Hi guys

Looking to change the front end appearance of my 02 curvy and came across http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Crystal-clear-twin-headlight-Suzuki-SV-650-1000-black-/130521823191?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item1e63b4f7d7

Done some reading on here (thanks rictus01 (http://forums.sv650.org/member.php?u=31) :D) and other forums and the Dominator lights that are for sale everywhere seem to follow the same trend of buy cheap, buy twice.

The ones above are more expensive and seem to look more solid.

Anyone have any experience with these?

Cheers

Rob

The light output will be exactly the same - crap

Do any decent dual ones exist?

There probably will be some but you dont know until you try them unfortunately. If you really want good light output then halogen projectors are your best bet. And you could mount two side by side for the dominator look

There was somebody selling the new style street triple lights on here recently. Dunno if they are still for sale

Me either. I actually priced the old striple round headlights before I got my projectors but it was crazy money.

Decent dual headlights? No, not if they can fit in the space of one light.

Remember this: A sizeable amount of aftermarket stuff for bikes is crap. 'Styling' parts doubly so.

Did some more searching and found

http://www.bikermart.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=223-365-6

Know they are a little narrow but I can find 4mm of space on each side without too much issue

Any feedback?

Rob


EDIT

These will be just as bad :(
