Did this ever get complete? I wanted to see it also. Definitely want to do a dual headlight system on my GS soon.

I was just nosing around on ducatimonster.org and happened upon this set up.  I think it looks pretty trick.

Hmm. That looks ok. The housings need to be black. I still prefer the horizontal configuration as opposed to that vertical configuration.

do you have any idea how expensive that setup is? it just might be more than your bike itself  :mrgreen:

I know nothin' about it, but from other stuff I've seen on that board, I certainly wouldn't be surprised.

indestructibleman has the Buell setup on his bike. wiring is an issue. Hopefully he can comment but he bought the bike that way. maybe he can post pics...

previous owner did this.  i think they're just cheapie halogen running lights from JC Whitney or something like that.

unfortunately, they don't have dual filaments.

each light has two ears on the back.  it was previously mounted lower, which left too much space between the lights and the instruments.  to move it up to where it is, i bored out the outside ear on each light a bit with my dremel so the turn signals would mount into them.

the inner ears are then zip tied to eachother.



this pic is from before i moved the lights.  unfortunately, there's still a dog's breakfast of wiring behind the lights.

I have a 2004 Suzuki Gs500f and I was thinking about making it into a naked bike but it seem to be alot of work to me that I really didn't want to miss with ( the front fork tubs ).
But my point is I love naked bikes!!!

I saw that post early. This is exactly what I want to do with my GS sometime soon.
