Whatever happened to a proper headlight. Maybe it's my age I just can't get behind these new shapes. I think a naked looks best with a round headlight... I'm only 34?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Ain't that the truth.
Like the 696. Love the motor's feel and power for its weight. Needed a reason to pregnant dog, I picked the headlight (others picked the subframe).

all those "new shapes" cast better light than your ol' round headlight.

Stock monster headlight is useless.

Riding while holding a flashlight can prove difficult so at least it's marginally better than that.
Who needs to see where you going anyway?

Meh-try it on a dark twisty road. Useless. I'll take function over form anyday.

Can't Change
Too much "hump" in the tank...
As for what could be modded...
mirrors are ugly ( but what stock mirrors arent?)
Can is HUGE.
Sounds like you're talking about somebody's wife.

We can send a man(and DMF sticker) to the moon but we can't make a round light that throws light and is decent looking on a standard? I'm not buying it.

Probably has to do with the width of the beam too. When counter steering-the headlight faces the direction you're not turning.

Seems like Honda or BMW could adapt those "turning headlights" that the car manufacturers have employed. I pick those two, because they are the gadgetry companies in my book.

If I'm drifting down the mountain road at night, do the headlights point in the wrong direction?
