So I saw this Gas mask headlight MOD online somewhere and decided I had to do it myself:

So I bought all the stuff that I needed and threw it all together.
This is what it looked like half way through the project:

Then I threw on my Tippman Paintball mask and decided to go that route:

Let me know what you think!

That looks neat, but how functional is it now?

That's awesome! Good job.
One thing I like about the gas mask from those pics is that it has a clear separation between left/right headlight. You can tell "There's one eye, and there's the other eye".

what set up did you use for your projectors, and how did you mount them?

looks cool, different but cool

It is currently fully functional. Light output is much brighter, the slim ballasts fit well underneath the gas tank, and the blue angel eye CCFLs work. Just need to buy some new turn signals and I'll be set.

I took two of these HID Projectors bolted them together, and made my own mounts using an L bracket, a vice, and a dremel. Mounted these to where the turn signals were using a wide washer and a bolt. Zero modifications to the bike frame and I only had to cut one wire (front parking light) for the CCFL Angel eyes. If there is enough interest I will provide pictures of the entire process and a write up of the install.

Awesome! Very creative.

I very much like this. What color are the HIDs, as that looks to be exactly what I am looking for. Are they 6K, 8K or 10K?

That is pretty trippy. Very creative.

I think it looks much better with the paintball mask over it than it did bare. It looks cool in the daytime but awesome at night.

Very cool. Good choice on the paintball mask. It matches your bike better then the gas mask.

Awesome idea. But a tippman mask is just too cheapo for that nice bike.. I say get some Dye I4s or a pair of Grillz

Glad I asked. I was about to grab some 6K but since yours are 8K I will end up grabbing them instead, your color looks perfect to me!

deff would be a nice upgrade from the tippman but the my money is going to:

1: Bar end mirrors
2: 5050 LEDs
3: New clutch + Brake levers
4: decatted pipe

I finished my headlight mod write up if anyone was interested.

Where did you get the gas mask if one wanted to go that route?

 

[kicsibors]

The one that I have is a S10 GAS MASK BRITISH SIZE 1. I got it off of eBay but you can find them in army surplus stores. This particular one will be hard to find in a store in the US but they will have many other types. The price I got mine for $78 shipped from the UK which is a good price compared to the other listings that I've seen. Sellers name is "markhig27" but it doesn't look like he has any active listings right now.
