They are 50mm... i'm **hoping** they'll fit the 51mm section on my 999 forks. If not... they'll be for sale.

We became their US importer and distributor last week, and we are presently looking forward to receiving a huge amount of their very cool looking product which should be here in about a week.

It should be on the website within the next 2-3 days (as time permits).

Stay tuned.

Keep us posted!

I wanna ditch my "U" bracket as well. Damned unsightly thing.

If you get rid of the U-bracket, how do you mount the gauges?

Bolt through the gauges and top triple same as before just without the bracket.

my top triple already has the bolt holes for the gauges drilled out and fitted with M6 bolts. pretty simple really.

IT's probably taking extra time due to the ash cloud still lurking over parts of Europe. Could still take a while.

Cool part & makes it easy to lower bucket, too! [thumbsup]

Had my Monster f 12 years now, the modding never ends.....  [evil] [roll] ;)

That's a solid point. Well, i hope it gets here eventually... Really like the part.

Wooooow....

Ok, that totally owns the Rizoma one...
My next mod, definitely.

I just saw the belt covers for the S2R1K... hope my wife won't miss $350!

Subscribed. I NEED those headlight brackets! I have fork clamps which I really like but my new Monsterparts shortie fairing comes with integrated headlight brackets and I don't like to leave them hanging in the air unused. Just being anal...

BellissiMoto, will you be getting those brackets also? Can you please update us when you do??

same here

No worries, I've got the web pages about 80% finished and will publish them in a day or so, but the parts won't be arriving until the end of the week.

Any word on price?

I hope to have all the items and their prices listed by later today, as I have to create the US retail and dealer pricing, but with the Euro low right now, I'll be giving you guys a very favorable discount off msrp quite soon.

Looks like I'll be ordering "CARTER COPERCHIO CINGHIA DISTRIBUZIONE" as well as that headlight bracket pretty soon.

Great.... More parts to spend money on!   ;D

Couldn't find anything on the headlight brackets mentioned in the OP. Are they not available through Bellissimoto yet?

Ohh man, 1 of the 4 items I didn't get around to finishing yesterday.

I'll get them uploaded and published today, on the miscellaneous billet parts page, and possibly on the triple clamps page as well so they will be easy to find.

Just refresh your browsers when you get there in a couple hours.

package arrived friday ;D

Headlight Brackets are on the site!

I dont suppose those belt covers work on the 696??

Those triple clamps are...  nice?  I really really need them.

Wellp. Headlight brackets FIT. Miraculously. They are definitely for 50mm forks, but i just bit the bullet and torqued them down onto my 51mm section on my 999 forks, and they stretched just fine. Bounce right back when loosened as well. The nice soft aluminum doesn't scratch the forks either. [thumbsup] Pics to come! Need to raise the headlight a wee bit... i set it up a bit TOO low... lol..

Corey, on Bellissimoto's page it says they'll fit 50-54 mm forks, so you're more than fine. And please post pics soon! I'm trying to figure out how they attach to the headlight brackets. Seems like my fairing (which replaced the brackets) has its mounting points way too inward to meet with the clamps.

I do see some extensions in this pic, so maybe that's how they attach to the healight bracket/fairing:

Also, I don't have the screws that would attach the headlight to the brackets/clamps. Does the clamps come with screws? If not, anyone knows where can I get them?

Hey corey, got any pics of the brackets yet?

But will they fit the 54mm section of my GSXR1000 forks???? 

the 50mm ones won't, but CNC in italy does sell a 54mm version ;) so you're in luck ;D


PICS to come soon, I promise. I'm washing the bike soon, and taking a bunch of pics to show off the fork swap and everything.

I just ordered the headlight bracket eliminators in titanium. It'll be awhile before i install them but i'll post up pics when i get them.

Hey Airborne,

I was wondering if that was a forum member who ordered those... and since it was, you will be getting 10% back via partial refund in just a moment as your forum member discount.  ;)

In the future though, just send me a quick message in the payment notes or via PM so I'll know to hook you up!

Thanks and I'll send you a tracking number as they ship out.

are there any pics out there of the before/after or install of the u-bracket replacement clamps (listed as "fork collars" on bellissimoto)?  i'm just trying to visualize how it works exactly to replace the u-bracket.  this can be used with stock triples, right?  i'm interested in getting rid of the U-bracket if it just costs $75, but not so much replacing the triples ($725)

there are two rings that clamp around each fork.
in each ring, there is a recess that you stick a small spacer (included) into, and then your stock headlight ears/tabs bolt into those. then you just bolt your headlight on as normal.

the only kink i hit was what to do about the part of the u-bracket that holds the brake lines in place. on a stock setup, might not be a huge deal. but with my newly added clipons, i have a lot of extra brake line, and was in need of the hold-downs. luckily i had an extra u-bracket, so i just hacked off everything above the bottom part that bolts over the brake lines, sanded & painted, and bingo.

as stated, pics to come...

thanks [bacon]


did you use them to lower the headlight? I'd imagine that'll work for it right? Pretty much the reason I ordered them.

yup. you can lower it clear down to the bottom triple clamp.
i had it bottomed out all the way down low... looked a bit silly that low... so i moved it up a bit.
be patient with the install, it's a bit of a PITA because the brackets are connected to each other in any way, so you'll have to measure and test fit stuff to get it all lined up properly... but the end result is well worth the patience.

Ordered the red ones from Bellissimoto! Pics as soon as they're installed  8)

I don't like the look of the brake lines flapping in the breeze.
