Need help finding a light for my SV

[badkitty]

OK...so I bought this belly pan from a British vendor last summer, and had to wait for it to be molded by some French manufacturer cuz they were on Holiday. So anyways....finally got it installed last week. BUT as I was flying around in Rochester last Sunday, one of the lights flew out..not the bulb...the whole assembly fell out!!

So I e-mailed the company I bought it from and they have not responded (lousy customer service was also a problem when I bought the pan in the first place.)

The company I bought it from is called Rhencullen. It is a Roca Belly pan #657 with twin halogen lights...

Any suggestions of where to get a new one or what else I can use?

Most bike shops will have halogen turn signals and driving lights in two or three sizes. Harley shops always have them, but DragSpecialties and/or Parts Unlimited catalogs in most any bike shop will have them listed too.

Some are rather expensive billet, there are less expensive that still look good. There are clear, amber and red lenses for most of them. I suggest a bit of safety wire so you don't lose another.

Despite the problem with the light failing, that's a pretty kick ass looking belly pan! How well do those lights help light the road at night? I'm somewhat fixated on lighting projects, and I've been wanting a belly pan, and if I could get integrated projector beams in a belly pan, I'd be pretty stoked. How much did you shell out for this thing? How big are the lights and what are the wattages?

The lights are Halogen and about 2 1/2" round. Not sure on wattage, but it was installed by a friend using standard automotive fuse stuff. I hooked it up to an independant power switch directly into the main fuse box, so I can have them on independant of headlights or power on/off. They can be pointed anywhere, and light up the side of the road perfectly!! HIGE difference. Looks sweet with my HID's too! I LOOOOVE them. Belly pan was made by a French manufacturer called Roca. I bought the whole kit online at www.rhencullen.com which is a British company. It was like $400 for the whole thing. They will paint to match your SV. Good luck! And if you manage to make contact with them, order me some extra lights! Their customer service SUCKS and they have not answered my plea for parts. It took forever to get the pan shipped, but that is more a factor of French manufacturers being on "holiday" for the most part of July & August.

Cool, they have lots of pretty cool stuff.

I noticed you said you have the Roca Belly Pan #657, and the only one I saw on their site is the #656. The 656 doesn't appear to have the lights integrated, as yours has, and they look totally different. :(

The only one they have with lights is the JMV, which I don't care for as much.

Oh, wait, duh... you have a first gen... and your pan is listed on that page:

Also found this page, seems to be the same deal, just out of Cali

Also found a thread on SVRider about fork-mounted driving lights... which is probably the way I'll go anyway. I just can't justify $400 for a belly pan, even if it does have wicked cool lights integrated into it.
