TL1000R	Projector Headlight Swap

	Before & After

The TLR comes with a headlight and yes it works ok and probably was great back in 1998. But by today's standards it is very poor. So time for an update! I saw this headlight for sale at the Agro Cycles ebay store for $100 and I bought it. It arrived in the mail the very next day -big props to Argo for shipping it minutes after my order and it arriving nicely packed safe and sound. The headlight is from an 05 Triumph Sprint.

As it turns out this was a fairly easy upgrade to the bike. All 3 lights checked out OK and are very bright. Fitting everything to the bike was not hard at all. There are black spaces above the headlight but they look like air vents or intakes. I am very happy with the final product.

A good place to find salvaged parts like this headlight is at Argo Cycles or at their ebay store.

Bike wiring

Ground B/W (Black / white trace)
Low = B/G (Black with Green trace)
High = B/Y (Black with Yellow trace)

You need to "short" or run a wire inside the high/ low switch to make sure the low always stays on. This is the high beam mod. With the switch modified the two outer will be on for low and all three will be on for high. If you leave the switch as is the side lamps will be on for low and the center will be on for high.
