Quick update.

Jim up in Maine has managed to fit a set with NO modification to the SPEAKER units - Just moving the brackets outside and "notching" a ring.

(this "ring" bit still has me a little flummoxed - The English and Americans really are two peoples separated by the same language at times) .

I'll ask his permission to post images. He did get the brackets re-chromed.
He's also working on protective lens covers.

I'm still looking at a solution that avoids moving the brackets - though it seems this really is the simplest way. And I may end up following suit.

Made a rather disturbing discovery though. One of the headlight relays was sticking - keeping both filaments on - and as a result the connectors inside the shells were heat damaged.

Relays replaced with big 40amp monsters. and the wiring attended to So it all took a bit longer than hoped.

A note for anybody looking at these.

They are VERY sensitive to adjustment. A couple of degrees out on that front clamp and you can lose a lot of the benefit.

They seem to aim lower than "normal" light units.

They seem to be a bargain if they're not too much of a faff to fit to the R3R (2011)

I have the simplest solution of all... I virtually never ride at night!

#1 reason for that is that we have about the most dense population, per square mile, of whitetail deer anywhere in the Americas centered right around where I live. It really makes night riding something akin to playing Russian Roulette!

Reasonable under the circumstances but when you have to brighter lights would be better than the church candles fitted to the r3r

True 'dat, ww! These are about the worst stock headlights I've (barely) seen.
