Matt Gecko LED Headlight Review - Kawasaki Vulcan S

[@BikeRider01]

Nice... I went the more economical way. I just changed the lightbulb for a LED one.

[@GLESSisLEGENDARY]

I did the same at first but it didnt help me out that much, my eyesight isn’t the greatest either this definitely made a difference for me

[@ragbag46]

I am also adding two pairs spots, these also help with daytime vis to oncoming traffic.

[@frankwang8611]

Great video! Looking good! Was wondering what phone mount do you use?

[@VulcanStride]

What about hoglights exact same light and install only more expensive and about 5w brighter is it worth the extra $250

[@GIJOE573]

Alright, I'm sold. Great review

[@TheCaptslapshot]

I know you sold your Kawasaki but I was wondering if it very bright that it will blind other drivers?

[@GLESSisLEGENDARY]

I never seen it head on but i can tell you i got plenty of flashing high beams at me driving by when i didnt have high beams on

Damn! Might have to pull the trigger on it for my Versys X 300. Any issues after 9 months?

[@GLESSisLEGENDARY]

Had it on there for 2 years without an issue unfortunately i no longer have that bike sold is back in january but it was the best investment i put into it in my opinion

Just bought this one because of this vid. Did you have to balance it? I read that the DTRL Halo needed to be spliced in...is that not the case anymore? What other mods do you got?

[@GLESSisLEGENDARY]

I didnt not have to do anything besides swapping the mounting brackets from the oem assembly into this one, no splicing is required & i did not have to balance it or anything. Just swapped the mounting brackets for the assembly and the case around the headlight plugged it in made sure it worked and mounted it into the bike, very simple i wish it came with directions but i was able to figure it out once i had the oem headlight off what was different between the two that had to be swapped, came with new screws also

[@GLESSisLEGENDARY]

I also have ram tank mount with sp connect phone case for easy turn & lock mounting, usb charging port, IDEA gear indicator since mine is a 2015 didnt have that on the instrument cluster, two brothers full racing exhaust, power commander v of course, chrome glow fender eliminator kit, LED front turn signal bulb replacement with smoked lens, corbin gun fighter saddle seat, sissy bar with luggage rack & a chase harper bag, LED Underglow kit, stainless steel radiator gaurd that says “Vulcan S” on it, got rid of the ugly mirrors put the speedmetal low profile from cycle gear on it and 10mm spools for easy maintenance on chain and when i replaced the tires... i think thats about it lol

[@172389]

@@GLESSisLEGENDARY I have a Vulcan S and I'm familiar with taking off the stock housing to change the bulb inside. Could you describe what you mean by "swapping the mounting brackets"? Are you talking about the two brackets at the top which slide down onto the two posts?

[@GLESSisLEGENDARY]

Brendan B. Correct those & i believe its also the ones that the plastic housing connects to it also if i remember correctly, i did install it over a year ago. You’ll be able to tell if you compare them together when parts dont fit😅 unfortunately it doesnt come with directions but i was able to figure it out

[@forrestnome9521]

I installed one of these today. No splicing. You just remove the old DTRL bulb and plug the new LED DTRL red wire into it's slot. I used electrical tape to keep it secured bc it isn't a tight fit. I also wrapped the wires w electrical tape bc they were flimsy and moving around behind the headlamp and didn't want them to get caught I to the steering.

[@countryboy9546]

I kind of want to do this and the Kawasaki light bar. I have a light problem.

[@GLESSisLEGENDARY]

No such thing as light problem always gotta be visible, i havent seen anybody with both yet if you do it post up some pictures id love to see

[@countryboy9546]

BudRyser I soon as I can get an extra $800 lol. Maybe with the newest stimulus check if it comes out.

[@inggilparipurnanto2436]

Thanks for sharing. By the way..what is the phone holder you use? Seems you attach your mobile phone onto something-attached to the tank.

[@GLESSisLEGENDARY]

Ram tank mount with 1inch extension then its an SP Connect phone mount with the SP Connect phone case

[@shankyrocking92]

What is the top speed you did on your bike? How are you finding it overall?

[@GLESSisLEGENDARY]

Top speed with me on it (195lbs) roughly 120mph, overall i love my bike its perfect for the location i live i have no problem on the highway doing 80mph relaxing 6th gear at about 7000rpm, redline 9500. Its alot of fun on the backroads, the top speed doesnt do much for me i dont really ride up that speed anyways but the bike is still quick and lightweight, very comfortable seating position

[@viatemar7034]

Does it have a EG / ECE Sign? wanted to buy one just want to know if its legal so i dont waste the money (legal for Germany)

[@GLESSisLEGENDARY]

That I am unaware of but you could contact him on his website and send a message asking about it. I don’t recall see any certifications but I also was not looking either
