headlight on my K5 GSXR is awesome, I've never wanted for more lighting power on any vehicle.

I fitted BUell Firebolt lights. From the frying pan to the fire. Don't go there mate. The curvy does look great with a firebolt fairing though IMO. Have to still sort the lights though, and the mirrors show your shoulders ever so nicely ...what was I thinking.

No really I've put this fairing on mainly because I like the look, lights and mirrors are crap. Will sort it out though.

a BIKE mag article once said that the pointy sv lights were one of the best.

They lied. They are OK, but I wouldnt class them anywhere near as good as the lights on my GSXR or Liz's Duke.

I was following one once at night and it went around a corner and it went pitch black coudlnt see a bloody thing, nearlly had to stop.

When they have a pillion on if the rider hasnt sorted the headlights they burn your retinas.
VFR-VTEC = 4xH7 bulbs with decent reflectors. They are good. Retinas are not burnt if pre-load adjusted to compensate for pillion. I love em.

+1 on the VFR800. You can see them coming from miles away too. They somehow manage to be highly visible, light the road very well and (provided they're angled correctly) not dazzle oncoming vehicles.
