I've heard it is not a direct fit.... Something to do with the bucket being a little larger  Anyone done this? (for example Chris at DesmoWorld himself?)  |

 Exactly. Bolts holes are the same thread and size (M8). Its a completely new headlight, not just the lens. Included is the bucket, reflector, ring and glass. Uses the same bulb size (H4) though I have put in a HID (H4 kit). The ring attaches slightly different, so you can't swap parts back and forth from the stock headlight to the new one, such as a DP carbon fiber bucket (a shame, because it would look good with all the carbon nonsense i've got on the bike).

If you haven't worked with Chris at Desmoworld before, he's a pleasure to work with.

I just mounted this last week. I'm a newbie and it took me 15 minutes to put in place. On my 695 there was a little bit of space between the brackets on the bike and the headlight bucket so it would have been nice with a pair of spacers but works well without. The hole for the cables in the back doesn't have a "lid" but again is not a big issue. I strongly recommend maing the ring dark instead of chrome for any Monster frame color  I'll post some pics of my beauty as soon as I get time for it. |

I bought some lexan circles pre-cut off ebay for fairly cheap. After screwing around with the oven, temps, and a fixture, I got the sag where I wanted it.
For $80, it might have been worth it to just buy the thing....then again, I can say "I made that"

+1 The fact that they do business here would suggest they would be smart enough to have an option for english on thier site. No? I have visited their site on quite a few occasions to look for stuff and I always get frustrated and don't bother ordering anything from them because I can't find what I'm looking for BECASUE I DON'T SPEAK make the beast with two backsING GERMAN!!!  |

I guess those 4 years I spent in Germany paid off  . I learned enough German that I can navigate the Desmoworld website pretty easily. I have bought several things from them and I like looking for Monster bits you don't normally see for sale over here. The service is great too. |

What do you call a person that speaks three languages? Trilingual. What do you call someone that speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call a person that only speaks only language? American |

American  looks like you are right for 95% ... but we try our best to communicate also with the only one language americans/french/spain/... so dont worry, you are not alone  |
