@@larryreyes1064 Thank you very much Larry :)
@@FarmerFpv thanks a lot brother
Went on Amazon bought a 20$ headlamp, it arrived and I took out everything inside the lamp and went to Walmart, I got an led flashlight and took it apart then I got ductape and taped it to the headlamp. I got the akiline battery and placed it next to the circuit board and taped it, I got a USB cable and connected it then I put the headlamp together and it worked, No soldering No over complicated technics just some simple tips, make sure to get a flat facing flashlight!
Yeap.. that is the idea.. cheers
@@BK42Cycles Thanks for the ideas I'll be sure to subscribe because I make custom bikes to.
Hey man awesome, I just built an 8000-lumen rechargeable vintage headlight out of a Demon Cycle light bucket. Funny i just finished yesterday. Great Job man, always impressive work buddy!
Very cool brother, I'de love to see that! How's the project going?
Thanks for stopping by :)
@@BK42Cycles It's coming along, I stripped all the powder coating off because I didn't like the color. I am going to either go Tuxedo Black & White or Grafite Grey & Red. I bought a new fork with thicker fork tubes from ruff cycles, I believe the same fork as yours. I bought a new front hub 100mm and a narrower wheel. 28"x65mm 24"x100mm for rear and white wall tires. I was going to ask. Do you think you can make another set of springer fork parts and sell them to me? I tried to design some but I'm just not as good at it. I'm better at working with raw metal and welding not cad lol
oh boy.. I loved that color, but black & white will be great as well.
Man I can't build another set like that. I don't have a workshop, neither the tools. I would love to do that but I can't. Take a look at the work of this guy, he is in the USA as well:
instagram.com/flyingmachinebikeparts
He is the master!!
@@BK42Cycles No worries just thought id ask, yes I live black and white I think it looks classy. I'll definitely check out that guy. Thanks, man I knew you'd find something for me, you're the best. I'll let you know when I finish my bike. I also bought the Smyinz v4.0 to convert to electric. going to use a more subtle approach with a smaller battery should be nice.
Smyinz v4.0!!! Wow, that's new to me!! Cool Another build coming down!!
Excellent video Myr. Such a simple yet genius idea. I never would have thought of using a rechargeable headlamp for the guts inside the motorcycle light. I'll be stealing this idea for a couple of mini bikes
Thank you very much Bruce, with your skills and tools you can make it easily!!
I would love to see your build!
Have a good weekend
Excellent job my friend. This one is special cause we see you in front of the camera talking to us and then you did a very handy job!!! That light looks super cool!!! I don't know if the police here would say something but definitely cool! Great job as always
Thank you very much Ruben. It's basically a normal bike LED, I've been riding my bike for many years without any problem with them :)
On my eyes you are the real geezer, try do that for long time massive on your skills
Thanks Vitor
I would add foam inside to prevent rattles if needed. 👍🏻 Great job
Thanks brother :)
Отличная идея! Я сейчас как раз этим занимаюсь.
Рада что тебе понравилось. Поделитесь своей сборкой позже!
Спасибо и добро пожаловать на канал
This is so awesome!
Thanks Titus, are you going to make one of these? Cheers
@@BK42Cycles Definitely! I'm actually getting started with it already.
Cara, esse "tchau " no final foi o melhor. Heheheheh. Tô zuando,viu !? O vídeo ficou muito bom e já vou tentar fazer por aqui. Abraço e bons ventos de bike .👍👍👏👏😅😅😅
hahahha sempre rola o Tchau :)
Obrigado pela visita Fabricio,,, cara agora que percebi que nao estou recebendo notificacoes do seu canal :(
Fachowa ręka 👏
Dziękuję bardzo Marcin :)
Good one Myr 👊
Valeu papito!!!
Great 👍
Thanks a lot :)
I need that for my E-Bike!
Hi Charlie, thanks for watching. For e-bikes it can be even much simpler connecting the headlight to the main battery :)
Welcome to the channel
@@BK42Cycles I'd rather not use my bikes battery. The headlamp battery would last longer than my bikes rechargeable light. I like to conserve my bike battery power. But yeah, thank you for welcoming me. Awesome video!!
that is indeed a good point! The conversion is quite simple as shown in the video. If you will try to do it and need any help pls let me know, I will be happy helping you.. cheers
Well job sir
Thanks sir :) I'm glad you like it. Cheers
Cool
Thanks :) I'm glad you like it. Welcome to the channel :)
ficou porreiro. é uma boa alternativa para quem quiser usar farol de mota
Sim, bem facil de montar :) Obrigado pela visita
Awesome work! i'd like to make the 12v version u mentioned. can u recommend a 12v battery that might fit into light shell?
Hi Joel, I was talking about these batteries:
www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002287236548.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.76464d92R3VSmk&algo_pvid=264085ee-197f-4e69-af58-1b8a6086de46&algo_exp_id=264085ee-197f-4e69-af58-1b8a6086de46-36&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000019920020481%22%7D
But, as each shell is different, try to measure the inside shell are first ;)
Cheers
Very cool. Could you demonstrate the same with an Angel Eye Headlight Conversion for EBike? Angel Eye Running Light during the day, both Angel Eye and Main Light for dawn, dusk, and dark?
Thanks Muirén :) I will keep it in mind!
Welcome to my channel.
Have a good weekend
Excellent work, my friend :) But those batteries are garbage, buy new one if you want to use it on a bike. Remember, use only high quality batteries (bigger capacity and much better safety)
Thanks for the tip Bartosz! Good advice
Replace the aliexpress led light for a real Kaidomain XHP 70 second generations led = 4000 lumen. Don't forget to Install a laptop fan inside the motorlight housing for cooling. As 4000 lumens generates a lots of heat. Adding a good heatsink on the High power LED is a must. This will be a superb modification of your light. Use external battery packs.
Excellent idea. Actually the possibilities are endless.
Do you build bikes as well? Thanks for watching :)
@@BK42Cycles aah no i dont build bikes, i modifiy my own bike with some parts etc. Last week i put a 100 mm rim into a Nirve Cannibal Raw. Technicaly its not possible. But with Cromo tubes you can press bend them professional to add space between the frame , tire and chain.
@@clydebroom that is cool! Share some pics and videos with us :)
would love to see a close up of the wire connection
Hi Hector, unfortunately the headlight is gone :( tks for watching
This is brilliant. For those who don't have the patience to make this. Can you make them to order? I've been looking all over the Internet for large lens led bicycle headlamp, you could make a good profit on this. I would love to buy a finished product from you.
Thanks buddy. Kind words..
I'm not make them to sell, but I know two guys making awesome custom lights.

They might have the perfect light for you!
Thanks, cheers
@@BK42Cycles just saw the link. I tried to find his shop on Google, but no luck. Sadly, I'm not on Instagram, but the lights are great. Perfect for my bike builds.
I don't think they have online shops.. if you use Facebook:

I would like to buy one you've already made. Can we can make that happen sir? Been looking for one just like that. Bicycle head lights are smaller. I have a custom built bike
Hi Larry, thanks for commenting.
Man, I have no time to build them, but check these two guys on Instagram. They are making the best lights out there!

Идея прекрасная. НО! Все встречные, ВСЕ будут в полном восторге и попытаются выразить его, отсыпав владельцу по самое не балуй! Прости, но рефлектор мотофары не под пучок светодиода. И пучок света налобного китайского чуда, ну уж точно не под фару в транспорте. Вело, мото, авто, без разницы. Лично я, нахватался в свое время зайчиков от led фонарей. От своих же. И с тех пор, очень щепетильно отношусь к настройке света на байке. И шкуру свою берегу от доброжелателей и поклонников, и встречных водителей и пешеходов не считаю за нелюдей. Представь, что будет, когда ты таким чудом ослепишь встречного водителя? А скорость у него... От 60 км/ч. И луч у китайского фонаря, с гарантией его секунд на 5 ослепит. А это - 17 м/с×5 с=85 метров! Ну его, такие шутки! Может стоит сразу прицеливаться на фары со свето-теневой границей? Ну, или хотя бы не на базе этих чудо-выкидышей с 5-7-10 ватными диодами? Но идея - великолепна! Возьму на вооружение и реализую с нормальными линзами!)
Спасибо, что поделились своим мнением.
Ваше здоровье
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Muito obrigado :)
@@BK42Cycles tranquillo ottimo lavoro
hahaha mi dispiace, ho inviato il messaggio in portoghese ... una lunga giornata !! Grazie mille caro!
@@BK42Cycles 😂😂😂😂 don't worry!!
I need one for my lectric lite
for e-bikes it is much easier to do. I will publish a detailed video soon about it :) keep tuned .. cheers
If I sent u my light, would you retro fit it for me? I have a 1953 simplex servicycle
Hi Justin, man I've made that for fun... I can do that, but honestly shipping it to Poland and then back to the USA will get quite expensive :( I'm not sure it is worth ?!?!
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel
😘😘😘😘💯💯
Obrigado pela visita :)
@@BK42Cycles Ahhh, Portuguese. Brazilian I assume!😀👍👍👍👍
Exactly :) Where a re you from if I may ask?
@@BK42Cycles I am born in Texas, raised in Arizona. I'm Black, Hispanic (Mexican decent), Apache Indian and White (Irish, French and Spanish)😀. I'm a mut.
What a great mix!!! I am honoured to have the first Apache Indian in the channel!!
Man just get a battery and a 15w-30w led headlight for a scooter or motorcycle and a switch
Thanks buddy
Can you make one for me, i will buy it for you for my 2 bikes.
hi there.. Unfortunately, I am not making them to sell, but I know some guys producing such a lights in Poland.

Can you sell me one by any chance?
