Considering the amount of customization and modification some of us do to our Monsters, I would think adapting a round headlight to fit the Triple wouldnt be that big a deal.
That's what sheet metal is for  [thumbsup]

That would be some really heavy modification. Have you looked at how the headlight and cluster are mounted on the Speed Triple?

I like it - makes the bike look very modern.

The 696 headlight looks surprisingly good on the Triple.  It almost looks as if it was meant to be.  Good work!  [thumbsup]

I agree, the angular look of the bike really lends itself to the Monster headlight. I'm another that also thinks dual headlights might look better on the new monster.

One of my best friends rides a Street Triple R.  I think the dual headlight set up on it make it really ugly.  I agree with Duccarlos though, if Triumph made a street triple that looked like that I would probably buy one.

Not attached to the forks.  There is a bracket (or something) that extends from the steering stem.

The Triple looks good with the monster headlight.  Looks much better then the newer dual set up.

I think I may be the only one, but I like the way it looks.
