Rewire and elimination

Hey guys, Thinkin' about gettin' rid of the bigass headlight and going with something more streamlined. Also wanting to go to bullet style turn signals to bring things in tighter to center. I'll also be ordering the mini tach and speedo from MikesXS. That being said the giant cluster f... of wires in the headlight has got to go. I'm going to make some custom sidecovers and I'm going to eliminate a lot of the connectors and hardwire whats left and I want to eliminate all unnecessary (sp?) components in the lighting and starting system. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I got a set of these from my supplier. Not ready to install them yet. I want to do some work on my bike but I only have one bike and I ride every day so I can't have it down for days on end. For now I'm collecting parts and when I have a second bike to ride I will the custom work on my first bike.

Interesting. How do they mount, and how much $? Also are the bulbs replaceable?

About 140 bucks on the lights and 30 bucks for the brackets. The bulbs do replace and are the new kinda of blues light output you may have seen around. I'm wanted the new type of high output lights for riding the mountain roads at night.

I've ordered parts both from Mike's XS as well as 650Central. I've gotten excellent service response from both. Everytime I call 650Central I ending talking with Dwayne for a 1/2 hour or so. He's a geat guy to deal with, Very knowlegeable about the XS.
