89' KAT Dual headlight project

[Long Way 38]

I apologise for those of you who already saw my bike in Mechanics 101 (when I asked a wiring question), I feel that it should be here in Pics & Flicks. This is my single to dual headlight conversion. I began at the begining of the day without having a clue of how I was going to do it & this is how it turned out by the end of the day. It may not be for everyone but , It works for me!

Here is how I did it. www.picturetrail.com/longway

There is a link to pics on the first page. I did my best to do a step by step but if anyone has any questions, please ask away...

Looking through the pictures, that setup is pretty sweet. Once you get some sort of trim ring on there it'll look great. I think you pioneered a process that many will follow. I know if I still had my kat I'd be going through it right now.

Speaking of which, there's a few old yamaha fz600 headlight assemblies on ebay right now.

I just looked under parts & accesories, then lighting I think?? I would have bought anything that looked like it would work. There were quite a few bikes of that vintage that used similar headlights. ..Cheers..

It was just a fun thing to try on a bike that owes me nothing. Actually, I thought I'd have at least a few who wouldn't like it but the response has been quite positive. Cheers..
