Yeah they look cool although Im looking to keep the non-sporty look and have them horizontal rather than vertical

Personally my thing aswell. As far as I know, there are three types:

1. Road Racing alien fairing,

2. Simpson(?) stacked headlight - they may have more than one design and are quite reasonably priced (as I recall)

3. The one I have on my bike. I don't know who makes it but I believe it's a french company - it was sourced and painted by Chris Clarkes who are no more.

I think it is the based on (or exactly the same) as fitted to KTM bikes so you may be able to buy a KTM fairing(or simliar) and fabricate some brackets. I also recall that it has the same projector lights as used on the 996. Very simple to fit aswell.

I am sure there are others that others will point you in the direction of.

Hope this helps

best regards

Georgio's twins are made by DPM in italy. Bit expensive though, try asking Stu at Spareshack to give you a quote. There are others like the DPM bug-eye lamps & Chrome twin "bates style" streetfighter lamps.

What about a CCM R30 headlight & fairing?
Probably available quite cheap at the mo!

Oh, I dunno, looks better than a lot of after market jobs!
Plus they'll be decent headlights.

Hi Sammye

I just got these delivered from Germany (picture is a Kwak unfortunately), now trying to figure out how to fit them to my Monster. They say universal fitment, but my Speedo cable and U-tube dashboard mounting says otherwise.
Hmmm....

Kylies sexy bodywork is all Dave's own handy work, and the lamps are a set of Simpson twins :cool:
