I've ridden my 644ds a few times in the dark and the headlight only seems to light up the mudguard, I've looked down streetfighter routes but nothing floats my boat asthetically or financially as I'm tight, show me your custom ideas so I can rob them please

On the Riders forum there was a chap who used a Buell dual headlight option - failing that I am considering a 7" Lucas chrome number......

My brother ryan90 was the guy who fitted the Buell headlight, it worked well but he sold it and went for a more enduro style headlight in the end as he never really rode in the dark :rolleyes: This is it.

I had a UFO ray halogen fitted, looks like a proper enduro headlight the same as the standard DS unit, but uses a high power H4 bulb in a proper glass lense which really does light up the road. It's the top right headlight. The other two were piss poor and I wouldn't recommend.

i wonder who did the ray halogen first :angel: lol. i got one and fitted a 55/100w bulb. its a good light but they crack if hit by stones from other vehicles like mine did. i plan to make a plastic cover or a metal grill for it .

you can get halogen ba20d (standard bulb in the ccm 644 ufo headlight) there is a 35/35w or you can get a 55/55w one but be wary of the 55/55w as the one i bought melted the bulb :o

the 35/35w halogen is way better than the standard one

I ended up swapping the buell light as it just didnt look sporty enough and i wasnt riding in the dark as much as i thought i was.. I went for this after:

Still has a h4 bulb so way better than standard, wasnt as good as the buell setup but wasnt bad by any means.
