don't know many of mods for the new Gen headlight though...don't recall if anyone did anything with it.

I have seen people changing to new Gen headlight to the older style one, or go with dual headlight, but other than that, what are you looking for?

I built new brackets that made the stock headlight look waaaay bulky.  This is off an old Suzuki GS.  The chrome was demolished so I had it sand blasted and powdercoated it myself.  Sorry for the crappy cell pic.

Here's a couple at a little higher rez.  It's still a cell phone though, and the flash picks up weird shadows and dust.



You can see the damage in the metal here on the headlight ring.  I pounded the dent out with a small ball peen hammer and I thought the powder would fill it enough, but it still showed through a little.  Not too bad though for a 30 something year old hunk of metal.




Don't judge me .  This was after having been garaged for two+ months and mocked up when I got my forks back from traxxion.  She's a little tidier now.

Don't know anything about it, but I saw a Harley at the gas station that had what looked like a standard 7-8 in headlight.  Looking closer though, the internals were projector or HID.  It kept the classic look, but I would expect much better performance.

Yeah I was thinking of going dual headlight , or maybe even getting some colour in there
