5.75 Inch LED Headlight
Installing the Flashpoint LED Headlight with integrated turn signals
People often overlook mounting the turn signals and indicators on the front of the bike until they get to the wiring. I added the Moto LED turn signals to the cable room. I used matching threads to attach them as mounting hardware for the Flashpoint LED headlight during its design.
Here, I'll walk you through the quick and easy way to use just one unit to handle all your front-end lighting needs. Not complicated wiring, not separate mounting brackets—just clean, easy, and most importantly, fast!
What you'll need:
- Purpose Built Moto Flashpoint LED headlight
- Purpose Built Moto LED indicators/turn signals
- 3mm Allen key
- 5mm Allen key (if bottom mounting)
- Thread locker
- Ruler or vernier calipers
- Hacksaw or Grinder
- Flat + Rat tail file
- Fitting the LED headlight
Get your mounting brackets ready (bottom mount or fork mount). Open the Flashpoint LED headlamp package. If your headlamp is 5.75", it's ready to mount. For a 5.55" headlamp, use a 3mm Allen key to take off the bezel and back part.
- Trim the LED indicator threaded tube.
You only need to take this step if you're not using locknuts to position the lights accurately. It only applies to the 5.75" Flashpoint LED headlamp.
Carefully remove the threaded tube from the light body, being cautious not to twist the cable when winding it out. After removing it, reduce the longer external thread to 13–14 mm as indicated. After you finish, deburr and reassemble the LED indicators.
- Fix the LED indicators / turn signals to the body.
The indicators will thread right in with enough area for the cord with the 7" LED headlight. Before installing the LED indicators, take off the back piece of the bezel. This is necessary because the 5.75" LED headlight fits tightly. Two methods exist for attaching the indicator's threaded tube to the headlamp body.
- Place the indicator properly by using the included nut as a lock nut.
- If the indicator is not in the right place, adjust it slightly. Then, use super glue or thread lock to secure it. Then, thread the indicator tube straight in.
This is where personal preference comes into play; your chosen finish determines your desire. I would instead use a thread lock to secure the light at the proper angle rather than a lock nut. The photographs depict this approach.
- Reassemble the 5 3/4 LED headlight.
Please note that this procedure only pertains to the 5.75" Flashpoint headlamp. Carefully route the cables and reassemble the light bezel. To prevent any screws from vibrating loose, uniformly tighten the countersunk screws on the light body and use a light thread lock.
- Mount that thing!
You can now attach and wire in your LED headlight and integrated indicator/turn signal assembly! Monitor your tightening torque and avoid applying more torque than 20 Nm on your M8 thread.
