  • More modern look

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Remove the Factory Headlight

  • Disconnect the headlight from the motorcycle's electrical system.
  • Remove the headlight housing from the motorcycle.
  • On some motorcycles, you may need to remove the handlebars and top triple clamp bracket to access the factory headlight mounts.
  1. Reroute Cables (if necessary)

  • If your motorcycle has a large headlight housing, you may need to reroute some cables to make room for the new LED headlight.
  • You can disconnect the cables from the headlight bucket and reroute them underneath the tank.

Install the Headlight Mounting Kit

  • Our headlight mounting kit comes with four handlebar clamps that bolt directly onto your forks.
  • The clamps are depth adjustable, so you can position your headlight at the perfect height.
  • Use the included rubber strips to protect your fork crown from scratches.

Mount the LED Headlight

  • Once the headlight mounting kit is installed, you can mount the new LED headlight.
  • The headlight is depth adjustable, so you can fine-tune the position after it's mounted.

Connect the Wiring

  • The headlight mounting kit should come with instructions on how to connect the wiring for your specific motorcycle.
  • In general, you will need to connect the high beam, low beam, and ground wires.

Test the Headlight

  • Once everything is wired up, turn on the motorcycle and test the headlight.
  • Make sure the high beam and low beam are functioning properly.

Additional Tips

  • If you are having trouble connecting the wiring, consult the included instructions or scan the QR code on the packaging for an in-depth guide.
  • Be careful not to damage the cables when you are rerouting them.
  • Make sure to tighten all of the bolts and screws securely.
