I use a bandit(I'll go and hide now..) headlight, as it has the clear lens and a cluster where you can hide all the wiring inside, sorry about the not so clear pics

Er well after many hours fettling I have a complete 916 front fairing with lights mounted upon the Monster, The Complete assembly can be removed easily as I have manufactured a mounting for the 916 lighting that just can unclamped and everthing back to standard if required. No modifications to Frame, wiring or instruments required.
Sorry I havent got any Pics available at this time to post, Pomp1 may have a pic of my bike from the Sunny Southend Meet last year?
I may remove this 916 lighting and fairing soon If anyones interested in it?
Cheers:biggrin: Hugh

Skank - Are those Ducati Duals or something else? In fact they look like Triumph lights?

Ok so its not the finished job but here's the thread I started years ago about making the headlight I use at the moment. It's a darth vader, K9 mix with twin stacked projector.
Enjoy,

Skank, I'm not planning on fitting my old light again (and it doesn't quite fit in the back of the wardrobe...) if you'd be interested? Not looking for a new one though. Got the dark screen with it too but it's got a bit of a scuff down the right side of the fairing...

I saw something similar on Hornet and it looked quite good. IMO loose the fairing it looks much better.
