If you have money to go buy a bike then be smart and buy the gear. Whether its 50 degrees or a 100 degress its ATGATT for me.... But that is just my opinion.

          I like the way it looks. Any ideas as to why it melted? You'd figure they would have tested that sort of thing..

                  Well looking at it did it come with the light already or did you put a different bulb in because what im getting at is my buddy bought one close to that and same thing it melted and we took it apart and seen it was a 100w bulb he replaced it with a 55w bulb and still uses it and no issues since

                      Hate to say it, but that's what you get for buying cheap chinese crap on ebay
                      90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.
