oops
okay I'll do it today and will let you guys know.

Ha ha what a meaningful signature man.

Hope u got the issues fixed by this time. Its all your fault dude. U forgot the basics of the DC conversion. BTW, then how did u got the 7A on tap? I think thats a wrong reading then. Doc is really running a 24hr help desk hats off to u man


Shree, hows the beam throw of high beam with a dual tube as one tube is slightly aligned to right. Typical bulbs filament alignment is in a straight line. I havent seen this in action. Possibly u r the only person having this at least in this thread. Am sure that your bike will be the center of attraction once u switch it to dual beam. Post the pics ASAP.

Had to leave the bike at Mysore. Focusing was not done due to rain so can't comment on beam throw.
Pictures in action will be coming soon once the focusing is done. There is another guy in Bangalore running the setup on FZ but donno if he has the setup to turn dual in 1 shot or 1 at a time.

still no update nano?

OT - Nano sir, did I miss any post or you haven't revealed your name yet

sorry guys for late post...

i was busy searching for something important

okay
here come the much awaited results..

@ sajit
dude, i got 7 amps reading from a 2.5 amp battery...
1 thing which i want you to know is that i kept (floating ground) in mind during the first re-winding.

i did it exactly that way before, but later on when 12 feet per pole was the demand, i didn't pay attention to it, hence it was forgotten, as i was too busy in making it 12 feet...

so previous readings were with floating ground, new readings were with ground attached....

got it??

@ everybody...

sorry again for late post.
i have accomplished the task.

to keep it more visible i did the testing before and after....

so before floating the ground the readings were as follows.

@ engine off --------- 11.4v
@ engine on --------- 11.5v
@ 2000 rpm --------- 11.5v
@ 3000 rpm --------- 11.5v
@ 4000 rpm --------- 11.5v
@ 5000 rpm --------- 11.6v
@ 6000 rpm --------- 11.6v
@ 7000 rpm --------- 11.6v
@ 8000 rpm --------- 11.6v
@ 9000 rpm --------- 11.7v

this meant my battery was purely dead..

i even checked the amps..

@ engine off

ignition key off -------- 0 amps
ignition key on -------- -0.4 amps
at low beam on -------- -4.3 amps
at high beam on ------- -4.9 amps

so i tried again and it was -4.9 amps too

i looked at the beam and low beam turned off during i switched to high as before saving current to -8 amps
which meant my battery was completely dead..

@ engine on
low beam ------- -3.9 amps
revving hard ---- -3.1 amps

i didn't use high beam as i didn't want battery to die completely..

now the floating ground was done...
1 thing i want you to know guys, since my battery was very low by now, i am not satisfied with the amps, just see the result..

Results after floating ground..
voltage
at engine off -------- 11.4
at engine on -------- 12.3
at 2000 rpm -------- 12.8
at 3000 rpm -------- 13.4
at 4000 rpm -------- 13.8
at 5000 rpm -------- 13.9
at 6000 rpm -------- 13.9
at 7000 rpm -------- 13.9
at 8000 rpm -------- 13.9
at 9000 rpm -------- 13.9

well maybe the battery was discharged so it never reached 14.5 which i did expect, but the results were magnificently visible.

now it was turn to check amps without load...

@ engine off (ignition key on) ------ -0.4 amps
@ engine on -------------------------- +0.8 amps
@ 2000 rpm ------------------------- +1.9 amps
@ 3000 rpm ------------------------- +2.7 amps
@ 4000 rpm ------------------------- +3.6 amps
@ 5000 rpm ------------------------- +3.8 amps
@ 6000 rpm ------------------------- +3.8 amps
@ 7000 rpm ------------------------- +3.9 amps
@ 8000 rpm ------------------------- +4 amps
@ 9000 rpm ------------------------- +4 amps

well i am very unsatisfied with the amps, but i think it was a drained battery hence it didn't show any improvement..

i left that place i rode for 10-15 mins..

i wanted to check my battery as when i honked it blew very loud...

i stopped in the middle of the road and checked the battery..
it showed 13.4 volts

YIPPEEE it is getting charged....

i rode for 20-30 more mins and again checked
it showed 13.6 volts

after riding in traffic/highway for 2 hours
it showed 13.62 volts.....

remember guys this was the first time ever my battery crossed a 12.8 mark.
that too in just 15 mins of ride..

i was too busy to check the amps later on, but i think they are very healthy, as they pump in enough to charge the battery from 11.4 to 13.6 in 15 mins.....

that's all
waiting for valuable comments from everyone...

Nice to know that. Hope its the end of all problems you faced

NOW its time for u to answer the below post

well, i feel the bad times are over and even with a completely dead or discharged battery the figures are quite impressive i say.dont worry about the amps,its ok i guess,just put the load and test,the rr is quite clever and dont flush all the amps to the battery when no load is there.with laod the amps will increase.eg-my bike only shows 6 amps max in 9 k but when load is give it reaches 12amps!!.

also for next few days ride ride and some more ride,with your low beam on!!yes ,if the charging is ok then there will not be any problem,this is the only and ,most real life way to test.just use that as your daytime safety lights like a ninja.

also,change to leds asap,if you have probs tell me.i think you got 4 leds from navnish that will work too in console.

enjoy the lights in full way,no more installments,its full bumper prize for you now,enjoy,goodluck,thanks.

finally got an h3 hid.... the glow is amazing..... all thanks to navnish....

well you want to know my REAL name.
its Gagandeep Rehal.

but Nano is my pet name and my parents kept my name nano long before keeping Gagandeep.

@ doc
thanks a ton for your 24/7 helpdesk.
helped me a lot...
i got only 2 led's from navnish and i lost 1 of them !!
i will change all console lights to led's this weekend itself.
hope i get hid from navnish by then (he isn't replying my mail neither answering my phone)


@ sajit..
i know its my fault, but we all learn from mistakes right ??
i think i am the only person in this forum to have soo many issues with 1 particular mod.
let's calculate the problems..

1) i wanted a projector instead normal hid
2) i wanted a halogen for high beam so that i can flash
3) i wanted all those 2 cannons INSIDE the sealbeam
4) i didn't want any aux lamps.
5) lack of knowledge about electrical stuff.
6) very difficult to adjust perfect beam throw on both.
7) had a lot of issues to source an ape rr
8) had a lot of issues while rewinding the coil.
9) had many issues even when everything was seeming to be okay
10) had issues even with 12 FEET per pole

after all these things, this 1 particular thread can answer all these questions precisely for a layman to understand.
all thanks to you guys..

@shreeni..

waiting desperately for your beam pics man..
and yes even i wonder as how the spread would be with one bulb a bit on the side..

won't 2 together produce a lot of heat?
as they are so close together??

@ all
i read my posts from page 1 and gosh i was soooo stupid.
i thank you all with all my heart to neglect my stupid mistakes and answer my stupid queries too.
thank you soo much EVERYBODY who helped me.

Regarding Navnish - He was held up with his office work so probably busy. And AFAIK he is expecting new stocks as all his stocks are over. Leave a text msg, he ll get back.

Will post the beam pictures over the weekend, as I said earlier even I haven't tried out as the last weekend it was pouring
And regarding heat, I asked Navnish the same thing, he said it won't cause any harm.

i spoke to navnish...
next week I'll get my kit i think.

good setup, i am waiting for pics, besides tell me how did you find out that such a thing exists?

I'll post my pics of both the HID's in action after the kit arrives..
you guys until now haven't seen my high beam right,
wait and i will show you both of them in action on some good dry road.

dude..
how come you settle down with only low beam, that too with a cut off??
its a nightmare on pitch dark highways, as nothing above the cut off is visible..

do something about high beam bro..

i didnt have a choice of projectors when i bought those... i dont have much highway riding...... and i dont want to put another headlamp on the crash guard or somewhere... do u have any other solution for the problem? i do face that problem sometime and have to slow down the bike....

even i didn't want any lamps on the handlebars or crash guard
you know what i did right?

since you already have a projector, why don't go for bixenon one.
its better than staying only on low beam

if a new one is expensive then go for junk one.
but you already have a HID which is H3.
finding a H3 type bixenon in junk will be a very very difficult task.
