Alright, not so much an upgrade though. Better to HID the stock K3 headlamp.

Big and nub works well though lol. They're OK, but nothing amazing.

I have Dominators and whilst they improve the looks no end, they are fairly sh1te at night outside of streetlit areas.
Always looking for a really nice streetfighter twin set up ..........anyone seen any?

Nah, I replaced the standards with (I think!) Philips xtreme power. As I said, if you only do "urban" then the improvement in form more than outweighs function.

3" rubber marine exhaust hose split along the side worked for me to hide the wires until i took mine off because they were carp. They do look nice but the beam pattern is unbearable. Unless you are doing all your rideing under streetlights dont bother, with headlights it has to be function over form as you will find out.

Anyone fitted Busa headlight units?

Not fitted one, but have ridden a 'fighter with one fitted, stock bulbs and they work far better than most aftermarket units on the market!
