I took a punt on these:-H4 led bulb Hi/Low Beam Motorcycle Headlight 6000K High Power Tail Turn Lamp X2

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172266083429? ... EBIDX%3AIT

They seem really good, (thumbs) haven't tried the high beam as my red switch is broken, common fault with a sticking contact inside the switch, have a new one on order in a container off the coast of china :sick:

Well its not often you will use high beam anyway so no hurry.I find the white beam on LEDs seems more noticable than a yellowish filament.

I have seen these recommended as a cheap alternative too

Im pretty sure it will as its narrower than the mouting collar.There is a version with a fan on the top but some have posted issues of fitment on those. (thumbs)

The handguards are from:-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182137297782? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Check what size bracket you need, the wk takes fat bar 28mm, pulse i think needs the 22mm.

The spoilers are actually acerbis, quite rare and i took a chance they would fit, they did but needed a bit of hot air heat treatment to shape to the guards as they are non acerbis, i also used 3m double sided and black silicone sealent and one of the suggested fixings as i didnt want to drill for the second fixing, personal choice and will make sense if you buy them. The white writing is already on the guards but the other sticker is one i did also black tape accross the join on the front to keep the look clean, tape warmed during application to help adhesion

If it's any good these are the hand guards I have fitted and they fitted perfectly (although the clutch side protrudes slightly to allow movement). I also fitted the Barkbuster Led's to these as daytime lights.

I think the acerbis look a like i have and yours mac10biker are likely to be the same, mine was from a uk supplier hence the extra cost i guess. For the wk they will fit but needs some fettling to fit right and to feed my ocd......

For the WK, and to get a flush fit at the bar ends the expanding bolts need trimming due to a liner set a little way inside the bar, even with the expanding fixing trimmed you still get a solid fix and flush, however due to the long clutch lever you will need to trim the ball to stop it snagging, i did mine and shaped the end as shown with a little satin black to look factory.....the other point in my view is to get the 28mm clamps as the WK has fat bars which is another great feature of this bike. Now the tricky bit is you will need to trim the threaded block that joins the clamp to the guard by about 6mm so that the guard is pulled in enough to avoid banging the screen, you can adjust the steering stop bolts but not much as it will prevent the steering lock from engaging in its hole

The second picture is before the spoilers were fitted but shows nice fit at the bar ends.....later i also re routed the clutch cable over the guard and outside the brake cable for a smoother run

Have you guys got shares in eBay,,,lol
I would like to change the two levers as the clutch is to long and the brake is to short, the clutch even though I'm happy with how the brake works I may just change the master system as they are so cheap from China if it Breaks then it's easy replaced, I can the go with any colour scheme.
The front light is very poor anyway so changing it is best as it will not draw as much watts as the standard one

I've used this on my trr250 and much better than standard
