BL-402160, 9" and 14,000 lumens.     :eek
A pair of those will do the trick.
If you wanted fried roo.

With that candle power I doubt the alternator would last any longer than Diesels  :grin :grin

But that's the beauty of LEDs- only 11.5 amps each light (and you'd need 2, but it's still less that one OEM headlight bulb)!

Just got to find a big enough bracket for the 9" light.

Definitely interesting. I looked at similar products but for the bike (the non-ST one) they were a bit big for where I could mount them.

:eek :eek

Thats a lot of amps, not suited to the older 1100s, as they would eat 23 of the available 28Amps, and its more draw than a set of 100 watt spotties. In fact, each LED spot would be in the order of 140 Watts..

Ooops, got my Watts and Amps wires crossed.    :spank
Anyway, surely none of us are going there.
1. 9" lights would look ridiculous
2. There are 7" lights that put out over 6000 lumens each that would scorch a skippy.

for smaller options that are robust and I have tested both of them extensively with absolutely no complaints you can try....
Rigid Industries Dually D2 at 2600 lumens each... http://www.motorcycleadventure.com.au/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=88_90&product_id=2918

Or even more betterer are the Baja Designs Squadrons or Onyx at about 4300 lumens each.... http://www.bajadesigns.com/home/ and I currently run the 4" 60w HID Fuego's.

Advantage is the 3'x3" square and the ability to interchange lenses on the Baja's from high speed spot, driving (normal spot), wide corner beam, flood.

With all LED's I run the SKENE IQ controller so I can run them High beam (100%) low beam (60%) daytime running lights at (40%)

2 cents worth  :grin
