Well with enough time and skill im sure you can get most headlights to fit. Thats assuming you can find a way to mount it. The dual dominator headlights are popular (just google it). Also people go with a stock F headlight w/o the fairing. Im not sure about any other single round lights.....

Take a look at my post just above/below this one.  Just did the transformation from F -> E and have dominator headlights in.  Let me know if you've got any questions and I can walk you through the process to make sure you don't make any mistakes.

With enough modding, anything will fit. You can check out Thruxton fairings, V-Rod headlights, dual headlights, etc. There's eBay sellers that sell 1/4 fairings with headlights in them.

If you get a smaller diameter headlight, the mounting brackets need to be bent inwards a little bit.

well, i put little LED indicators and it does look kinda funny with a massive headlight and little LED indicators. i dont mind having to bend things to fit, and i really like the look of say and RVF400 headlight. i dont like the domination headlights they look too small and too old school to me but thats just me 2 cents. are all the plugs the same at the back for most headlights or are they different

H4 bulbs all use the same harness. Sometimes the high / low beam wires are different colors, but usually the ground is the same.
