Projector Setup for Motorcycles
Print This Post
The touring breed is probably the fastest growing community among biking enthusiasts in the country. However, the singlemost pain point what our tourers face is the lack of vision-able light on the road especially during nights on our havocking highways. Apart from the projectors of Pulsar 220, no other (stock) bike in India could well be called as ride-able on Indian roads during night. So if you are the same breed of people (or crave to become one) but stuck with this issue we bring a resolution for you. Read on..

We have received an article from Rajthilak (rajthilakk@gmail.com), an avid biking enthusiast and a regular BikeAdvice follower from Chennai who installs Projector setups on bikes for an enhanced vision. We have attached a few of his artworks along with this article. Look at the pictures; don’t they speak for themselves. Here he has talked about the Yamaha FZ series of bikes and need we say they look gorgeous! Added to the looks, this entire set up can be yours for an all inclusive price of lesser than 3k INR. Impressed? We are..!
However a few things which must be taken note of before proceeding for this kind of a mod. Your stock reflectors cannot be re-used after this mod as they would be masked (or painted black) to fit the projectors. So, if you want to revert back to stocks bulbs, you would need to buy a new reflector all together.

To convert your stock set up, Rajthilak would use H7 bulbs in place of the regular H4s on your bikes. While this would mean a much stronger (and much brighter) throw of light on the road but it would keep you devoid of the high beam on your bike as H7 comes with only a single beam.
In addition Rajthilak doesn’t provide any guarantee for the angel eye rings; however, you always have the option of changing your bulbs in case they fuse out. HIDs can also be used in place. Rajthilak also provides the provision of fancy designs like the flowing waves or sundry designs seen on the super sexy Audi’s and BMWs.
Rajthilak charges Rs 2200 to 2800 depending upon the size and the complexity involved in the whole job on your bike. The best part is that if you want double projectors, even that can be worked out, obviously if your bike provides a provision for it and at extra charges.
After reading the whole article and watching the pics if you have made up your mind for the mod, all you need to do is get Rajthilak your headlight assembly. This can be done either by you couriering it to him at his place (in Chennai) or if you want he can buy the headlamps for you from the service centers and work on them. Once the job is complete, he would courier the whole setup to your place so that you can get it installed by any person near your vicinity and here you have a bike with improved looks and more importantly, enhanced functionality.

Apart from giving a good visibility during riding, the setup is definitely a head turner!
BikeBhp.com on January 14, 2010 at 7:09 pm
The legality behind the use of H7 bulbs on road is a concerned for many states across the country, this has to be taken into consideration prior going for the installation.
fas on January 14, 2010 at 8:19 pm
Looks + practicality, where do you get that often?
Prateek (Jaipur) on January 14, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Man the mod looks awesome plus it would give a good visibility as well.But wat about the commuters from the opposite side???would the high intensity light blind them out????Chennai, Hyderabad, Banglore guys really do have good folks to modify there bikes really missing good mechanics here in Jaipur
subu on January 15, 2010 at 10:33 am
any idea if this is leagle in Karnataka..? I do see a lot of bikes/cars with HID bulbs IN Bangalore..
shibin on January 15, 2010 at 1:25 pm
damn…the mod looks S.E.X.Y…luv it…is there a possibility to show the orginal fz healight so its easy to compare….or the moded r15 headlight????
Wasif on January 15, 2010 at 11:48 pm
PPLz who want a mod like this will need this links. These links are really useful…

I think this mod is much easier on Yamaha Fazer or Yamaha R15.
Wasif on January 15, 2010 at 11:55 pm
Projectors are also available on H4. Which can be used for both high and low beams. Because they have three wires not two like H7. And H4 is legal i guess.
Rajthilak K on January 19, 2010 at 8:50 am
Hi all,
Thanks for your comments and replies.
H7 should be legal AFAIK since its being already used in Pulsar 220. And we do not get H4 projectors in India for the cost that I’ve mentioned, so its easy to go with the projectors available in the market. And if you have any more details please contact me in my personal ID and i shall answer them asap.
Thanks!
Satyajeet on January 19, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Is it available for Apache RTR 180
Rajthilak K on January 20, 2010 at 8:30 am
Hi,
Thanks all for your comments. Let me try and answer all the questions as much as possible.
As far as i know H7 is legal since its being already used in P220. The whole concept of Projector is to give more visibility and it will definitely not blind the opposite side drivers (unless its unfocussed). H4 or bi xenon projectors are costly and not easily available in Indian markets, so its better to use H7 projectors which are available and also there is no need for high beam when H7 projectors are used since they will be powerful enough to cover the road even in highways.
Manjunath on January 20, 2010 at 12:39 pm
is this modification possible for Enfield ? Any pointers to a mechanic who does this pl?
varun on January 21, 2010 at 8:23 am
hey! the projector is really awsme !can this be installd in a honda cbf stunner!!!WAITNG EAGERLY FOR UR REPLY!!
sai on January 21, 2010 at 11:41 am
are there any xenon or HID projectors in india? i wanted to do like the way the it was done in the link provided by wasif for his fz6. i wanted to do this for my r15. plzz tell me if HID projectors are available n their price
Rajthilak on January 21, 2010 at 11:51 am
Hi Manju.. It is difficult to setup on an Enfield but there was another friend who asked for RE thunderbird so we are meeting this weekend and if we get to finalize on something we shall implement on yours as well.
Hi Varun… We can try on your stunner, that shouldnt be a problem, but if we can try some twin setup as in P220 it would be really good, please mail me on my personal ID (rajthilakk@gmail.com) for us to work with the design.
Rajthilak on January 21, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Hi Sai,
Im not sure of the xenon projectors which has inbuilt angel rings and HID but you can make them seperately and assemble as i do. Again difficult to get bi xenon projectors as well.IF you need those kind of projectors i guess you can buy online and get them shipped to India, which will be costly… if you get them imported i can get them installed for you.
varun on January 21, 2010 at 5:19 pm
thanks for the reply! can u tell me the approximate cost of the projector’s installation!!!
sai on January 21, 2010 at 6:38 pm

sai on January 21, 2010 at 6:42 pm

govind on January 22, 2010 at 4:38 am
bro..is it possible to fit twin setup(as 220) on pulsar 200? how much will be the charge for twin setup and HID? and will it affect the battery? pls give me your contact no. if u dont mind..
Rajthilak on January 22, 2010 at 9:55 am
Hi Govind,
Yeah we can give it a try. Please call me on 09940327885 and we can discuss further.
Pravin on February 11, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Can i have a projector for my Pulsar 180 UG4 ???
Rajthilak on February 13, 2010 at 6:43 am
Hi Pravin,
We can do a projector setup for Pulsar no issues. Please call me for details, my number is available in the previous comment. Also mail me for the pictures of the projector output.
charles on February 14, 2010 at 7:51 am
is this projector ring possible to b insta;led in pulsar 220……plz reply
Rajthilak on February 15, 2010 at 9:56 am
Hi,
I dont think its possible to fit the ring in P220 because there isnt much space to accomodate the ring. I mean the distance between the front glass/lens and the projector is very close. Since this gap is very less I cannot even think of some other design
Nazeer on February 17, 2010 at 9:51 am
Hi Rajthilak
The set up is great but can you tell about the durability and warranty on this
Rajthilak on February 17, 2010 at 10:15 am
Hi Nazeer,
As ive mentioned in my earlier comments, there is no warranty on the angel eye rings as they are purely dependent on the usage. As far as the projector setup goes, the setup will be strong and can withstand normal riding conditions, there are no complex things to get tampered as its just a hard metal object. Also there will no complaints of even HID buring it off because its metal so the reflection and performance will be steady always. Since the setup is fit in a safe place there will be no use for even maintenance just cleaning the outer surface of the headlight should be more than enough. Also as mentioned earlier the projector will not get damaged and the bulbs can be replaced with ease if they fuse out. Anymore question, please feel free to mail me
Madhur on March 5, 2010 at 1:21 am
Hi rajthilak
i want to know can you make setup for r15?and what will be the cost?and ya you are using h7 that is normally used as fog lamps.it spreads more but no longer in distance correct me if m wrong.
Madhur on March 5, 2010 at 1:28 am
Are you able to get only projectors.if yes then i can give h4 type xenons bulbs which can be used as bi-xenons only by adding solenoid.if we can adjust thin metal sheet than it would be just become like what premium cars have.thanx plz do reply.
Rajthilak K on March 5, 2010 at 9:40 am
Hi Madhur,
H7 bulbs are used for low beam in many hi end cars and AFAIK H1 and 9006 type bulbs are usually used in fogs. H7 can cover a long distance i can share pics of the output of H7. I just recently did one R15 and can share the pics as well. The cost would be a little more because i will not be able to use the normal projectors for R15 simply because of its size, its very small compared to others so smaller the size costlier the porjectors would be. So this will cost around 5K.
You are right that a solenoid would make the single beam projector into dual beam but how do we go about fitting the solenoid??? I have also browsed and got this info but not really sure how can we go about this, this isnt that simple as it sounds. Can you please share your mobile number so that we can discuss on this? Or pls gimme a call to my mob number shared already in this topic.
Thanks,
Rajthilak. K
Rajthilak K on March 5, 2010 at 9:42 am
Madhur also to add… if we have dual beam projector we will not need bi xenon bulbs hope you get my point.
Madhur on March 5, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Ya i am getting it right.and thanx a ton for correcting me and other info.as i m in 12th my exams starts from tomorrow but after completing that i will sure contact u.and can u share pics on-madhurrock@gmail.com.
Madhur on March 5, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Sorry its only madhurrock@gmail.com
Madhur on March 5, 2010 at 4:35 pm
And the point as ive seen most r15 with AE and HID use two different types.as per my knowledge they throw more glares on others coming from front.and is cost including hids?
Madhur on March 5, 2010 at 4:48 pm
And ya which color temprature u use.(kelvins-K)
Pravin on March 5, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Share Pictures with me too xp.pravin@gmail.com
Pravin on March 6, 2010 at 7:15 pm
Its 5 k for a single projector or two ???
Rajthilak on March 9, 2010 at 8:53 am
Hi Pravin,
It is for twin setup.
Manu on March 14, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Hi,
I am having Yamaha Fazer. But still just able to have both lights working (Low and High). But I am not satisfied with them at all as I want some real nice projectors for both lamps to glow and that too as LOW-HIGH combi.
All the HID tech know-how I came to learn from other sites still not favoring my queries that would that be possible that both the HID projector works at same time and that too with LOW and HIGH beam??If so, what would be the inst. charges for HID and projectors? Which all projectors would be used in case of providing LOW HIGH combo.
Your reply is eagerly awaited.
Thanx in advance.
