STETLER's R1 Rhino by 151 Fabrication

[STETLER]

Ok, So after the last Glamis night ride I came to realize that the HID lights I was running weren't cutting it. I was running 8000K temp bulbs at 35W but only 2 of them would work. So I tossed those in the trash and went with new 55W Ballast and Bulbs in a 6000K Light temp. I also went with the new Slim ballast to cut down some weight and make a little more room between the light housings. Here's some pics of the old and new set up.

Old:

NEW:

I temp strapped everything on with tie-wraps and wired them up, Then plugged it in to make sure everything works.

Then I drilled out the holes to mount the Ballast and installed some SS Socket heads bolts and Nylon nuts for a more secure and better looking mount.

Also installed a New battery & Battery Cut off switch so my GPS doesn't run down my battery.

Not sure if I'll need it yet but very interisted in your alt. set up.
Is it universal for a motorcycle engine or is it made for certain year R1's

Got any pics?
