No, but I like it!

Yes I think they look pretty good and kind of give the bike a little more modern look but I am not sure of the quality (check if the back is metal or plastic) and I have heard that some are not quite the direct fit that many claim and require spacers to pack out between the brackets.

I like the look of it, my only concern would be clearance for the speedo drive. I've seen aftermarket headlights that bend/put pressure on the speedo drive causing it to shear.

Looks very much like the light I have on my TTR, it works but the light pattern is nowhere near as precise.
Suck it and see I'd think

Oh BTW the TTR is for sale, see elsewhere here... £850

Is the beam spread UK or Euro? I can see a DOT mark but no sign of an E marking on it. It may not be good for an MOT.

Looking at the lens i'd guess centre dip, rather than left or right.
I think most bikes post '08-ish are like that?
Saves hassle for owners and costs for manufacturers.

this one is what i have on my M750 ,now over 2 years , its very good quality and from UK so no import duty or post office handling fee so its not much more money and looks better ,
super beam , when i put in a phillips xtreme bulb ,, looks fantastic on the bike ,

it does not foul the speedo cable it fits perfectly ,i did make up a new lead using a female weather proof connector exactly to fit existing one on the bike it cost bout £10 off ebay and a rubber boot for the hole

[SpeakForYou]

How easy is it to do the cable and where would i get the parts?

[Darren69]

Have you tried Motorworks (The BMW people)? Its the same headlight as the K75/K100 and other Beemers.

[Drumnagorrach]

Motorworks,have used headlight reflectors and lenses ,even cheaper. I have one in the shed for when the clear plastic one takes a stone,as it will.
