Leute, das ist das beste Video, um den LED Scheinwerfer zusammen zu bauen. Vielen Dank, kein deutscher CZcamsr hat das so detailliert gemacht 🎉
I like seeing something different here and there. I'm never disappointed with one of your videos
Thank you very much :) We really appreciate it :)
Yes! The first of many (hopefully) how to videos. Great job. And awesome suit, Stewart.
We're glad you liked it :)
Kevin seems like a very nice guy. That is a sexy motorcycle he has there as well. Good job on the upgraded lighting !
Thank you :) We had to use a take where he wasn't jumping up and down :) haha
Fun Fact: Chris says "GO Ahead" 14 times in this video! lol
He was going for 15... hahaha Thank you for watching :)
+SIRENNET LOL!
What did you do to clear the RLU error that I know he experienced after the install. The "Reserve Lighting Unit" measures the resistance a normal H4 halogen bulb puts off and knowing that all of these led fixtures don't have near the resistance the RLU gets a false reading that the low beam has burned out and turns the error light on in the dash as well as trying to turn on the high beams. Seems in some countries back in the 1980s required this safety feature on bikes to ensure that the headlight would still be on in the event of a low beam filament failure. Most folks just bypass the RLU or add resistors inline with the new headlight.
*Thanks for this inside look at a retrofit.* Harley-Davidson factory-installs the J. W. Speaker 8700 in 2014-up FLH Touring models (viz., the FLHTCU, FLHTK, FLHX, and FLHR); I anticipate that a Truck-Lite six-diode model with two twist-lock flasher provisions will be used for the fleet-only FLHP and FLHTP (the smaller FLTR, and likely FLTP, headlights, installed in pairs on a frame-mount fairing, are subcontracted to Truck-Lite for 2016-up).
Random question, but is there a backplate or something for the back of the light since that backplate can get hot, isn't that bad for the wiring harness and housing in general?
Old halogen seems to be much brighter on road compared to JW speakers
Was the demonstration low beam or high beam? Why no comparison? Thanks. Just curious.
You make it look easy
The JW speaker 8700 series
LED headlight upgrade will fit in '08 Vulcan 900 classic it has a 7-in headlight?
cool but different that motorcycle is awesome
Where can I order one of these head lights for my 2001 Kawasaki 1500E Classic. Thanks.
Randy
were do i get the hardware for my 1981 csr kawasaki 305.mine is all together
You'll probably need search online for the hardware, unless there's a Motocycle shop close to you that might be able to help with it. We don't have any sources for hardware. Thank you for watching our video though!
With the new led headlamp, do I need to add any kind of resistor or some other electric upgrade add-on?
It has all that built into the headlight.
Should I take it that you stopped offering this product since the link doesn't work, and I can't locate it on your website?
We're making some changes; in the mean time, our Sales Team can lend a hand. They're available at: info@sirennet.com or (888) 959-0911.
I NEED HELP! I just bought a LED Headlamp for my 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan size 5.75 inches and the stock bracket does not fit the LED headlamp. I have been looking for a ring or something that would fit around the LED headlamp and screw into the stock outer ring. Can you suggest something for me please?
Nothing comes to mind regarding a specific adapter ring or mount that we can offer or point you towards. How big is the stock housing on the Vulcan?
are there built in speakers?
I like the idea I only need four of them 😐. Lol
Were any connectors needed for wiring or was it plug and play?
It was just an easy plug and play.
I actually want to put that on my z650. A vulcan headlight on a z/ninja
Do you have a kit for a 2001 ZRX 1200R?
We don't have anything available unfortunately.
I’ve got a zn700 Ltd.. this bike is rad. My headlight at the moment does not work. Trying to figure it out
We'd say start with the fuse and move into opening the headlight for wire inspection if that's not the culprit.
hi sirennet by any chance do you know if this headlight would work with stock 2017 kawasaki vulcan 900 custom? or would I need to buy a bezel kit?
We can't say for certain. If the HL bezel is what actually holds in the 7" round stock headlight, then an add-on bezel shouldn't be necessary.
fully plug and play , any led flasher involved ?
Just plug it in and you're set. :)
I have a 2001 suzuki bandit that seems to have a (female) 6 pin connector. This lamp seems to have three large pins. Is there some sort of adapter I can buy to connect the two? Does anyone know?
Hi Daniel. Unfortunately we haven't been able to locate any 6 to 3 pin conversion harnesses. If you haven't already, we'd recommend taking a look at a Bandit forum to see if anyone has a solution they've found or even perhaps made custom for a conversion.
Wish it was this easy on my 04 GS500
The GS500's are fun bike... but like the GS500F, there tuff when it comes to parts.
do they have this for the 5.75 inch for my v star 650 custom?
Hi James... If this link interests you for your V Star, please let our sales Team know via email at: info@sirennet.com. We'll get you pricing details. www.jwspeaker.com/products/led-motorcycle-headlights-model-8690-m-series/
Hello will this fit my 2017 Vulcan 900 classic LT?
We can't say for certain. Last Vulcan retrofit that we heard about with a 2015 Nomad 1200 resulted in the diameter being to small to fit in the oem housing.
So much drama, just to change a light.
You didn't show how you had to wire it up different.
We grabbed a new H4 connector for inside the housing and just matched the wires up as appropriate for the ground and leads for lo & hi. With just three wires, it's very straight forward if you're doing this change-over.
@@SIRENNET There was no mention of an "H4" connector! Glad I read the comments! I'd be lost
Hey guys I’ve got a 2014 Vulcan Classic. Let’s do an install video and a before/after piece. Let me know if you’re interested
Are you in the Portland area Rob?
I’m on Long Island, NY. Perfect opportunity to dominate the East Coast market. Win Win situation. How about it?
@@robsmotovlog561 We'd really need you to be here for putting the project together :)
hi Rob.. I have 2005 Vulcan vn800 and it's completely different help me in that projec
i have a kawasaki vn800 i could have that same
Australian?
???
If the host is from Australia?
Ahh... Got it :)... Stuart is not Australian.
