2009 Buell 1125CR Custom Headlights
Demon Eyes, Paintwork, Projector Retrofit, Switchback Halos/Strips
Welcome to my first motorcycle headlight retrofit build. A LOT of fabrication work went into fitting dual MH1 projectors into this housing. Red demon eyes, switchback halos, and a gloss black paint job complete this gorgeous setup.
First I built an alignment jig to reference the beam pattern of the bike:
The access holes caused clearance issues so they were brought inwards to the extreme:
Plastic epoxy was utilized to rebuild the bucket:
Acrylic was cut from a cardboard template for the mounting plate:
Clearance testing:
The projectors are rear mounted via nut&bolt:
Output is dialed in. Steps are gapped appropriately:
Bolts are bonded into place and body filler is used to create the desired shape:
Shrouds are trimmed and prepped, and primer is down:
After block sanding, we are ready to paint:
Halos mounted to shrouds. Projectors bolted into housing. Shrouds mounted to projectors:
The whole assembly gets mounted back into the headlight bucket:
Testing the demon eyes and switchback halos:
The headlight is finally sealed and complete:
Output pattern is looking right:
LOTS of equipment fit inside this bike:
