Dualsport Fairing w PnP LED Lighting

[sanjoh]

Have you ever wanted a little more protection on that long dualsport ride or just finished that gnarly trail and have a long stretch to get back to camp? Didn't plan to ride till dark but will never forget that last trail! Now you don't need to worry about that awesome stock headlight and mask, we've got a replacement in the works.

We've been working with other like minded riders to come up with this prototype.



Mounted on a 08 Husky TE450.

Fairing
Made of fiberglass, available in black, white and additional color(s) and/or graphics options to be determined. Recessed light wells keep the lights out of harms way. The vertical features make the fairing rigid while keeping the weight down.

Lighting
The fairing uses our proven led lights, from the Model 30 to the awesome Model 60, aluminum housing, oring sealed, waterproof. You choose the light configuration based on desired amount of light and available stator output.
The lower light is dimmable so as not to blind oncoming traffic, once you’ve set the level you like, the light will remain at that same level until you change it, a set it and forget it solution.

Not DOT legal, my experience thus far is that it works without annoying others. Want some serious light off road; hit the high beam switch and both lights go to full power. Yep, no additional switches on the bars. FULL power means 7200 lumens if you have 2 model 60s installed.

Electrics
The Plug n Play option will be available for KTMs and Husqvarna as of now. Want a PnP option for your bike; send me a picture of your headlight connector and the pinouts/electrical connections.

Mounting
We will offer the fork strap mount as used on the Husky and a KTM mount with 2 straps up top and the pins on bottom. If you have other suggestions on common mounting options, I am all ears.

Pricing
Yet to be finalized. However as with all our products, it will be a great value. We expect a single light setup to be <$200. And install in 5 minutes, maybe 10 if you

Any and all feedback from YFFs is appreciated. Expected to be available in March 2012.

PERFECT! I assume either the lights are adjustable, or the lower one is pointed down more for low beam use?!

I'm interested, and could potentially be the wr250r guinnee pig if you're into it. I've done a bunch Of electriCal/lighting stuff on my other bike (link in signature), and the wrr now needs some attention.

The direction of each light is independently adjustable. Keep in mind, the ability to dim the lower light, reduces the importance of aiming it.

Heck yes, if you could snap some pics of the connector and send the pinouts/electrical connections for it , we can include a PnP option. Please send to sandjoh@gmail.com. I'll offer you a substantial discount for your help.

Thanks

I like these mounts. Solid, easy to take the light on & off and gives a bit more space for the wiring and spedometer.

I would love this fairing with an opening for a 7" round headlight. I want to use the Truck lite LED headlight that is DOT approved. Is something like that possible? It would go on my XR650L.

From someone that has had worm drive hose clamps break in the middle of trip, you don't really want them. I did replace them with tbolt clamps, iirc that was about 12k miles ago.

The fairing is designed for a 2" diameter light. If you are set on using the truck lite, I'd recommend you try something like this

7" light with a dakar screen cut to fit.

in to hear about the progression of this fairing. Looks really good on the Husky TE.

I agree. Do you intend to go with white only? I have yet to buy an oversize tank and I think a white tank with the fairing would look kick ass.

I'll be all over this for my WR250R

When it's ready ---------I'll order it---I want 2 60's in it with the dimmer.
If you don't have time Sanjoh to make it plug and play---I can
handle the wiring. I'll want a white fairing.

Just put a pair of 60's on my KLR---and have been holding off for another purchase cause I just didn't know what to do on my WR ????? Now I guess I do.

By the way Sanjoh-----the WR250r has 350 watts of power and I've used my stock headlight, gps, heated grips, and heated vest for a 6 week trip to Alaska---the charging system on this bike is phenomenal for a small bike. The stock wire feeding the stock headlight will be plenty ample in size.

The fairing will come in black and white base colors. Optional graphics to better match bike will be available.

Something about a white dirt bike

You were just the guy I was thinking of during the design. You are gonna love the wind protection without compromising visibility.

Thanks for the offer on the wiring. 350 watts! I'm jealous, why can all bikes have that?

Thoughts?

x2

or maybe a whole new product line?

one tall version
one shorter version
one with the best of both, top half removable

[Fast1]

Are you to the point where you can provide the dimensions of the fairing (lengthxwidth)?

It appears that mounted on the Husky there may be some amount of adjustment either up or down based on where the clamps are positioned on the forks..correct?

[kaosrider]

When can we order???

[Subaru297]

Another WR250X user subscribing. Very impressed with your LED lights. This could be a worthy upgrade as well.

Although an adjustable windscreen would be preferable and easier than putting out models with different heights.
Adjustable windscreen is pretty easy. Just drill a few holes.



Cheers

Thanks for all the feedback thus far.

Just got back from an evening ride. The low beam works wonderful (currently model 30), plenty of light to see yet not blinding anyone. Local police had a close inspection and approved

This is a prototype, more models to come.

There is a small amount of adjustment up and down. The top of the fairing is 8" above the triple. Dimensions will be provided with the production model, which is in process as I type.

Next month. The fairing will be offered in any lighting configuration of the model 30, 44 or the 60. Can't wait to to test it with out with two 60s, that is one amazing light.

Keep in mind you get full power on high beam so 2 60s will pull just north of 60 watts and make daylight
