Title: Speed triple headlights on a GS500?
Post by: wakdady on June 17, 2010, 11:43:33 AM
So i ripped off the fugly fairings and am looking for a headlight conversion. I like dual headlights and was thinking about the speed triple headlights. Can this be done? Anyone got a pic for reference? Where do I get the brackets?
Finally, wanna do it for me? just kidding  :laugh:

Not cheap, but good...or so I hear.

I like the triumph headlights, but unfortunately they never look good on anything except triumphs. I'd try some dominators. If you do go with the triumph lights, they don't mount to the forks like normal lights, they mount to a bracket on the front of the frame, similar to how fully faired sportbikes mount their headlight and fairing. You'd have to get creative.

I have the fairings on my GS500F. I'm adding a pair of Denali LED lights to the forks this weekend. Available at Twisted Throttle.
You can mount them just about anywhere.
They also have mirror extenders so you don't see your elbows in the mirrors anymore. Adding those, too.

Someday someone's gonna come up with some genius design for mirrors and we're not gonna believe no one ever thought of it before. On a side note, I used to have bar end mirrors on my last bike and they worked great. Someday when I have a garage and don't need my bike as skinny as possible to fit out of my basement door, I'll get some more.
