What have you done with the worthless third eye?
I'm sure this subject has been brought, but not lately. What have you done (and have pictures or video) of third eye modifications?

I found these:
Knight Rider mod

Custom Dynamics LED

It's like the dangling carrot trick. I get on the bike and chase it.

I made it disappear. Custom screen and modified fairing, and no more light.

I just put a superbright white led in it; maybe it helps the cagers see me a bit better, but at least it's not dingy yellow

Do you have a part number that you used? Where did you get it?

swordfish is an unknown quantity at this point
if you get the street legal sharkskinz front fairing, you need to kiss your third eye goodbye, cause there ain't no hole for it.

The mirrors are a custom job I did myself because I could not buy what I wanted. Getting mirrors for the VTR is not easy, so I gave up and made these out of a combination of Honda and aftermarket bits.

Not an easy job though.

Well if your serious about buying it, I emailed them cause i thought that would look tight on my flat black hawk. They said that I was the 4th person to ask about it. However they want someone to take pictures of it without the lens cover so they could get a better idea of what they need to do to adapt it to the hawk instead of RR's

I was one of the four that asked and they ask the same picture of me. They said that the Knight Rider light will fit, but they need a picture of the inside of your third eye housing to know what is needed to make one for your bike. Similar to this...



And this...

Is this a direct replacement, just pop out the bulb and plug in the LED? Also, is that the same bulb as the tail lights?

I think it looks pretty cool but seems like a lot of money for a couple of led's and a switch. I am sure that this setup could be made for a lot less money.
