Templar X 250

Has anyone had any luck upgrading the headlight bulb without changing the stock headlight housing? I love the look but the headlight sucks

Watching the M Video I really wish the TemplarX had the bottom metal bracket attaching the headlight assembly. The X came with rubber straps that hold the light to low limiting adjustments. Going to manufacturer something copying the Ms mount. Ive not looked at the bulb but I'm interested in a upgrade as well.

The headlight on my base Templar is great. The headlight on my X sucks but I want to keep the original look of the X and just get brighter bulbs. I wonder if I can do an led conversion

The space behind the cowling on the X is really tight, and the soft black plastic pouch for wiring in there isn't really big enough to handle all of the connectors. This Winter, I am going to do a lot of rearranging and get it buttoned up better. That will be a good time to look at headlight upgrades too.

There are so many biting insects and nasty poison ivy/oak, thorny stuff out there now! I am staying away to heal up! And it is just too hot for a helmet these days!

I made some brackets to extend the headlight housing further forward, gives more room for the wiring behind it, and allows better aiming of the head light

Do you have any pictures of the brackets you fabricated?

Attached a pic of what I made out of some 14 Gauge Stainless Steel.
