[QUOTE="dan filipi, post: 70189, member: 54"] The fun continues.......... I tried a smaller hole, bulb still hits.. [img]https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=1825&image_id=18482[/img] So time to make it bigger....... Pilot holes around the diameter of a 2" PVC plumbing cap... [img]https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=1825&image_id=18483[/img] This drill rasp is what I used to file it down so the 2" cap will fit thru...... [img]https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=1825&image_id=18484[/img] Almost there... [img]https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=1825&image_id=18485[/img] Touch up a bit.... [img]https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=1825&image_id=18486[/img] Headlight bolt in. The bulb clears good.... [img]https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=1825&image_id=18487[/img] I'm gluing the 2" cap in place with black silicone. It's cold here so the silicone is drying slow and of course I'm not going to post any pics of that until I've dressed it up some and the cap is secure. Oh I did pull off the little metal blinder/shield thing from the bulb and it still shins a pretty flat beam. Hard to tell if it's better to have it off or not. Will see when it's dark. This clearance problem has turned out to be a very unexpected hassle but by the looks of the increased brightness and the nice beam I think it will be worth it. I saw other HID bulbs that aren't as long but I think they would still hit the fairing after seeing how close the headlight is to the inside of the fairing there. I 'spect any HID would need the hole made. [/QUOTE]
