that looks nice and has me thinking of doing the same. Are those strip LED lights I see down low between the bags and fender?

**jestephens** · 08-07-2012, 06:05 PM

that right. There are LEDs between the bags and fender - I've met that guy, and we have discussed some options since his shop does custom metric bikes

Did you purchase the auxiliary lights or make them? I go pick up my red Vaquero next Saturday (yay, finally!), and I know I want to do something with those fake covers but haven't decided to buy something or make something.

I would like to know where you ended up getting the led headlight. Or did you mod one to fit

elvis · 08-18-2012, 02:57 AM

Very cool. Did you make a youtube clip or recorded the sound of your pipes? If yes, I'd like to hear those pipes, thanks ahead.

I ended up with the HD light. It took a lot less work to mount than I expected. Unlike my last custom headlight, this one did not use a single drop of epoxy. (I used to laugh that my headlight was held in with glue). This one was [almost] a bolt-on, but still took some creative thinking and new hardware. $425 was the cheapest price I found.

I did make a couple videos. Here's one of them, but there's more on my channel, and it sounds a bit different now. Later I went in and modified a little more to even out the exhaust flow/pressure between L and R. Now it's a little smoother yet. It has a real nice, mellow, rumble.

Sounds good, I think it sounds even better in real.

The Vaquero's probably one of the best looking baggers...

Dude, everything about your bike is just absolutely SICK! You've got a real eye for what will look good on your beast!
