Latest pics of mine.
Changed the headlight twice in last few months.
Think i'm happy with it this time
Started with twin spots.
This is after i flipped the clip-ons around for a straighter position.
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!
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.
Out with the old units and in with the replacements. Recycling aye!
Both fitted.
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.
A lot happier with how it looks now.
Can's been shortened a bit too!
gotta get the whole thing painted one day.
Maybe jack up the rear a little.
Still gotta sort a couple of running issues though!
Cheers,
Steve

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
Its your bike though and u have to look at it every day so its up to you what u like ( and i know nowt anyway!)
Your bike is lookin good now though.. Good effort!

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