Title: Head lamp mod ideas
Post by: cassig on Thursday, 06 August 2020, 10:47 PM
Hi Guys,

Im' quite bored by the look of the OE head lamp.

Has anyone retrofitted another headlamp on their bike? Im' not looking for another round lamp with LED nor the twin one, im thinking more of a streetfighter look.

Any pics, ideas, link are very welcome.

Thx in advance.

This was a dealer fit option in some places.

@KiwiCol What were they thinking  :facepalm: :facepalm: looks too much like a bandit.

@Beaker has a twin headlight set up  :imrgreen:

I'm considering the LED upgrade  :boogie:

Not my taste but hey everyone's different.  Imho the 7" round suits the 1402 perfectly.

Notty, you wonder why no one has them? Disgusting.

Muscle bike = round headlight.  It just is.

Everything should have round lights, any other shape looks wrong.

Stick with the headlight Mr Suzuki fitted at production. Most aftermarket units are nasty cheap Chinesium products. You'd get more light output from two tea lights in tin cans...And don't even get me started on the chrome twin Dominator units. The beam pattern is diabolical!

There's only one bike that should have two headlights.

Yes, but stick a decent led light in it. The std H4 (or H7?) globe is not much good imho.

Actually there's one bike that can get away with

- two headlights

- non-round headlights

- not being a Suzuki

That's a tambourine not a bike!

Besides, half the swing arm fell off before they delivered it, so would you trust it to sit on?
