Speed triple lights look silly enough on a speed triple, on an SV they just look ridiculous... If you like the Z thou light, then you could probably figure out how to fit one.

I think the easiest way to make the front ent of a naked sv look better is to get one of these.

I don't think it he wants to change the light because of the lack of illumination. He wants to change the light because he wants something better looking. Just the better looking ones don't illuminate as well. You can't put one of those HID units in any of the streetfighter type lights. At least none of the less expensive ones.

I've looked at the headlight on the GSR but noticed there would be serious modding to get it to fit.

Hayabusa or GSXR units are apparently used by a lot of Streetfighter`s.

Then go and get a Z1000 headlight. I think it's doable. Should look really wicked!
