Alright guys, Which Fairing should I get out of the two pictured below:

The one with the single headlight
The one with twin headlights

Here's the Fairings:
Single Headlight

Dual Headlight:



Don't be afraid to post comments. Oh and I may or may not paint over the carbon fibre to match my bike depending on how good it looks when I get it.
Thanks for your input!!!

Any way you could provide a pic of your bike to possibly photoshop it?  The Buell-esque dual looks pretty good without knowing what your bike looks like, though.  The single looks too much like the Yamaha yzf600r (well, sort of).  I vote dual! :thumb:

thanks for your input... my bike is in my Avatar... its kinda small, but just so you know, its a pretty much stock, factory RED '96 GS500E. I'm at work now so I don't have access to all my pics. but here's what I got:


I no longer have that clear windshield installed, it was just on there for one trip and now its broken.

sorry they're of pretty bad quality, it's all I got to work with for now

Honestly I don't really like either that much, but I voted for the single.  If I were to change from the big round headlight I'd go with something like on the Buell Lightnings, maybe with or without the addition of the flyscreen

Do you happen to know of where one can get the dual lights with the flyscreen? and What about cost?

the dual lights as pictured above on that buell in combination with that windscreen look really good! That would look awesome on a GS500E

I'm thinking I wouldn't put either one of those on a bike of mine...and I put some pretty crazy crap on my bikes...

I found em on eBay, and ya I'm kinda leaning towards the single one too... but I'm still unsure.

Thanks for your comment!

what did you search to find them? I promis I won't bid on it and make it harder for you to get (can't afford it right now), but I'd like to look around and see what other stuff there is like that.

Oh sorry... I forgot to post a link  :cookoo:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4628113640&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

The seller has a few different kinds of fairings. There's one that has 4 headlights on it... looks pretty mean, but the windscreen in HUGE and looks dumb.

And FINALLY a Canadian seller! So I won't have to pay out of my a$$ for shipping!

To be honest I don't like either one.  The huge gap between the headlight housing and the fairing looks tacky.  The manufacturer needs to either make a custom headlight housing to fit properly or rework the mold for the fairing.

I've seen those 4 headlight ones before, there actually really tiny.

so are you going to go for the single one? please please please post pics if/when you install it. :bowdown:

Oh really? well that changes things... Do you recall approximately how big it was, and how it looked on a bike? I'm in the process of getting more pictures and dimensions from the seller. and IF/hopefully WHEN I do install it.. you better believe there will be some pics on here! acompanied with a 'how the hell I got it to fit' (aka: How-to)
