Title: Re: fitting triumph speed triple head light Post by: junior varsity on November 30, 2009, 08:17:06 AM The triumph headlight doesn't mount to the forks, but rather to the headstock, so you'll have to get creative.

without trying to badmouth the triumph, the headlights look cheap and crappy.

[evil] Title: Re: fitting triumph speed triple head light Post by: junior varsity on December 05, 2009, 05:39:57 PM you are beyond correct. the headlight too (though I just had the bracket powdercoated [roll]). once its all buttoned back together from my tinkering this early winter, i'll start looking into motogadgets and the like.
I have got to make sure whatever route I go, I get an analog tach (don't care as much about analog speedo). The roundness of the monster tank and headlight make me desire the roundness of the tach with needle. And I really like the all black motogadget in the black anodized housing. My other thought was to just make a more streamlined housing out of carbon. This one is the DP cluster with carbon front, but hideous plastic back. This must have been before they realized that if they made more of it out of carbon, they could charge more. Title: Re: fitting triumph speed triple head light Post by: junior varsity on December 05, 2009, 05:41:09 PM Oh, and that's not all that accurate of a picture, I suppose I ought to reshoot it now that all that unplugged dangly wires are plugged in and tucked away, and the headlight is back to being an HID.
Title: Re: fitting triumph speed triple head light Post by: loneknight66 on December 05, 2009, 08:38:13 PM I've seen the Monster with different head lights....Kawasaki-Like, Triump-like, Ghezzi Brian-like etc but it seems that the original shape is the one that suits better with all the rest ( in particular with the Frame and the Tank).....look at what "Barracuda" is trying to sell....no way!!!

Couldn't agree with you more [thumbsup] If theres one thing that would put you off buying a speed or street triple its those bloody awful headlights :'( [moto] Title: Re: fitting triumph speed triple head light Post by: Duck-Stew on December 06, 2009, 04:20:10 PM Nevermind ANY of the negative comments or thread-jacking...
If you like the SpeedTriple headlights, find a way to fit 'em up. Since they do fit up to the headstock and the Monster doesn't have a bracket welded on there, you may be able to make a bracket and just use a hose clamp to attach it to the frame and make it work (or two clamps...)

Title: Re: fitting triumph speed triple head light Post by: Duck-Stew on December 06, 2009, 05:24:02 PM They make them in Titanium I think...
