Installed the h7 Cyclops on low beam side today. Easy peasy on this bike. CAN YOU SEE ME NOW BRIGHT!!! Know i can find cheaper replacements but have used Cyclops lights on 4 bikes with nary an issue. Great customer service. Next will be Weisers in the turn signals then, some more brake light visibility. What says the collective? Not overly concerned about cost, just results. |

Less then a week and the mods have begun. Installed the Vstream touring screen. I know, barn door sorta. Doesn't look bad at all to me. I like QUIET!. The stock wasn't cuttin it. Mounted my Givi tanklock bag. Installed the Powerbronze rear hugger. Like it all. Gotta go ride now to see if my choices make sense.

Zitat von Rocklinmike im Beitrag #1 I’ve got them on both low and high beam sides. Wonderful improvement to amount of light, both to see and be seen. What did you wind up doing for the bulb housing cover? This gives a good idea of the light output difference between low and high beam: R1200RS_P1020099_100_101.gif - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) 2017 R1200RS Lupin Blue/Grey Metallic |

You are correct. MUCH better light output. |

I like the idea of doing this - RS is a bit on the dim side as stock. A couple of questions: |

Zitat von beatlunch im Beitrag #5 The throw is typically a function of the lens housing and not the bulb. While this bulb is brighter, there is more light put out on the road. Zitat von beatlunch im Beitrag #5 Cyclops Adventure Sports recommended this model for the R1200RS: https://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/4...-Bulb_p_86.html

Zitat von Spozo im Beitrag #7 70mm rubber housing works well. I just did a simple x-cut through the rear of the rubber covers and have had no problems with now more than 5000 miles on the bike with them. Not very elegant but they do a great job of keeping dust and moisture out. I just searched on eBay for a set per recommendations from other forum members.

I’ve experimented with this setup for approx 7K to 10k miles using a similar 70mm dust cover with a hole drilled in the center of the oem dust cover and sadly dust still enters. To the naked eye it appears to be good but I tested it by inserting a white paper towel inside cover and after a 1000miles it was covered in dirt. There was also dust inside the cover itself. ThisI went back to oem bulbs and dust covers. One guy from the original RS forum had the best setup. He made a V slit from the side and siliconed the wires and hole using the oem dust covers. My only problem with this setup is if a bulb blows while touring or on a long ride you’ll have to break the seal and lose the protection. I log serious miles so I need a more reliable setup. |

Zitat von GT im Beitrag #10 The touring version is pretty large at 22" H x 19" W Link: Z2375 VStream Touring The sport/tour version is what I have on the bike now. Almost the same wind protection but now don't have the top of the screen come into my FOV in the raised position. And the light tint is not all that noticeable (I don't care for heavily tinted windscreens). 19" H x 18.5" W Link: Z2374 VStream Sport-Touring
