Any idea what light that is?  Can't get a good look at it from that angle.

I can't see the pic (stupid work firewall), but if it's an Acerbis Cyclops...here's a link:

I think that's the one on his only with a modded screen.  I think it looks better from the side than from the front though.

Thanks to CDawg for the headon shots.  So here are some new photochops.
The first two may need mods to the fairing.

They show my bike:
With the Hesa Light as CDawg has it mounted
Same mounting point with the light/fairing lowered.
Lowered Hesa light and fairing with an adapter to lower the light a little more
Lowered fairing with OEM light

For me I think the circular opening of the fairing is throwing it off. I don't think it would look bad at all but the round headlight/curve piece leaves for a lot of space making it appear to not go together (IMO). If I had photoshop I would play around with adding/cutting the fairing to make it more complimentary to the shape of the headlight (my free trial of PS expired  ;D )

Mojo S2R

Yeah.  I thought the same.  I still prefer the Hesa light but want to keep the fairing.  If I can't find another light with more of an upside down teardrop shape with a bigger light on top and I do go with the Hesa Fire I will have to make something to make the fairing and headlight flow more smoothly together.  Maybe something in fiberglass to blend them together and fill in the open space.

for some reason TOB doesn't work for me anymore....not that I'm crying.

Mojo S2R,
Thanks for the PM.  You know, you can make it look a lot better (the gap may even work for you) by simply painting the Hesa headlight casing to match the fairing.

Mojo S2R

I really like the look of the Hesa Fire Headlight, but am now going to put this on the backburner as I have already pulled the trigger on a few other mods.  Some actually to improve performance and not just bling/aesthetics.  Unless something different comes along that I like more, this will  stay on my future mods list - unless I get some extra money from uncle IRS.  ;D

if someone could clarify somethings on this HESA headlight ( which causes some stiffness in my pants )
1 that is a headlight with high beam right - no details on the website
2 it should take some, hopefully little mechanical know how to make it work
3 how wicked would it look on the PWhite 696

ps i hope all of your answers are yes because there is very little keeping from doing this mod.
Favorite convo i read on this board

I have one on order for my MTS project, so I haven't seen it yet, but basically I was told it will plug into some dc harnesses, while others require 3 (I think) wires to be spliced. Either way, pretty easy.

flanman

Is the stock wiring fairly straight forward? I have never really looked into it but have always toyed with the idea of putting on another headlight...
