i saw it in your build thread. My first idea was to use the original ignition key for the starter, when turned to P it had to activate the starter motor.
But finally i kinda like the idea of pushing a button to start. (and i did not want to cut up the existing ignition wiring )

i'm looking for a different headlight. At a swap meat i saw Hella Rallye 3000 lights. They are mostly used for offroad driving and on trucks, but i think it will look awesome on my tracker.



can this Hella be used as a headlight, does it need to be modified, or is it just a no-go?

When we get our safety check (here in Texas) we have to show high and low beams. I don't think the driving lights have two elements. Plus probably too powerful for general road use??

I know from my jeeping days they aren't street legal over here. But a lot of things aren't street legal here and still get used all the time. In the netherlands...

I do agree it would probably look pretty sweet.

It's really the grid/screen that makes it look cool - maybe you could remove that and make it fit your original headlight ?

the hella's has city lights and high beam, so that should be no problem.
i want to know if i can just mount them on my gl1000 or do i need to modify anything like the wiring harness?
The bulbs are 55W

i am looking for big lights larger than 8", so that's why the Hella's came up. If there are other big diameter lights (not to expensive) i wil consider them also.

Looks reasonable to try.

55 watts should be fine. I think that was the wattage of the original high beam.

made some small modifications today, relocated the speedo and added tommasselli lamp mounts

gotta fix that license plate some day ...

Love that rear tire.

I really like the look. Would you consider this a budget build? I am inspired.

I really like those tires too but didn't have in size I wanted, so went with Distanzia. Later.

I love the style of this bike! cool build!

added the Hella Rallye 3000 lights. i think the looks of that big rond headlight (22cm) are great but the city light is very dim. The high beam i need to check, unfortunately the weather isn't right for riding at night today
