Latest pics of mine.

Post by hellraiser »

Changed the headlight twice in last few months.
Think i'm happy with it this time :paranoid: :rolleyes: :D

Started with twin spots.
This is after i flipped the clip-ons around for a straighter position.

Image

Fitted a single bates for a while, neatened the front up, but decided it's
a bit too ' a la custom' jobby for this bike.

Stuck this on the back wheel!
Just because i could! :D

Image

Bought a Simpson Predator headlight fairing aaaages ago.
Never fitted as one of the units was melted by the previous owner.
Looked at the twin spots i used to have fitted, and noticed the lenses
were a similar size as the simpson ones. :unibrow:

Out with the old units and in with the replacements. Recycling aye! :nod:

Image

Both fitted.

Image

Bought some ally flat, and shaped my own fork brackets.
After er.....some time fabbing these, and also cutting some rubber to fit inside the fork clamps. I was ready to fit. :D

A lot happier with how it looks now. :p
Can's been shortened a bit too!
gotta get the whole thing painted one day. :rolleyes:
Maybe jack up the rear a little.

Still gotta sort a couple of running issues though! :retard: :(

Cheers,
Steve

The twins make it look a bit like the Triumph Speed triple - not a bad thing really, but the front cowl makes it look lower and longer - and meaner as Stig said.

Think that's the best cowl I've seen on one of these bikes.

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

I personally prefer the single headlamp u had fitted. Its looks so much cooler.. Thats just my opinion and its what i have on my yzf fighter. I love the look :nod:

Its your bike though and u have to look at it every day so its up to you what u like :nod: ( and i know nowt anyway!) :lol:

Your bike is lookin good now though.. Good effort! :D
Spending all my money on toys and then trying to find the time to ride em all.. I need a BIGGER garage..

Cheers guy's!! :D

Glad it's liked! Pics might make the bike look tidier than it is.
but then i'll only abuse the thing anyway's! :evil:


I did really like the twins, but was major hassle changing bulbs.
Originally had H3's? fitted i reckon.
had to modify H4 bulbs (take apart and chem metal to a mounting plate :paranoid: )
so i could have twin high and low beams.
Was previous owners of the twin lights' idea. And they were a bit tatty.

The single looked great, but made the bike look a bit, big arse end biased.

So i reckon the bulkier headlight thats on now balances it out more.
:nod: And definately looks more aggressive!

Maybe a bellypan next, will see.
Jack up the rear slightly,............who's done the 5mm spacer on the shock mount before??

Tis quite good having a bike that most people you meet, havent got a clue as to what it is.
