  • How To - Helmet Headlight Mod (streetfighter or stunter)

    start off with this isn't on a katana but the principles go with any bike....
    mostly i kinda just wanna show off my work ( if you dont like it and its not your taste's feel free to say whatever you feel... i dont really care cause i like it)

    This is the bike before the mod....





    Started off with one of my old helmets i had laying around.... ripped out all the guts.... (helmets aren't easy to tear apart.... its like they want em to protect something....)







    then i skipped pics of the boring part....
    -hold it to the bike....
    -mark the spots it hits...
    -cut some more off....
    -REPEAT ABOUT 50 TIMES.....

    Get to something such as this..... (mounting the gauges was annoying but thats about the best i could come up with)







    then had to deal with mounting some lights.....
    -piece of flat steel across with two bolts holding each side.... then a bolt holding each light to the flat steel....







    give an awesome glow at night from the rings...



    bright as hell at night....



    Costs:
    Helmet - Prolly could have sold it for maybe 50 bucks
    Fog Lights - 35 bucks from pepboys....
    Hardware - what i had laying around the garage so free....

    NOTES:
    this is my stunt bike.... so i didn't remove plastics to do this....
    had an extra helmet.... would not tear up a new nice helmet for this....
    did use some welding.... can easily be done without welding though....

          that's pretty wild. idk if i'd want that as my main bike, but as a second bike for fun, that'd be awesome. definitely turn some heads with that one

            Very cool!!
            Do a profile shot. I'd like to see what it looks like from the side with the rest of the lines of the bike.

                its kinda small compared to the bike.... doens't look perfect but i suppose the little mini-lights stunters put on are tiny too....

                    I dig that. Have you thought about installing turn indicators in the matching holes in the frame on either side of the handle bars? Just a thought.

                              Ah gotcha, and no mine doesn't have them as the ram air is feed centrally through the steering head straight to my airbox. Your 6 is an older carburated model right (can tell by the gauges)? That would account for the difference.
