Using the XB9S dual headlight set up - $60, the fairing - $60, and the bracket  - $10.

whoa that looks very good, I'm thinking to get dual lights as well, I have a flyscreen that's really for the classic round headlight, but it has this 'nose' in the middle. with luck it should be right in between the headlights. are there any people with Photoshop skills on the board, I've never used it but I have a photo of my bike with flyscreen from the front so with photoshop it would be possible to see what it would look like.

Looks nice, you can get the ones like I have in black and would look the same but paid a bit more, but it came with bulbs and was a direct match to my plugs! And same thread/pitch and size of screw into the sides to mount them. Just had to shave some metal off the inside of the stock brackets to make them work right.

hey if i had 150 bucks laying around, the first thing i would do is get one of those fairings. they look awsome, way better than the 04 fairings at least (imo.)

Yeah they didnt have all that stuff when I did my twin headlights, the big headlight looks so old and dated. I'd rather have a full fairing mini sportbike look also but that $850 is now in my savings along with the rest of my money so I can get a real Sportbike.
