How to install Kawasaki Vulcan LED Headlight 7" 900 1500 1600 1700 2000 Suzuki Boulevard C50 C90

[@sirdroll]

I had to tweak a couple minor items during the install, but it's on the bike with an LED lamp. A couple of my issues on a 2023 Kawi 900: the lamp wouldn't allow for a proper seating of the chrome ring and the bracket. The lamp I purchased had an edge that was approximately 1/4 thicker than others that I've seen installed on KZbin. But I had three 3/4" stainless, hex head screws; so that worked out. One of the two openings for the two nylon nuts was too narrow, but a quick brush against my belt sander did the trick. All in all, the bracket, while pricey, was the only solution I could find to add the illumination and aesthetic I was after.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

Thank you for the feedback. We are making some minor tweaks to the nut well so it won't be too tight. Aside from sanding the nut, another solution would be to gently pry open the folded tabs - they are sometimes over-folded. Can you advise which headlight you used?

[@sirdroll]

Okay, Randy, I ordered the adapter, and will admit that EA has done good work with this modification to old school headlights. You made a valid point in your response to my comment regarding the price of the work your team accomplished. After searching MANY options to mount an LED headlight in my bike, yours is the most convenient; and your instructions on youtube are easy to follow. Well done EA. I stand corrected.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

Be sure to let us know your experience once you get the light installed! Thank you for supporting a small, family-run business!

[@sirdroll]

I can't tell you the brand of the headlight I bought. There was no logo or other ID'ing info on this relatively inexpensive, but effective l.e.d. bulb(s) or the pkg material. The fit was a bit tortured, but in the final analysis, worth doing. I had to use different (stainless) screws, but I had those on hand. The sizing of the nylon nut was a minor annoyance. This is a good upgrade for the not-so-well lighted roads of my beloved Florida.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

@@sirdroll Thank you for the feedback and glad it worked well for you!

[@theo9811]

Bravo! I just received this exact kit for my 2024 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic. Excellent fit, and this video explains the installation very clearly. No need to modify the nylon nuts, I barely had to tweak one side open with a large screwdriver, and it fit perfectly snug. Take your time, protect the new headlamp with the plastic it came with, and you'll love the results. Thank you for designing a great product. Well worth the cost.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

We have worked with QC to make sure those tabs are not "overbent" when in the brake machine. The method you mention is exactly how we suggest making any corrections, should the nut not fit into the nutwell straight away. So glad to hear you are happy with this product. Thank you for trusting us and spending your hard-earned with us!

[@willkearney5002]

As a multiple Vulcan owner, I can certainly appreciate this bracket. 1700Nomad & 1700Vaquero. Both 2011's.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

Everyone should be a multiple Vulcan owner, right? This bracket will work on the Nomad but our Voyager/Vaquero bracket is suited for your cowboy! If anyone is looking for that, you can find that install video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIu9fIBjZbSnodE

[@markj4594]

I have a 2024 Vulcan 900 classic and so far the headlight works well. Installing took longer than a half hour due to the nylon nuts being too thick. I shaved them down and the fit perfectly. So far this is a very good product.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

Thank you for the feedback! We are glad it is working well for you, and you are happy with it. The tabs in the nutwell sometimes get bent in just a bit too far. Some customers have reported they need to shave the nut but another option is to apply pressure to the tabs and bend them open just a bit and the nylon nut will slip in.

[@markj4594]

@@EngineeredAdapters that's true. Now I believe I have to adjust the vertical direction of the head light.

I installed my LED headlight & passing lights on my voyager this winter. The adapters worked like magic! I also used your amp mount & speaker mounts to upgrade my sound system. Thanks Randy!

Finally, something good for my 2011 Vulcan 900 Classic. Thank you

[@loribeal8197]

I just installed this on my 2013 Vulcan 900 classic. Everything went together fairly easily as per the video. However, I found that the headlight that I purchased separately was loose in the adapter. I waited until it was all assemble and found it was still loose. So I put 3 small pieces of felt pads (that had to be trimmed to fit well) close to the notches in the bracket. That did the job. Now it is nice and snug. Thank you for a great product.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

Lori, thank you for the feedback! Great little trick with the pads! We try to improve our products whenever possible and feedback like this is critical. We understand that some manufacturers have different specs so their lights may not be a direct fit w/o some modifications. Still, we try to make it as universal as possible and feedback like this helps!

Just got my light kit today - Thanks for posting in the Suzuki forum on FB first of all, thank you for the clear instructions. I have the bracket mounted to the light, and will toss it on the C50 tomorrow (too many beers right now to test ride anyway *grin*)

[@Steve-Kratz]

Note on Suzuki mounting - the 6 o'clock screw you need to get at with a teeny-tiny screwdriver. There's a hole in the shroud that's about 1/8" wide, and you need needle-nose pliers to help insert the screw (hit the hole at a bit of an angle and then set it straight as it's REALLY close to the edge of the shroud.) From the original adjustment point, I would've been blinding airplanes with the high beams. It had to come down about 2 feet at feet.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

@@Steve-Kratz thank you for that additional explanation!

[@mbarr1029]

Nice post there Randy, And THANK YOU for my Vaquero bracket I love my JW Speaker headlamp. You have taken Greg's and Shane's hacks to a new level

[@heybruh3274]

Completed mine yesterday on a Vulcan Classic. Just a note on my experience: Everything went quickly until securing the light adjustment bracket. It felt like I might strip out the screw or the housing because of the angle. Instead of creating an issue, I found it very easy to measure, and then simply back off the tension on the lamp adjustment screw. (5:00 in video) Went together much easier. Headlight aim was right on. Drove around last night and man - new LED (with Halo) is awesome!!

[@EngineeredAdapters]

We considered using that method in the video. We used a set of mics to measure ours when we did it. However, we figured not everyone has something to make such precise measurements. Even with that, there's no guarantee that a new headlight will hold the same aimpoint but pre-measuring should at least get you back in the ballpark. This is why we highly suggest everyone check the aim after the installation. This is a great alternative method. Thanks for mentioning it!

I needed this now I have it after ordering some Amazon mounting ring adapter that didn’t fit that they said fit #THANK YOU Vulcan 1700 classic

[@EngineeredAdapters]

So many manufacturers state their lights will "fit" but do not have the proper adapter to do so. Glad you found us!

[@sirdroll]

You guys did a nice job of creating this adapter, but the headlight I purchased with all of the amazing LED tech inside, including shipping was a mere $52. The bracket you're offering is $119! I'm keeping my old headlight. But, again, nice job of coming up with a convenient way of mounting these LED lights.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

Thank you for the feedback, but that's an apples to oranges comparison. That LED light, with all of the "tech", was manufactured in China, with chinese parts, supporting Chinese jobs - and at high volume. Our products are low-volume, manufactured in America supporting American jobs. Our pricing reflects the high-cost of low-volume manufacturing.

[@DNiddy]

Perfection. Btw, I've owned an angled screwdriver for quite awhile. easily removes that 'hidden screw' on the adjustment bracket. They are very inexpensive and really should come with this "kit".

[@kronyq2_60]

Great product finally got mine installed! Just as a heads up on some Vulcan headlights the nylon nuts may be too big to fit initially so keep some sand paper nearby to adjust their size or just buy new ones your call! Also offset screwdrivers do wonders for the issue of the adjustment bracket.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

We have noticed that the well for the nylon nut sometimes has overbend from the brake form. An alternative to sanding the nylon nut is to gently pry the rear tabs back to allow the nut to insert into the well.

Too expensive. I bought one though 😅

[@EngineeredAdapters]

We all ride here. We completely understand that each time we purchase an upgrade or accessory we need to justify the purchase price and often run through the same series of questions everyone else does. Is it necessary? Can I fabricate something on my own? Does it save me time? What is my time worth? Some creative people have fabricated their own solution but this is a superior solution in every way. From our standpoint, low-volume production is very expensive. Sometimes, we struggle just to find a manufacturer willing to help because they all want high-volume work. Fortunately, we have found some great local manufacturers who have worked with us, but that quality and workmanship comes at a premium! Just know, should you decided to move forward with your purchase, we offer great support!

[@EngineeredAdapters]

That wouldn't be our headlight, we don't sell LED lights with the turn signals. However, you will discover that LED signal lights have very little electrical resistance which can cause hyperflash or other issues. The system reads the lack of resistance as a "blown bulb". Often a resistor module is required to make the signals work normally.

However, the light - as wired, allows the halo to be on for both high and low beams. Some lights only allow the halo with low beams.

What’s different about the 1500E that makes I’m not applicable?

[@EngineeredAdapters]

Our research shows the bracket is different.

Did you find a solution for your 1500E? I am having zero luck

We plan to add this to any future light videos. I agree, it would help to see a comparison. But we can tell you that it blows away the factory lighting!

Can u make one for the Vulcan 800

[@EngineeredAdapters]

We are looking into additional models of bikes to determine if there are other adapters we should pursue.

[@LLKLL]

Will it fit the vulcan 800 from 99'?

[@EngineeredAdapters]

It will not. Nothing below 900cc in the Kawasaki lineup

2014 vulcan 900 custom?

[@EngineeredAdapters]

Does not fit the Custom.

[@BlaiseBodin]

Do you have one for the vilcan mean streak 1600

[@EngineeredAdapters]

The Mean Streak uses a different bracket - this is not a direct-fit, sorry.

We are starting r&d for feasibility

That should be a compatible model, yes.

Can anyone tell me their shipping experience with EA? I havent been able to reach anyone. No tracking number or other communication other than acceptance of payment through PayPal. Do they make these only after receiving an order?

Do you use a 7" led assembly?

This is the only bracket you need. You will need an LED headlight which we also now sell on the website!

[@joshuahernandez9682]

I have an 08 EN500 vulcan will this work ?

I believe most bikes below 900cc use a 5-3/4" light so this is not compatible

[@zanraz]

Is there a different kit that works for the 2008 Vulcan 500?

[@Anhnoles]

ah bummer not 900 custom compatible

[@EngineeredAdapters]

The 900 Custom uses a 5-3/4" light. Some custom owners have converted to a 7" light which would work if it was a light from one of the compatible bikes.

[@coopersilberling6883]

For $119 I hope an LED headlight comes with the bracket…

[@EngineeredAdapters]

Maybe you should investigate the cost of low-volume and short-run production before judging if the cost is reasonable. These are made in America, using American workforce supporting American families. Admittedly, the chrome clamp ring is offshore-sourced but only b/c we haven't found a US-based manufacturer to produce it, but we are always looking. I would like to add that very few companies make products for these bikes. Would you like to know the reasons? 1) Capital. It costs a lot for r&d, it costs a lot to start-up an it costs a lot for the type of ongoing manufacturing previously mentioned. These aren't those popular American-made bikes where 10,000 units are sold each year. 2) Lack of support. The irony is that while most owners will complain they can't find enough aftermarket support, those same owners complain that the little support that is available is expensive. You simply don't get it both ways - you either have no aftermarket support or you pay the cost for those companies willing to step up and invest in tooling and manufacturing, those willing to accept the financial risk involved to manufacture parts that no other company is willing to do.

[@cheveyboy2009]

Don’t know why it has to be 120$

[@EngineeredAdapters]

Thanks for commenting! This part is manufactured in the US using high-quality materials and processes. We understand that offshore manufacturing is considerably cheaper. We have been in manufacturing for over 35 years and refuse to have anything made overseas. We back up this product and take pride in the fact that this is made in the USA, supports US jobs and families - and we accept that this comes at a premium price. That also means that cost must be reflected in the retail price.

[@umangu]

Why did Kawasaki make such a simple thing so complicated!?

[@EngineeredAdapters]

It's really the aftermarket companies as they cater to the biggest market, which is Harley Davidson motorcycles. Most aftermarket LED lights are a direct-fit for HD or even Jeeps, but not metric bikes. Over the years, some crafty people have come up with DIY-remedies but none of them are great solutions. The Engineered Adapters' bracket turns this into a 20-minute installation! After aiming your new light, you are back to riding!

[@shakeswigglez3746]

$119 just for a simple adapter??. It is pretty silly that you can buy the actual headlight for much cheaper than the adapter which consists of a simple metal piece. This guy's are taking advantage of people.

[@EngineeredAdapters]

You have to remember that the headlights in that price range are made in China and we, in America, can't even compete with that pricing. Since these fit a limited selection of models, we sell thousands of times fewer units than someone selling a 7" headlight. Short-run manufacturing is very costly in the States and we believe in Made in America. Maybe if the demand increases, we can justify tooling up to reduce manufacturing costs which would then drive the price down. In the meantime, we want to thank all of those who have purchased and helped support a small, family-run, American-made business.
