Nice beam there Siva.

I tried the NB with 55/60 alternator and I say that I'm not extremely happy. The beam is ok, but still not strong enough for the night. I need something more brighter with a stronger beam. I was thinking of getting a clamp fitting from the top part of the fork and fit in a casing to install a HID. Now there are complications, mine is not a DC unit(P200), and I've heard innumerable problems for non DC run bikes. Any ideas of a reliable place to convert to DC? And it has to be reliable, otherwise I'm missing the whole point.

Hi guys, gone through few pages on this thread, but i kind of need a direct perspective from someone who has done some lighting work on a RTR:

I am thinking of getting the pilot lamps removed, they dont serve any imp purpose. My main purpose, is to get an Osram Nightbreaker for the high beam. I mainly need it for my daily travel at night over hosur road traffic. So, its not for long durations of lighting and hence i dont think there should be any concern on battery drain times.

Also, is it possible to get just one of those Osram Nigthbreaker lamps in blore. Any pointers for this?

Cheers
Naren

Yeah.. all bikes have a regulator cum rectifier unit that converts AC to DC. Costs around 500 bucks.

If you do not want to make a custom unit, use one of them instead!

One of my friend picked up a single OSRAM night breaker from JC Road.... There both the double and single packs were available.... Once you enter JC road from Minerva Circle, take left at the signal (if you take right you will reach Urvashi Theater) than take second right .. If I am remembering correctly it was the third or the fourth shop on the left side.
