Default Curvey headlights

I was wondering if there are any random headlight modifications for a semi faired k1 curvey? i wud at least want to change the semi-clear headlight lenses to either properly clear smooth ones or tinted ones that cud still be legal, i have no idea about any of this or the legality but i wud like clear, seethrough lenses over the lights like a pointy rather than the semi smoked ones that are stock with the random bubly lines of plastic across them!!

I simply have no idea if these parts even exist or where to go to get them!!!

HEELLLPPPP

You can get lens covers, but the lights are naff. Why make them worse?

The only thing you can do as far as I'm aware, apart from lens covers/protectors is to obtain a light set of an import. They often have a projector light on one side with a clear lens.

Yup but they use different sub loom and different bulbs. Beam pattern is wrong for UK roads.

Never had any problems with the MOT on my old Sv that had those fitted.

I'm only speaking from experience of one set which I ended up with through an eBay f###up. They were unsuitable for use over here. Your results may vary
