I agree, which is why I'd swap it for dual chromes like I have done on my 650.

Now apart from that it looks wonderful particularly when you add the undertray and hack off the rear tea-tray. Renthals and a seat cowl would finish it off perfectly.

That's really interesting - almost like that! Not sure I like the Speed Triple lights so would think I'll keep with the smaller ones I've got on my 650 but I like the idea. Certainly with the belly pan and seat cowl it looks nicely finished. But would have to be black though .

They're not from a S***d T****e - they are 4 1/2" Bates as used for the headlight conversion on Bandit 1200's from Banditmania - I thought about the smaller ones - but, having ridden a Gixxer 1000 with them on & having been hardly able to see more than a couple of yards ahead of me, I decided these would better. They also give a better 'line' to the bike with the 'strange' angular clock
