I CHECKED OUT MOTOLIGHT, THANKS TO THE SUGGESTIONS OF WALTMAN AND KONRAD, and this is the response I got back. Govern yourselves accordingly.
MY INQUIRY:
Chris, a number of people on the Hayabusa site (hayabusa.org) have recommended your product to me.
None have installed on a Hayabusa yet, but they know about you from their experience on other bikes.
I am after illumination for my Hayabusa, not conspicuity.
Can you tell me the candlepower of one of your units? Single unit candlepower...not combined.
Also do you have any experience with Hayabusa installations...does my bike present any special problems for your product?
Thank you,
Peter

MOTOLIGHT'S RESPONSE
Peter,
I have examined the side profile photo of the Hayabusa at Suzuki's site (http://www.suzukicycles.com/sr-20/sportstreet/bp_gsx1300.htm). There does not appear to be any way my system can be mounted on the Hayabusa due to the combination of its inverted fork and all enveloping body
work. My system mounts to the fork sliders but in the case of heavily faired bikes it has often been necessary to create a slot that lets the mounting post pass through to the slider. Obviously in the case of the
Hayabusa the slider is up inside the main box fairing which would virtually preclude installation. You may want to look into PIAA
automotive lights for some sort of installation beneath the headlight
somewhere inside the box fairing. I wouldn't say it is impossible (nothing is with enough time, talent and money) but I think it could be challenging at the least.
Thanks,
Chris
