Rivco LED-115 LED Headlights

From what I see there, it appears the stock retaining spring is replaced by a different spring but you do get to re-use the stock rubber sealing boot. Do I have that about right? If so, I would say Rivco has really thought through this and supplied all the necessary parts to make it work properly. If the claim of 3600 lumens is accurate, light output down-the-road should be more than adequate. Due to the vague cut-off, you may need to lower the beam to keep oncoming traffic from flashing their lights at you.

Yes you have it right. You re-use the rubber boot and the bulb adapter.

The stock retaining wire is removed and is replaced by that metal strip which provides the spring tension on the outside of the rubber boot. The stock wire/spring is under the rubber boot and wouldn't work in this application.

i just came back from a motorcycle rally in Laconia NH. The lighted road area is just fine and I didn't get anyone flashing their high beams at me.

And so they don't have a high beam set yet ?

Edit: should have read on....seems these are for both hi and low

No problem. Our F6Bs have four H7 bulbs. These Rivco replacements are the same for high and low.

The install instructions that they provide are for the low beam. From what I'm gathering, they don't have a separate install set for the high beams. The only difference would be gaining access to the high beam locations, cubby removal and such.

From their product page:
Note: These bulbs fit high and low beams. Included are the detailed instructions for the low beams. High beam installation is more difficult with these bulbs - consult your service manual

Socal Motogear has high and low beam LEDs in. No fan at the base, but a passive heat sink. Install is pretty straightforward unless you drop the adapter ring down into the fairing. I installed hi/low beams and the fog light/turn signals.

Way brighter than stock- and the high beams...well, Lets just say you can't use them in traffic.

I love the SoCal turn signal replacements. What a great product. Extra driving lights, which can't hurt, and amber turn signals when needed.

Precautions abound when doing any work inside the fairing. When I had to install the new spring clips, I put a long piece of masking tape on it to help hold it in place under the phillips screw until I could tighten it down.

I did manage to drop one of the 10mm bolts down into the abyss when lifting the gauge cluster. Fortunately I had a spare in a parts bag from my VTX days.
