I’m sure it can, asi tried a 100w bulb and a 55w bulb together it was dimmer than using 2-55w which works great

Got busy after she brought her bike back. Slapped on the new knobbies with the lite locs rim locks. Girl bought Tusk D flex hand guards. They went on easier n stronger than the expensive Cycra hand guards I got. The whole kit was less than what the two bar clamps for the Cycras. Beefy n sturdy those Tusk hand guards, I probably will rethink the expensive HDB hand guards for my bike after the utter simplicity of these. Kiss. Keep it simple stupid. So basic they are awesome, my Cycras were a night mare of bending n rebending to fit them up decently.

The Cycra guards $189.00, the Highway Dirt Bikes guards $2??.?? With the fold out mirrors,
Those Tusk D flex guards >$35 to her door.
I spent way to much for not that much better of a product #headslap

That or form over function. Gotta look cool. I did a set of the $20 specials off ebay, with a bit lesser quality mount finish, near identical to the Acerbis - probably an illegal knock off.

Solid progress. I’ve been fortunate the heat from welding hasn’t made any unusual warpage, it actually bolted up without effort.


Unfinished welds since two more angled plates to go/revision.

Completed. No unusual harmonic vibration noise as is the case sometimes
