So as I am working through a custom build on my old kz550, my last immediate mod is the headlight/turn signal upgrade. The tail light and rear signals are led already so I want to get an LED set up for the front as well.

This will be on light off road duty frequently so having signals that stick out much are not a good idea. I have seen some of the LED combo headlights on ebay/amazon. Just curious if anyone has experience with these.

Also, having a 7" glass headlight presently, I assume that I would just remove that and install the new LED assembly.

I have installed several H4 Cyclops LED bulbs in various bikes and love those. However, if I can delete protruding turn signals in the front (like I did in the back) altogether, that would be ideal.

I just did a LED head light conversion. Got a highsider 3 LED assembly for 120 Euro last year. It was a 15 minutes plug and play job . Fits in the 7" Z1 head light reflector frame with no problems. Change my new reflector with the LED bulb and switch to the highsider 3 LED assembly.

Jetzt bin ich aber überrascht! Du hast mich gerade mit deinen Deutsch Kenntnissen beeindruckt. Wo im deutsch sprachigen Raum bist du beheimatet.

Vielen Dank! Vielleicht noch eine Überraschung: ich wohnte mein ganzen Leben in Vereinigten Staaten. :)

Ich hab' Deutschland einmal besuchen (aber vor viele Jahren). Manchmal hab' ich ein Konversation mit einem Deutscher (zum Beispiel im Flughafen), leider sehr wenig, so jetzt hat mein Grammatik Rost. :laugh:

Dafür das du in den in Vereinigten Staaten lebst sprichst, bzw. schreibst sehr gut Deutsch, Respekt!
Unter den Umständen sprichst und schreibst Du besser als manche "Neu-Deutsche" Zuwanderer und Einheimische Jugendliche.
Mit meinem erlernten Schul English ist es genau so, ohne Übung und Konversation klingt man manchmal sehr eigenartig.

Vielen Dank für das Respekt! Gewöhnlich werde ich ein Paar Fehler machen, aber andere Leute kann mich noch verstehen.

Bei Amerikanische Gymnasium hab' ich vier Jahren Deutsch gelernt (studiert?). Hoffentlich werde Einheimische Jugend besser als ich sprechen/schreiben. :unsure:

Du sprichst/schreibst sehr gut Englisch. Aber jetzt dass wir Jugend nicht mehr sind, können wir Übung ohne Prüfung haben! :laugh:
