Now that we have confirmation that Hodgkins is moving forward with that stator, I need some advice.

I have a standard polisport headlight with a 35w bulb and trailtech regulator.

What options do I have for upgrading the bulb to something I could use trail riding?  Will my headlight fit H4 type of bulb like the Cyclops?

 

I really like the Polisport Lookos headlight but it doesn't seem the bulb is upgradable. (Non solar panel one)

Is there an option to run the Lookos and upgrade the LED?  The LED's only push 800 lumens combined.

You say that we have confirmation that Hodgkins is moving forward with the stators, so does that mean you received a PM from him recently? I haven't heard anything for a while. 

Me either. So, I'll sit and wait.

Hey Chevy-

Yes, just posted what I receive from Steve above.

Going to your setup-  You have a WR mask and baja designs bulb? 

How's it on the trail?

I haven't had it in the woods yet with that setup... It looks awesome though, and keeps that "factory" look IMO. It should be plenty bright enough at 5,000 lumens. I'll try to take some pictures of how bright it is soon... I'm still considering a nice battery powered helmet light, just because it will be nice to have a light that is always pointed in the direction you are looking. I'm worried that using only a head light wont be enough when climbing hills, as it will probably be pointed up in the trees.

Can you link me to what you purchased at Baja Designs?

I'm also going to use a helmet light as you mentioned from RMATV.

Thanks Dan. Monk obviously doesn't know who I am. It's has been a while since I have been on the forums. Roland still around?

Hodgkins is a member on the forum.

He built external lighting coil for YZ bikes.

It was a limit production.

They're ~$500.

They're similar to an e-line clone.

500!! Ya I'll keep running battery based led's for 60 bucks.
