In regarding to headlight upgrade,
anyone know the dimension for the headlight glass len of a standard monster headlight unit?
i am looking for some substitute clear len for the headlight from other motorcycle parts if possible..
or else ultimately are there any shop that i could custome make a glass len around Sydney?
I think you'll find the stock reflector with a clear flat glass plate in front of it won't work "properly". The stock headlight uses the shapes in the lens to redirect the light to give it the "legal" pattern - where there's a sort of horizontal cutoff to the right (where oncoming traffic is) and an angled up cutoff to the left (where the glare isn't going to affect oncoming traffic).
If you want the clean look of the flat glass, try hunting for SV650 headlights - some of them (not the very first versions, but also no the newest ones) have flat glass (or plastic, I suspect) front "lenses" with multifaceted reflectors to give them the legal bean pattern. You should be able to pick up the whole headlight assembly from a wrecker for about 1/3rd what Ducati charge to fix a cracked lens...
(And please don't ride around with the stock reflector and a fat lens, I'll curse you and your parenthood everytime you glare in my eyes as we pass by at night...)
