fitting triumph speed triple head light

[wanabe]

Does anybody know the size of triumph street triple headlight?  plan to fit them on my 620 2002 monster but don't have any idea how...has anybody done such mods? cheers....

The triumph headlight doesn't mount to the forks, but rather to the headstock, so you'll have to get creative.

 They look bad enough on the trumpet so please don't go and ruin the front of your monster

I agree...the round head light is a defining feature for our Ducati Monsters......you might have the tail chopped, other parts removed  but please keep the original headlight

dual headlights are one thing, speed triple headlights are another.

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

Man, those guages are screaming to get lowered, better yet replaced.

you are beyond correct. the headlight too (though I just had the bracket powdercoated ). 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.

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.

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 

If theres one thing that would put you off buying a speed or street triple its those bloody  awful headlights

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...)

hose clamp? wtf over.
