Default Where can i get this headlight?



Of course you can get the dual headlights from anywhere, but that has something about it. The screen looks immense and the lamps have like a little 'nose' under them.. any ideas? anybody?

Their just normal dominators with a screen and a custom gas mask over the lights...

That's a Buell Lightning. The lights and flyscreen look like stock Buell items but as above the lights appear to be wearing a gas mask.

The rim mounted disc and rear pulley look standard to me.

The gearing on these bikes is just different as they have belt drive. If you see belt drive kits for SVs the rear pulley looks pretty big

Have a chat to a Harley dealer if you want to know what new prices would be.

I was the same when I first saw the front disc on them. However the best bit about that bike is when its stood bouncing around on your driveway like a pneumatic drill.

My sons godfather had one when they first came out. Had one of those belts snap coming off the m62. You need to be a bit looney in the head to get on with one.

That bike looks very standard. Apart from the "gas mask" it looks like it's had the tail raised (there's a block inserted between the frame and the lower rail of the seat subframe that doesn't look stock), pillion pegs removed, tail tidy and mini-indicators. That's about it AFAICS.

Good looking bikes IMO.

LOL. I imagine if you rebuilt one without threadlock you could watch it dismantle itself in about 15 minutes at tickover.

Pretty much!!!.

Someone else I know had one too. He used to ride it down the road like it had been snorting coke on tickover.!

Between the pair of them, they had some right tales! Some of them not so nice. Like the old belt snapper and other failures
