks again and keep them coming. Definitely getting the exhaust that you did a video on. Shocked that you didn't use the zeta pro hand guards with the integrated turn signals with a triple tree mount, but I guess you're street legal the route that you went! Thanks 👍

      Thanks man! I appreciate it! I’ve got about 5 more videos filmed and ready to release for you guys! I will be swapping to the triple tree mount to clean up the bars. And I’m glad I used the pod style signals. They offer better visibility for me.
      And yea, fuck that light! Ha

    Do you think if you went with the slightly more expensive LED version there would hav e been a difference? I'm looking at one from JFG Racing. Seems to have decent reviews.

    It’s literally the worst ever!! Bought a used bike w this and I can’t see shit. But I like the looks. Just saw the bulb can’t even be swapped is there any other options like an LED replacement for that housing. It sucks because I don’t even have my stock DRZ housing. Thanks! Subscribed a while ago.

    • @linksgarage1985
      @linksgarage1985  Год назад +1

      I did swap the bulb in this video to a very good LED bulb. But still couldn’t see shit. It has to do with the shape of the light itself I think.
      I swapped to the JNS engineering morimoto light. It’s the best damn light ever.

      @@linksgarage1985 thanks for the swift reply. Love the channel. Do you have a video on that JNS headlight? May do that because I don’t like the looks of the stock headlight bucket very much and I don’t have it. So yeah I get it the amazon flaw is the design of the beam projector itself not (just ) the bulb. Heard!!

    Factory headlight looks and functions way better than any of the Amazon/China junk! When it comes to any upgrades you've got to go with a reputable company and quality parts. Trying to go cheap will do nothing but waste your money and get you shitty results. Spend the money on quality and do it right the 1st time.

      Not sure yet. For the riding i do, it’s actually not bad. I can do wheelies, cruise at 70mph and still hit 101mph. All around, I think I may keep it.
