2nd pics, black plastics & headlight

[badpig121]

This is the DHH headlight from ACERBIS. Man is that thing bright. I took the white numberplate sticker off with a heatgun because it just clashed with the overall look of the bike. It was a pretty easy install. The wiring is a pain because it doesn't allow you to maintain a high and a low beam with both lights. You could run the high beam to one light and low to the other, but only one beam would work at a time, and the beams are shaped differently . Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the look. Now I need a silver front rim and my FMF pipe and silencer. That will help to complete the look. The only thing eating me away is wether I should get a black tank or leave it red. Any thoughts?

I'd put some red fork boots on it if you keep the tank.

At this point, I don't know if I'm going to put fork boots on at all. I do mostly sand riding with the occasional trip to gorman, and my old fork boots were only good for keeping dirt in, not out.

Yeah I hear ya. New Daystar boots look nice though. Their red ones are just as nice looking as these blue ones imo. I think it would look nice on your trike.

Somebody used to make large fork "wipers" back in the day. Available in different colors. I wonder if those are still out there.

You need to get a different seat cover for that baby. I would get something like mine has, a black/red scheme. I think that would accent your black fenders much more and not have so much red in the middle.

Looks good to me!! I like the lights..If you dont mind me asking...What was the cost and is there a Web site??

Hey Scott.....That looks like your drying one of your thongs on your seat

I would definately make the change to the black tank. It will make the other plastic look stock and not "add on". I think it will bring your 20 year old trike up to modern day looks with that light and all black plastic. Add some nice graphics and matching seat cover. All it needs now is inverted forks and you have a 2005 ATC 250R!

I was doing almost the opposite R R.Fender,BL seat,Red tank,BL scoops, BL front fender, R light,R boots. I think im going all black. i've seen it before looks good. Your not far from that.

I think before you do anything else you should get some of that super high heat black automotive enamel and spray that pipe. Looks good so far!

I like the black look also, wish I still had my old black R.

mywifeknowseverything, I bought the light through my local dealership for about $50.00, but you should be able to find it on any parts web site. Any ACERBIS distributer can order it.

I'm pretty sure at this point that I will order the black tank. It just looks too freakin cool not to. I won't worry about the pipe since my new one will be here in about a week. Does FMF make a pipe in a "factory" finish?

The Light looks great!!!!!!!!! Whichever you decide, post picts. I Love the Black LooK. I will post picts of mine after I finish it. Now the Black is on, there is not enough silver, lol....I am definatly stuck on the red tank.
