I'm looking at buying this bike. It has aftermarket PI AA headlights. Are they any good? I prefer the look of the stock headlights. How hard is it to go back to that?
If the owner didn't chop the wiring to convert then it's no big deal. By any chance does he still have the stock parts ? They can be expensive. The PIAA are supposed to be good. I have something similar and I don't know if I like the look.
Ugly headlights is what kind they are. Almost look like fog lights or aux lights. I'd either see if they have the originals or deduct the cost from the bike.
I totally agree. One of the first things I'm going to do is going to be to change them out back to stock. I'm getting a slamming deal though. It has the sergeant seat, Jardine exhaust, the expensive rear sets, bar end mirrors, those expensive levers everyone has, and a bunch of other stuff. Getting everything for $3800. It's a great deal.
Hmm wasn't sure the look exactly like the ones on my 05 Speedy...there were other options on eBay with the search quoted below. Hope you find something. ?
Great. I ordered it. Once it comes in, I'll have to figure out how to wire it in. The previous owner spliced up the wiring I believe. I don't see any harnesses unless they are under the gas tank.
There would normally be an intermediate 4-way connector to each lamp off the main harness - it depends whether the PO wired them up after the connector (ie the main harness connector is still in place) or if he cut the connectors off the main harness?
See what you have there - the connectors on the older lamps are same as the new ones, so if connectors still there, you can plug them in; if he cut them off the main harness I can direct you to replacements if you want to restore those.
My headlights should be coming in the mail tomorrow. I've taken off of the old ones, and the PO definitely cut off the wires. I see the following colors. Hope they match up to the new lights...
There are five wires running to each headlight. Yellow, blue/white, two blacks, and blue/maroon.
Yeah that previous owner was on something to put those ugly lamps on it. The bike looks amazing now! I too want to put the round lights on my 13 but mine would just be replacing the stocks with the rounds, not something like what you had lol. Great work bringing her back to life!
