head lights

Wizzy214, I use the Moose lighting coil, the threaded mounting holes are already are on my stator plate, however I did have to mill off about 4mm, otherwise the flywheel will hit the coil. I used the Moose voltage stabilizer and the Acerbis number plate that has two halogen bulbs behind a cool looking lense. This setup is great to warn oncoming traffic and for getting back to camp when riding late in the evening. however if I were going to frequently night ride or night ride fast, I would have to spend the big bucks on the oversize alternator, HID lamps and HID helmet lamp.
Let us know what you decide to use and how well it works. John
Wizzy214:
do you have a picture?
Johnniespeed:
Sorry Wizzy214 no pics, spent the digital camera money on a new pipe. John

On powerjet equipped KX 250s, its possible to run lights off of the powerjet coil. Steahly (the flywheel weight people) makes a kit that consists of a light switch, wiring and a UFO Twins or Acerbis DHH dual beam headlight for about $100 or so. You can only use one beam and the bulb has to be no larger than a 20W MR 16 bulb, which you can get at any Home Depot or like store. I made my own "kit" for my 04 KX 250 as well as my friends 03. Its not bright enough for night riding, but it can get you out of the woods in a pinch. I use a Acerbis LED taillight because of the low draw needed to power the light. I believe the powerjet coil only puts out around 25 watts.
On my girlfriends 03 KX 250, I installed a E-Line lighting coil which has dual 100 watt leeds. This is definetly the way to go if you are planning on doing some night riding. Its pretty expensive at around $350 for the coil! :-o

Flyin' H~ Is your kit similar to the described steely kit? I only want/need the very minimum to street tag the bike. Reason: trail connect only. No major street rides. Thx!Look forward to any solutions!
