Finally finished 2 month TBird makeover. Serious clean and polish, remove rear crash bars, new JackBQuick lift brackets added, upswept pipes replaced with straight 27" Emgo slash cut pipes (seperate post in exhaust) will work on sound clip, gutted airbox, K & N filter fitted, PCV auto tune added to custom exhaust cross over made 1/2' larger for straight pipes. Pipes had to be modified using mounts and angled intake from stock pipes. This was necessary because I used my heat shields. New model heatshields may not have required some of the mod. In addition added new Octane headlight lens with led H4, a couple of small led 20 watt auxilary lights on front crash bar and a curved license plate led lit frame on rear fender. The auxilary 20 watt led were brighter than stock headlight. That alone would improve your lighting. Also was able to drop the saddle bags 2" and move back 2". This is end result and after first long ride I have a noticable increase in power over stock with baffles cut not to mention very sweet rumble exhaust tone. You can damn well see me coming with huge increase in road lighting.
Oh yes and the Octane light has a led ring around it I wired to the running lights. They come in differnt colors and one can actually use them as turn signals with the Superwhite bulb it comes with. With Led in there I don't think you'd see them.
There was some modification required. For this Octane light you will need to trim down the headlight ring about 1/8 inch all around.
Picture below is HD with 7 " daymaker Evo 2 (Thank you Kerry for the help) next to the Tbird with my leds. Both are just on sidestand. Daymaker an obvious wide light band but very pleased for less than $120.00 with my results. I have a bunch of comparison pics but will take me a while to organize and resize the different things I tried. Have researched off and on and came to this as being an inexpensive solution to improved lighting over a near $500 daymaker.
Next is us holding bikes up
Front view. Yes you can see me coming.
Here's a few to compare without the 20 watt aux Leds on
