Headlight is so dated.. alternatives? looook

[semicollin112]

I recently have acquired a 2006 620 Dark and it looks soo nice but I have to say that the headlight is behind the times. The design of the bike is perfect and timeless but the headlight, to me, could use some replacing. I have looked around at dual headlight setups, and again, in my opinion, they either look like robot eyes from the movie short circuit or look like two smaller versions of the same exact dated thing thats on there now.

Coming out of the movies this evening I saw a newer MV Agusta and confused it with a monster for a moment but realized the headlight on that bike looks like it could go very well with the monster. Its a much more modern looking piece but still keeps with the round shape that was on there before.

ANYWAYS. Please take a look at these photos and tell me what you think. They are of the bike I saw, with the headlight I have my eye on. Has anyone even done such a mod? Anything closely relating to this style of light?

The brutale is a sick bike, but its just too. i dunno obease looking. anyway...the 696 has a very similar headlight. if you can find a way to score those.

I personally rock duals as seen on monsterparts.com love them.

i find the big 'ol round headlight "timeless" instead of "dated," myself, but i can understand how you might have a dissenting opinion.

if it were me, i'd just start with a 696 or MV light, and see what i had to do to graft it on. i don't imagine it would be very difficult.

Headlight looks like an oompaloompa with a droopy long face... 

[herm]

looks like you need a 696.....

i've been thinking the same thing about that light, but the only catch is if you have a faring on the front not sure if the shape of the mv light or the new ducati 696 shape will fill in the faring cutout correctly or line up correctly, but with no faring i would say get a 696 or a mv light and put it on and tell us how it goes.

I'm with the others, what you call "dated" I call "classsic" that's why I got the bike that I got.  Go to a stealership and check out the 696 mountings for the front head light and see how they match your bike.

Personally, I think the headlight on the Brutale is the weakest part of the bike.  Really, really uninspired.  The rear views of that bike are flippin' outstanding, then you get to the front, and it's a bit depressing.

It seems most Monster owners like the classic "round" headlight, and I'm in that group as well.  I believe I've seen some KTM headlights on some Monsters, and they look good, but the rest of the bike already has been Frankensteined to match. 

A double round is a good look, too, but that's getting into Triumph territory.
