• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Cyclops Led H4 headlight bulb

I've never been pulled over and I have done quite a bit of traveling. If you do get pulled over it's just a fix it ticket. Usually a small fee and have the citation signed off. Any Law Officer can sign off on a fix it ticket. Even out of state officers can sign off a ticket. It's really just a pain in the butt.
 
I really like these Cyclops LED headlight bulbs, I've ridden with these for 4 months now and they certainly are a upgrade compared to the OEM halogen bulb. I do really struggle with the aim of the headlight because I ride a lot in the dark on congested roads and I've noticed that I blind many other motorists. How do you guys adjust the aim because that adjusting bolt underneath the instrument cluster works terrible.

you have slotted holes in the bottom mounts which allows up/down & left/right alignment.....

I know, but thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the slotted holes in the bottom do not have enough room to adjust the beam further downwards... I have already tried that.
 
Hi folks, just wanted to confirm that I don't need the current rectifier?? I had no idea that some bikes are AC... Are the Aussie inmates just ordering direct from Cyclops?

Thanks

With the shape of the reflector & the lense I think it would be quite difficult to accurately aim the light, the adjusting screw on the top has some adjustment, also push the pivot bolts as far back as possible - or drop the forks one or two notches thru' the triple clamps
 
Does anyone have a link to the Chinese version they purchased from ebay or any other source? I'll pay the $59 from cyclops if needed but obviously I'd be happy to pay less.

Search for "H4 led moto cree 4000lm" in Aliexpress and you'll find the same current model

The products are exactly the same, as they are made in the same place. What you're purchasing with the extra $'s is brand name and better customer care.

Okay
 
My bulb had burned out and I need a new one within 9 days so I ordered the cyclops from Rocky Mountain ATV to make sure it arrives in time. I may order a backup from Aliexpress to have a spare and compare them side by side.
 
Here is pictures before and after with same settings on the camera.

After this pictures was taken raised the beam a little bit up so better coverage on low beam but it should give some impressions of result to expect.

Lamp installed is H4 HB2 9003 Led CREE 40W from CNSUNNYLIGHT on AliExpress.

Happy with improvement :)
 
In my experience led lights in the headlight assembly end up being either too 'leaky' (bothering the people coming the opposite way) or not enough homogeneous. So I've decided to try a somewhat more drastic approach:

IMG_20180625_1131141.jpgIMG_20180625_1131041.jpg

It's a bulb with projector lens incorporated. The low beam is managed by the lens, with the high beam is still using the headlight reflective mirror. Installation was a breeze, actually simpler than usual, as the heat sinker in screw-able. The end result seems vastly better than the previous LED I was using, more homogeneous and certainly more adherent to the road regulations.

Later tonight I will try to post some street photos. It can be found as "mini Projector lens H4 LED" in Aliexpress (The one I'm using is the newest model, with better heat sink design).
 
Took some pictures tonight. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the previous bulb, but believe me when I say that the improvement was dramatic.

Low Beam:

Where did you get this thing?
 
Keep in mind that the lens is directional, so make sure that you've the right one. I purchased just one bulb from the following:

https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesal...738&SearchText=Sukioto+projector+lens+bulb+H4

AFAIK they have only left hand drive units, so no Commonwealth or Japan. I couldn't find other vendors selling them in single units. Considering the speed of the shipment, and the excellent communication with the seller, I can easily recommend them.

BTW, installation was a breeze:
