I like the headlights and the black curvy frame on the 'bike that has been posted too many fricken times'. But the frame doesnt come in black, and i imagine it would be a lot of hassle to spray it.

that does look mint but thats because its got usd forks, single sing arm, mat paint etc etc the headlights just set it off not make it.

Best bet is OEMs from something. A lot of the aftermarket headlight units are naff and just meant for looks.

A 'busa or 05 ish GSXR light unit would be nice, you can often find them cheap with broken lugs.

just so you know.

Cheers Mark.
Mine were fine with 55w H4s in. I don't see why nightbreakers etc. of similar wattage would cause damage since the better bulbs seem to put out less heat than the cheaper ones and also have better UV shielding.

They were still $hite though...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Headlight-fair...1%7C240%3A1318thats the iteam. they have another one for sale that looks abit different.

and just to clear up everything.

Mounting plates... bit of ally and a nice bit of polishing.
inbuilt indies are just bulbs, clear lenses orange bulbs.
light - came with 25w duel filliment (awful things kept blowing aswell )
fitted 55w philips blue ones,bit of soldering to fit new connectors required, forgoten the name, all i needed was a washer to hold the bulb central ( drilled it out to fit the bulb ) and so the standard fitting that holds the bulb in place still works and they dont touch the plactic and melt it thankfully.
one last thing.... h3's only for this as they fit right on the focus point h1s were to long.



any questions ??
