So, one of the principals at my school was telling me about a motorcycle his son had.  It has been sitting in a barn since it was low sided.  He didn't remember much about it other than he thought it was a 650 and it was some kind of Vance & Hines edition, and had a double headlight instead of the single headlight the normal version of the same bike.

Looking online, I found out about the V & H FZR600.  Could he just be mistaken about the 650 and the double headlight?  Was there another V & H edition anybody knows about besides the FZR?

This is a bike that might possible find its way to me for very very cheap in the near future.

AFAIK, the FZR600 was the only V&H production bike.

Maybe that's what it is.  He was going to look at the title and see what it said this weekend and let me know hopefully tomorrow.  I was trying to do a little research on it.

The double headlight was the FZR400, no?

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I saw that one, but was hung up about the double headlight the guy mentioned. 

Looking at images, it looks like 1991 and 1992 were the only years with the single squarish headlight.  It was wrecked once, I wonder if they put a headlight assembly from a different year when they repaired it.
