I don't know if anyone has done those specifically, but a lot of folk have done Buell and other twin headlight conversions. Do a Search All Terms for "twin headlight."

That's a pretty good price for the set-up.

I thought the Buell lights came out to ~$60? Maybe that was per light.

I have the same lights. They're built very well from what I've seen. (Previous owner did the install, haven't had to tear into them yet.) As a consequence, I can't really compare it to the stock headlight. Haven't ridden the bike at night yet, but from what I can see they're pretty damn bright. I'm satisfied.
I'm sure Jetswing can give a more comprehensive review. :lol: :mrgreen:

i got the headlight from this guy in england. he has an online store and sells on ebay. i'm not sure if he still does or not. i paid $80 shipped. but i bought two of them.
the quality is solid. it's all metal (buell light is plastic) and very accessible for replacing the bulbs. i running silverstar bulbs. they are very bright.
installation is pretty straight forward. fits the stock braket perfectly. but it is a tight fit due to amount of cables that were housed inside the original headlight bucket. you'll be left with tons of excess cable.

Not to threadjack but has anyone done the gas mask headlight mod? I'm looking to do that to my gs750 and need some info. On the Buell lights, I read elsewhere that they were like 70 bucks for the whole thing.
Also info for the ebay seller would be great too.
cheers
