LED headlight options for KTM?

So you race motocross, at night, with a headlight???

dont support anything from nicecnc. They rip off american made products and make them overseas. The problem is they dont do the R and D, just reverse engineer and steal from the people who put in the time! 

I raced a 24HR with the Acerbis VSL light. It's incredibly bright. Not the exact aesthetic as the Baja Designs, but I highly recommend it. 

Depends how much work you want to put in. There are a plethora of LED lights available, you just have to make your own mounting solution to work with a stock KTM headlight shell.

All Terrain Concepts (among many others) has lights that mimic the Baja Designs ones at around half the cost of the comparable stand alone BD Squadron or XL80 but you will have to wire it all yourself and make up a mount.

I've built multiple bike headlights using Rigid and ATC LEDs, and before that lots of HID conversions in OEM halogen housings.

If you want plug and play, Cyclops Adventure Sports has lower cost (than BD) LED light assemblies that bolt right into Austrian headlight shells or LED bulbs that work amazingly well in the stock headlight. All of Cyclops' stuff is race proven at the Starvation Ridge 24hr. Won't ever give up my Cyclops Solstice HID helmet light!

     Hey Pizza Cobra, I honestly don’t much care about headlights on off road bikes, but that damn bike is beautiful, EVEN WITH A HEADLIGHT !

Thanks, Old School! I'm with ya on the headlight, but it was a necessity it to race through the night. I still tried to preserve as much as a motocross/XC bike look as possible. I should have never sold this bike -- It handled as good as it looked #PourOneOut

I was never impressed with my Baja designs headlight tbh.

But, here is a good option that is way less cost the the Baja designs that I would try.

Acerbis

Just enough SC1 and bling on the enduro bike to make it moto ... ha ha. I think it looks great too, BTW!

So true. I also have the Acerbis one and it is a good cost effective option.

I said you can go cheaper but you need to make a mount setup yourself. You are obviously looking for plug and play fitment.

That's what you are paying for with BD or a setup from Motominded, Cyclops, etc...

I am a light whore, so besides the custom mounted stuff I do also run a Rigid Adapt XE when I'm night racing (24hr events) and the bike has enough stator to run it at full pop and an old school 8" round HID on my XR650R because it just looks right on that bike.

I make my own mounts out of chromoly to bolt the light solid to the triples (not on the plastic shell) and then fit the shell back over the top. I buy the OEM style harness connectors and make custom harnesses for the lights to work how I want and so I can swap any of my lights from bike to bike without changing anything.

A Rigid 4" E-Series light perfectly matches the stock opening in a Honda XR headlight shell.

This is an ATC 80w race light (Baja Designs XL80 copy) mounted with a Beta shell.

We bought ours from  motominded out of CO. Great to work with.

me too, Motominded, good dude, supports the industry too

Two thoughts.

I have the BD light on my 500xcf, it’s easy to mount and works well. It was sorta expensive.

In my experience, when I set out to “do it for less money” I usually end up spending about the same amount, spend a lot of time building my own contraption, and it may or may not work better than the buy once, cry once option. There’s something very satisfying about doing it my way, but the functionality vs money spent normally doesn’t justify the money saved.

I had an old Baja Designs Squadron light with a mask for a 2014 KTM. I called them up on the phone and was able to purchase a headlight mounting plate to fit my 2020 KTM. The newest  versions of the Baja Designs lights take the pounding of years in Baja without missing a beat.
