Front end

[Samuichris]

Hi all,
iv'e started tinkering with the front end look.
I had a spare headlight & cowl in the garage from a TDR 250 which iv'e grafted on, just a mock up at the moment.
What do you think???

It's a bit low - the handlebar shrouds don't quite line up. rememeber it sits high on the TDR due to the high bars. Nice try though. If you can ever get hold of some good TDR bodywork, let me know. I'm always being asked for it.

Funnily enough, i have a full set... Minus the headlight cowl now!!

Here's another angle, still undecided too....
Need to find somewhere to put the indicators as well.

Very... square... looking. I love the look of the round headlight. and it does look very low on the bike. good try all the same Is it the -1 front end or did you mount up an other front end. i saw one on sale here in ireland with upside down forks aven't a clue what bike he got them from or if he had to change the whole front end with them, probably did.

Early Fireblade forks fit quite easily - apparantly.

Just the forks or do ou need to change the whole front end? i wonder what that'd do to the turning and wheel length!

I spent the weekend messing with some other ideas....

i very much like this one!

Me too!  Although it's just a mock up at the mo', those lights only have stop/tail lamps in.
I'm now on the lookout for for a pair of real ones in that size.

Definately the best look imo!!

I have these on mine in chrome with a HID conversion to ease the strain on the charging system.

personally I cant stand the "street fighter" look. I am more into a polished and finished look, and they always look to me like they arent finished. I really like the tiny little fairing on the stock light, that looks great. IMO. not to say that your bik doesnt look good, it does, especially since the headlights appear to be mounted with the stock bracket. ** backpedaling**

I did look at that link you posted, and they have some fantastic looking fighters. I may have slightly changed my not so humble opinion....

The dual's look good but i was actually talking about the stock with the little fairing makes it look slick as hell

As I've metioned on here several times, I'm not a big fan of having two headlights. More is not always best and why have two when one will do the job and IMO look better.  It's not easy finding an alternative to the standard light that looks good, I've seen some great bikes ruined by some daft looking "alien" type nose fairing. Nope, I'd keep the lovely big single head light, it's a mototrcycle design icon - two lights up the front are for cars. Of course, it's a case of different strokes for different blokes.
