Streetfighter headlights options
 
Hi

I'm looking for a tasty headlight set up, ideally with the headlights being one on top of another as opposed to side by side. Also would be interested in those little bikini fairings with inbuilt lights, similar to those on the KTM Duke:

Had a look on Pyramid's website and saw one similar to above on their project Hornet, just wondered whether anyone had used one and whether the fittings are universal?

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers
Jase

The Mantis? Search for "Mantis and SV" on Ebay, you'll see pics of one fitted to an SV- worth a wee email to the seller I think. Not cheap though. Great lights, the fairing's a wee bit plasticky and, well, ugly IMO but they'd tidy up lovely

You're right it aint cheap at £180 plus postage. Sheesh!!!

It's for a Triumph Speed4 by the way, so some of you Trumpet owners may be able to be of assistance?

Saying that, it's a hell of a sight cheaper than the standard Triumph Speed 4 set up. Could be a go-er.

A whole lot cheaper than getting an Acerbis Blitz then riding into a ditch the first time youy go out at night :)

If you're handy with the tools a 'busa headlight looks pretty good, or a GSXR K4-5 with a cut down nose cone if you can get some damaged bits from a breaker or ebay.
I hate those little Acerbis units with the crappy halogen downlighter bulbs in 'em. I think my SV has a brighter side light.

Don't like Busa headlights, but the GSXR ones can look ace...

Has anyone put one of those gixer headlights on a nekkid?

But still a hell of a lot cheaper than a Duke II headlight & fairing unit that will run you close to £400!

Having said that, I looked at the Mantis and decided that it didn't look right (doesn't stick out forward enough so side-on view looks like it has been squashed) so I went with a Duke II unit.

Found this lot whilst looking for some parts for a mate's Honda X-11. Don't know how they compare on price though :wink:
