09Aircooled ~

I have a 2001 M900 and I used the bracket that came with the bike. It's a small carbon fiber bracket that's able to hold the aftermarket bugeye lights as well as the stock headlight. I believe the CF mount I have is, dimensionally, pretty much the same as the stock one. The headlight diameter measures just about 8 inches  [200mm], measures about 5 inches [130mm] deep and has 2 hex head bolts on the left and right sides to secure it. The only stipulation is that the bucket needs to have 1 or 2 holes to help with cool, fresh air circulation inside the headlight. The Fluxbeam has a micro fan that helps to keep the LED bulb cool by moving fresh air around. The bucket on the new replacement headlight came to me with an extra hole so I didn't need to drill anything.

Hope this helps.

Looks cool, but not $370 worth of cool. I mean I spent under $100 for HID’s before on my FZ including wiring and ballasts...am I missing something? Only thing I got was some industrial strength Velcro to mount that ballasts to the fairing.

 I like this option because of the plug and play factor. I highly dislike the cutting, drilling holes trying to fit automotive sized lighting into a small moto light body.

You got a point there...might just to bite the bullet and get one. Just not at the moment.
