Morning Graham

I have twin headlights on my 97 M750, they were on it when I had it.

I think they are called Dominators or something similar and are available in black or chrome from M+Ps.

They are a perfect fit into the original headlight bracket on my bike but probably not on yours.

Possibly a bit old fashioned for a modern Monster.

Thinking of changing to something like this when I have time to make a new headlight bracket.

Each to their own, but personally I think the std light suits a monster best.
If I were to change my old style one, I'd probably fit the one from the later monsters.
Or a slightly smaller aftermarket round unit.

There is also the "Hesa" stacked twin headlight like Yorkie has.

Or a single 'bug eye'.....

Glad you posted that, Flip.
One of the neatest, std..ish looking headlight mods I've seen on a monster.
Was tempted to copy it myself in a carbon, race cowl.

I think Max fitted a similar projector style unit to his faired mongrel (no offence intended).
And I think the unit itself came from a car ...maybe a Renault.
Dunno how effective it is though.

Cheers Jeff, very nice of you to say so!!!

Yep, it is a carbon ex-Challenge fairing with a 50mm hole cut in it off set to the right for the light and then the two cut-outs for the standard indicators as per the original fairing(thank you Dremmel for making it so easy). I then had it painted to match the seat cowl but leaving an edge of carbon visible where the screen fits.

I used a generic projector light (the dip one with the beam pattern plate inside and side light bulb) which is the same design as those used on 749/999 models and made a bracket that fits onto the standard headlight mount meaning it can be swapped back to standard in about ten minutes.

I have to admit it is not the best arrangement when travelling on unlit roads as with no main beam it somewhat restricts a safe speed to see by. But round town and day time it definitely gets noticed and as I say, such a quick swap no real bother to do if I know I will need a better light.

Really like the look, the more I see race plates on the rear the more I want some

I will be selling this and going back to a small round headlight.

It's a 600, but even if it wasn't I'd remove the cooler. I don't like the look.

I have a pair of the twin side by side (Dominator) lights, in chrome. I bought them before deciding I didn't like them. If you fancy them, let me know.

I have a brand new never used black pair of side by side headlights on gumtree ad id 1095204532, hope this helps
