This is the type of thing i was looking to fibreglass behind and use as a headlight or something along those lines.

sorry if im speaking aload of crap but if you dont ask you dont get. anyway thanx for reading it hope to get some replys.
if not no worries i understand i seem a bit dolalee:smt026
I wanted to change my headlight for ages, in the end I decided to put a buell firebolt front on the front but only just pretty much got it on before I decided to put the bike back to standard and sell it. I still have the fairing and lights if you're interested. Not quite crazy mask **** but still pretty cool.... :)

Lol, predator theme bike, I like it.

You can get projector type lights that are very small, you may want to alter the proportions to make it fit one in each 'eye'. I've seen a couple of quite cheap headlights that have headlights not much larger than those eyes, might be worth getting one of those for the lights.

You going to get the speedo to display in the predator language? ;-)

is that not the same as a faired pointy, the whole front section comes off in one piece.

I don't know about the pointy but I presumed it to be identical to the curvy in that the headlights are mounted to a solid frame and the fairing fits over the top, the fairing carries therefore no load. I take it then that the headlight fits to the plastics and the plastics then attach to some kind of subframe?

Re: Fabricating headlight holder/fairing.
 
i know what you mean about the fairing bein seperate to the headlights as i had a nc30 for my fist big bike and i had a play with everything on that, and the front nose cone was seperate to the headlights, so sould i try and find some headlights that are bolted to a bracket then make a headlight to go over the whole lot?

Re: Fabricating headlight holder/fairing.
 
Depends on which year and model you have plus what you fancy doing with it.

If you have an 99-02 (aka curvy) 'S' (Sport or half faired) then the lights are bolted to a subframe and do not move with the bars, the 'N' (Naked) version the headlight is attached to the handlebars and turns with it.

Pretty much the same for the 03 onwards (aka pointy) except it appears that the 'S' version has the headlights attached to the fairing.

Which bike do you have?
