2005 Yamaha R1 halo install

well im not done just yet...work has been keeping me busy, but so far so good with the install

time for Halo's!

Step 1: remove lights



Step 2: pre-heat that oven to 300, and bake for 5 minutes



Step 3: remove from oven and pry apart the head lights



Step 4: remove the projector housing covers for paint




Step 5: drill two really small holes really close together to run the wires for the high beam halos





thats all i got for now...Ill finish painting tomorrow, and i need to get some super strong epoxy for the halos so they don't go bouncing around inside my headlights, and I also need to get some Meguiars Plastx, which is a plastic polish for the head light lens, so i can clean it while its all part.

Also in the mail are my Greggs mirror block off plates, CRG bar end mirrors and my clear alternatives integrated tail light....my starbucks cred is about to sky rocket :laughing

Step 6: Install newly painted black projector housings



Step 7: go get your epoxy sealant and Plastix!



Step 8: line up the halo lights on the high beam side, and using painters tape to hold down the halos, Epoxy them in place




Step 9: repeat step 8 for the low beam halo lights




Step 10: make sure everything is lined up nice and straight and let them harden for at least an hour!! make sure to tape them down to get good pressure on the lights so they seal nicely



Step 11: go grab your Plastix, and clean those headlight covers

After:

Wow, nice man. Can't wait to see the finished product.

yup, im excited about it
here is my bike:



and this is what they will look like when finished

Man I want those brakes....

Wow that's hott.

Very nice. Plastx is awesome, I use it once a year or so.

Lookin good. Not AS good as mine, of course, haha!

Anyways, for real, they look good. You won't have any issues with the epoxy causing a chemical fog in your headlights, will you? I'd make sure they epoxy is 100% cured (not just workable cured) so there's no vapors a few days after you seal the headlights.

Gotta love those stomp pads! I can't ride without em' anymore. I mean, technically I can... but I don't like to!

Also, what city/state are you from?

nice bike

WOW talk about a sexy bike. I am indeed very jelous. And I can't wait to see those halos lit up and installed. Very sexy dude. Keep us updated.

Very nice write-up - thanks for taking the time to document it so well! Good looking bike, too...

wow. great job. looks awesome

ok update part 3, I spent my lunch break working on getting the lights back together.

Step 12: remove the tape from the Halo lights and lightly tug on the halos to make sure there not going anywhere.
then place the lens back onto the headlight, and use a hair dryer to head up the Silicone sealant. Im not sure if the Halos could take the heat in the oven....so i didnt chance it.



Step 13: reinstall the lights into the upper fairing-



Step 14: test the lights with a 9v battery...note that these lights are designed to be run on a 12V system so they will be brighter! :teeth

sexy

Hot bike dude!!!

Don't test them with a 9v battery if possible. As you said, they're designed for 12v, and the low-voltage can do damage to the transformer. It's usually ok if you do it quickly, but yeah, avoid it if possible.

:wow :wow :wow it looks even better than I expected!!

DAMN THATS HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....WOW...awsome dude. Simply awsome.

here are some better day time pics

Yay, now we can be the halo brothers.

Sexy bike man & lovin the lights. Sweet writeup as well.
