Homade headlight

How does this look? (This is just a picture edited in Photoshop.) I made the bucket myself from some aluminum sheet metal.

don't go cuttin' up that number plate

How would you power a head light if you were to mount one?

I don't think it's fair that your dad gets to work on his 50 but you can't!

Check out any of the XR headlights on ebay. I got mine for $15 but it is white and purple.

Actually d0n, my dad chooses not to work on his bike because he doesn't know as much about them as I do. I do almost all of the work on the work on the bikes. What annoys me is when he goes out for a ride around the neighborhood. All I get to do is watch and listen.

Apparently, people don't think it looks as good as I think it looks.

naw, it looks fine. BUT, it would have been better if you cut the numberplate cleaner and fitted it with a nice headlight lens.

no way the light output of that will be worthwhile.

It's actually really bright with a large 6volt battery. You know, the big rectangular ones. I can shine it on the blacktop during full daylight and see the light on the ground.
