Title: Re: Headlight mods? Post by: seanster on November 27, 2012, 11:57:14 AM don't know many of mods for the new Gen headlight though...don't recall if anyone did anything with it.
I have seen people changing to new Gen headlight to the older style one, or go with dual headlight, but other than that, what are you looking for? Title: Re: Headlight mods? Post by: Jarvicious on November 27, 2012, 12:49:46 PM I built new brackets that made the stock headlight look waaaay bulky. This is off an old Suzuki GS. The chrome was demolished so I had it sand blasted and powdercoated it myself. Sorry for the crappy cell pic.

I pounded the dent out with a small ball peen hammer and I thought the powder would fill it enough, but it still showed through a little. Not too bad though for a 30 something year old hunk of metal.

This was after having been garaged for two+ months and mocked up when I got my forks back from traxxion. She's a little tidier now.

Post by: scoprire on November 27, 2012, 01:28:12 PM Don't know anything about it, but I saw a Harley at the gas station that had what looked like a standard 7-8 in headlight. Looking closer though, the internals were projector or HID. It kept the classic look, but I would expect much better performance.
