Headlight upgrade?
Does anyone know of any headlight upgrades for a 2013 gasgas? I'm going to do a 24 hour race and will need some good lighting for the night stints. Any recommendations?

Electric start bike? If so, check out this one http://www.apexillumination.com/moto...nt-harness-kit It's not the cheapest but by no means the most expensive either. Plus, I know the guys who run the business. They are local AMRA series racers and good guys.

For night racing, I would add a helmet light. But be warned: you will run into a power supply issue if using two lights. My 2015 OEM Gasgas generator drives the Enduro-Tech light, but nothing more. I carry a battery for the helmet light in my Camelbak. http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/pic...&pictureid=916 See my thread http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22295 |
Also worth looking at the Baja Designs Squadron lights https://www.bajadesigns.com/products...e-Lighting.asp
There are several different options for suppliers of auxiliary lights if you prefer to add extra lights rather than replacing/upgrading the current unit. Auxiliary lights are not as neat but are easier to swap between bikes. Another option would be to simply fit an LED H4 bulb (may also need a DC reg if you are only running AC). It might not be quite as good as the BD or enduro-tech options but it is sure to be a lot cheaper. |
This outfit has a few choices if you want to add extra lights instead of using the stock headlight housing.

It's a 2013 ec 200. No electic start. I have only used lights on a dirt bike in an emergency ride back to the truck. I don't really plan on riding at night much so I don't really want to sink a lot of money into lighting for one race.
How can I tell if my bike is running ac or D.C.? |

However, from what I can see in the 2013 user's manual , the 2013 bikes have AC. |
Where did you get the plastic upgrade from your EC200? I cannot find anyone who has them or will ship them stateside :confused:

I don't know of you you foundation a sokution already but
I mounted two flashlight - headlights on my helmet. http://www.imalent.com/3g/show.asp?m=2&d=188 They got an USB charging Port so I can run a battery pack while riding. I mounted them with such clamps https://m.grainger.com/mobile/produc...pe-Clamp-1RVC5 |

Since almost 50% of riding time I have here in Estonia is in dark, I need plenty of light. I am now quite pleased with my setup, but it's still not good enough for fast riding (actually not a big issue since 90% I ride technical narrow forest trails). I have two bicycle 2xLED lamps (from aliexpress) on my helmet, two SW-Motech Hawk motorcycle LED's fixed to handlebar and I changed the original headlight bulb to H4 LED from Aliexpress.
I raced at local "Nigh Vision" race last year and it was very good setup for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqJJZFZuziQ |
