Some headlight ideas where getting tossed around before the Grom/ruckus meet in Orlando yesterday and my dude at sportbikelites.com wanted to try and hook something up real quick.

Keep in mind this was thought of and made in pretty much a days time before the meet so this isn't final. More to come from these guys and keep on the lookout as he will have some options here soon with the light bar setups.

I know as of now he plans on doing a dual setup and a dual setup with the light up Grom mixed in with it.

Interesting no doubt. I don't know about the light bar TBH but I think a dual set up could be cool using something like this...

keep us posted floppy

I think it might look better with the double light bar. The single does look good but I think that if you do that you'd have to make some changes to the rest of the bike to make the whole thing cohesive. Does the light bar work better as a headlight? Or is it more for looks?

the plan is to have a double setup on it to light up the streets as much as possible. the view from the single is amazing and far better than the stock light. i also love that its real easy to adjust down or up for different options of riding.

working on uploading a short video now of riding around downtown, ill have a video up soonish with it on a dark street to get a better idea.

Looking forward to that, lightbar headlight setup looks crazy.

It's just not the look i'd go for. If i can, i'd try to go with a cafe racer look in the front and retro fit a projector or LED's in it.

Not quite my style, I've always liked a circular or more formed headlight shape over a direct square / rectangular shape.

I think that looks really cool. I always wanted to swap out the headlight but I never wanted to with any of the options I could find . This is a really cool set-up though. I'm trying to think of other things I could do with the Grom to match the style of the light bar headlight set-up.

It's a great option. Some might dislike it because it makes the Grom look like some type of transformers bike.

I wonder if its possible to retrofit something like this into the stock headlight

run it on a custom driver to get 3amps / 10 watts per emitter.

5000 lumens :O

you should check out the LED lightbar headlight Composimo has on his Grom. It looks pretty sick!! Im thinking they might be for sale in the future but sometimes he holds back and doesn't market to keep some unique things for himself!!

I have seen his and love his, pretty sure it's not available to everyone as of now. Ridged makes some good stuff as I rock a ridged light bar on my supermoto.

I could see this looking better if it was a double light bar instead of just the single. It would be a bit more proportionate to the rest of the bike. Would that be hard to do?

We will find out tomorrow as the other light bars coming in.
